War is an American funk/rock/soul band from Long Beach, California, known for several hit songs. Formed in 1969, War is a musical crossover band that fuses elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, psychedelia, and reggae. They had a very talented group of musicians that played horns, keyboards, guitars and various percussion/drums. They had several big hits in the 70's.... "Why Can't We Be Friends" is my favorite and "Low Rider" was a HUGE radio hit.
WAR "Low Rider",, "The Cisco Kid",, "The World Is A Ghetto",, "Gypsy Man",, "All Day Music",, "Me And Baby Brother",, "Summer",, Four Cornered Room",, "Why Can't We Be Friends" & "City,, Country,, City"
Lee Oskar, the Harmonica player, is the only member of WAR whose name I know, but he is one of the stars of the group, and deservedly so. They were one of the great bands of the 70's, with a TON of hits. "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends", "Low Rider", "Livin' In The Red", "Summertime", and "Spill The Wine" with Eric Burdon from The Animals, for example.
Big Soul JMBOY - I'm a very elderly Old White guy; I've seen WAR twice way back in the day. The Harmonica player with the killer Afro is Lee Oskar, is not only a white guy playing soul/funk/fusion, but he is from Denmark. Who says people can't get along. Soul music is a gift to the world.
I went to MANY concerts back in the day & saw MANY legendary/iconic groups,, BUT,, the best concert of ALL,, Was WAR,, Santana & Malo together..Incredible!!❤
This Gospel singing family would make a very successful transition to mainstream music,, The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There",, "Respect Yourself" & "Uncloudy Day"
War doesn't get talked about much nowadays but they were big back in the pre-disco days. This was what people used to dance to before Earth, Wind and Fire.
The culture of music in the 1969s into the 1970s helped bridge some of the racial barriers that existed in the US. Music during this time was a driving force for change and youth empowerment. There are probably interesting articles about the topic of that era's music and the societal and cultural blending that was beginning to occur. I used to rush home from school to watch Soul Train after I discovered my younger sister grooving to music that I had only heard in passing. Being in Detroit we were familiar with Motown artists, but by the early 1970s black artists and performances were becoming more available to us young white kids. It was a fascinating time to grow up. Thanks for playing this.
War was so good! My two favorites are "Low Rider" and "Spill The Wine", but all their songs are great! I do recommend the audio version of these two, though. Thanks for another great reaction, JM! ✌💙✌
As a 64-year-old War fan, I can say without reservation that OUTLAW is the best song War ever made. I am shocked that, as of today, there is not ONE reaction to OUTLAW on UA-cam! Outlaw is the song that describes the fantasy of the LA scene in the 1970's and the 1980's! AWESOME SONG that you will ALWAYS come back to!
Oh ya brother! .. Love their sound. Soulful .. Bluesy .. Rockin' .. Latin funk .. A slow rollin' vibe. I don't know how else to describe the feeling. There are songs such as 'Golden Earrings' #Radar Love or 'The Doors' #L.A. Woman and #Roadhouse Blues that make ya want to put the 'pedal to the metal' and cruise down the highways at 80 - 90 mph .. But than here's 'War' with #Low Rider .. #Cisco Kid .. #Spill the Wine {W/Eric Burden} .. #World is a Ghetto .. #Home Cookin' {w/Eric Burden} .. #Summer .. #Gypsy Man .. #Tobacco Road {w/Eric Burden} .. #Outlaw .. #Bare Back Ride {w/Eric Burden} .. #Gun {w/Eric Burden} .. Ya know its gonna be a long day on the road, so ya ease back on the gas. 5 over the limit is sufficient .. 😎
In the 70's there was several great bands that used horns... Chicago, Tower Of Power, War, Blood, Sweat and Tears, The Commadores, Kool and The Gang, Rare Earth were some of the best. You want to do this soon.... Earth, Wind & Fire - That's the Way of the World (Official Audio)
Great band. I always keep WAR cd in my car. This was a good performance. I love the long studio version the best. A funk rock band from the 70s you'd enjoy is Mother's Finest. Listen to their song Baby Love from the Another Mother Further album. The whole album is great.
Cisco Kid is another popular one they had. 70s had the best music. No genre categories, you would have this song up on the music chart along side someone like Johnny Cash or Sinatra..
This is after Eric Burdon. Check out more great songs by War: Don't Let No One Get You Down (studio version); City Country City (instrumental) (studio version); and The World is a Ghetto (live) on The Midnight Special.
Eric Burton started with war 1969 in 1970 they released the album Eric Burton declares.war this band has gone through some lineup changes and it's one of the best in America
My favorite way to trip balls back in the 80's was.... to take about 3-5 tabs. 4 am.. I'd set my alarm clock, wake up, grab my paper by my bedside I'd set up hours before. Then go back to sleep. About two hours later, maybe less, I'd wake up. WOW the grass is green , the sky is blue, and it is a GLORIOUS DAY! No sketchy sights like at night. No hallucinations. My dreams cleared me of that before I woke up. Just Whaaaa HOOOOO>... definitely for the young LOL ! Its been over 35 years since I last tripped. No flash backs......what a bunch of horseshit. I want my money back.
One of my all-time favorite bands. I even had Lee Oskar's debut album. He is the harmonica player. You should check out their song The World Is a Ghetto but do the one off of the album because the single version is the edited version.
Okay, now listen to an awesome all black metal band called In Living Color play their song "Cult of Personality". Burin' Vernon Reid is the lead guitarist and he is amazing! So is Cory the lead singer. Everyone in that band is amazing! Saw them live in Hollywood FL and they're still playing & writing.
Your Patreon page is awesome stuff. I copy your videos in a folder on my desk top, and put them on Memory sticks to share with family/friends. The Thumbnails with your face are also showing the very large collection you have of “T-Shirts” and Hoodies. I own well over 100 Concert T-shirts from some legendary groups. Since my first suggestion you did on January 14th - Chambers Brothers - “Time Has Come Today” you have done 72 different artist and 223 songs (so far.. 12.7 GB) added to your file. Every song is a “Classic Rock” Icon or just plain “Classic”. My family and friends all think you are a great guy and do excellent reactions. My grand kids will see/hear these great songs along with your reactions. I can show them with no concerns… YOU are a real First Class Guy…. Thanks for all the great content and all the smiles I get watching you react to such great music. If you (anyone) want a copy let me know.
This live performance is about half the length of the original recording and completely omits the outstanding intro and ending. Really incomplete. Eric Burden only appears on the debut album.
Please "Rap" is cool? Can't hold a candle to "SOUL" music. Motown Rules. And please don't forget to play "The World is a Ghetto" also by War. Thank you. Goodnight.

