*******************

“We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR

WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".

WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

The coolest song ever with just the right amount of cow bell.

[Mouse]

it’s crazy to think that this song is almost 50 years old, and it doesn’t sound dated. It’s just a classic song all around!!!

[leopoldoblancososa]

Black guys and whites guys groovin, making great music. Thats whats we need to heal the world!

[rubedogg]

Who else thinks WAR belongs in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!

[AvgDude]

I’ve always considered this song a masterpiece of rhythm.

[poketz]

A black guy singing one of the most famous songs in the Mexican/Chicano community….that’s nothing new. All the oldies we love to jam are sung by black men and woman also. I love black culture. Black culture is American culture and they should be appreciated. Like Morgan freeman said black history is American history. We love our black brothers and sisters. We thrive and we survive. We are a lot alike. Thank you for sharing your culture with us. ✊🏽✊🏿🇺🇸🇲🇱🇲🇽

B.B Dickerson gave me the money to buy my first drum set. I made my living performing around the world thanks to him. R.I.P BB

[gliderider]

This song is literally backed by an entire culture of amazing people, no one cares what sex, color or religion, just low riders.. that’s our commonality. Much love

[butchcoolidge]

One of the greatest grooves in the history of music.

[Amber_Freeman_Unmasked]

admit it every 70s and early 2000s kids woke up hearing this classic either by tv or by radio

[balaton]

Tell me in 50 years a young man won't find this tune. Slow down to 10 mph, roll down the windows and blast this down the boulevard! I did it today, rolling down the job site and all the boys taking it in. The smiles! The smiles! It just grabs me.

[gregebert]

A hundred years from now, this will still be a beloved classic.

[saanzacs]

RIP Charles Miller (saxophonist/vocalist), Morris 'BB' Dickerson (bassist) and