I remember this played a lot on the A.M. radio.
This is greatness. Takes me back to my teen years in the early 1970s.
Al Wilson "Show And Tell"...Nuff Said.
I went to MANY concerts back in the day & saw MANY legendary/iconic groups,, BUT,, the best concert of ALL,, Was WAR,, Santana & Malo together..Incredible!!❤
🙌🏾 “All Day Music” ❣️
War is an all time favorite..those tight harmonies, the all around flavor was outta sight!!
This Gospel singing family would make a very successful transition to mainstream music,, The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There",, "Respect Yourself" & "Uncloudy Day"
Just an amazing, tight band of musicians! They all grew up together in the church and you can tell
Many an acid trip I was on to their music. Still listen to WAR today. Still very relevant ♥️
What a great song for driving out of town at night...and thanks for not stopping it so many times
I saw them in Vegas a few years ago. Took me back to better times.

This song makes me happy I have a serious Drum kit/Bongos/Congas/Timbales to play along... Great fun.

56 yo war fan here!! I was just a youn'g while you were teen , both luv'n this band ! har har!
This is after Eric Burdon. I would suggest checking out their song, Deliver the Word. It's a masterpiece.
War was a great band. I saw them live in about 1972.
I bought this on 45rpm vinyl, fresh off the presses in a store when i was 11 in 1972, heard it on the radio, had to have it
A MUST HEAR classic,, Rufus (Featuring Chaka Khan) "Tell Me Something Good"

The world is a ghetto is a great one
Thanks for getting to this one👍 I'm pretty sure you'd also like "The Cisco Kid" and "Low Rider" from War as well.
They skipped the whole opening of the studio version. I recommend you give that version a listen.
Cisco Kid is another popular one they had. 70s had the best music. No genre categories, you would have this song up on the music chart along side someone like Johnny Cash or Sinatra..

Those are all HUGE Bangers
All Day Music or The World is a Ghetto should be next! And give the studio version of Slipping into Darkness a listen
I'd love to hear your reaction to "The World is a Ghetto" one of my all time favorite songs.
Get down live is one of the best. Its 15 minutes. But i mean.
👍👍💯
Don't like no war but I do like me some War.
This live performance is about half the length of the original recording and completely omits the outstanding intro and ending. Really incomplete. Eric Burden only appears on the debut album.
Sir this was my time .
Didn't Bob Marley have the same beat
Recognize the hook?
Get up...
Please "Rap" is cool? Can't hold a candle to "SOUL" music. Motown Rules. And please don't forget to play "The World is a Ghetto" also by War. Thank you. Goodnight.
How could you be such a lame group of people?And just sit there in the audience and can't groove to that..GET UP ....WAR !
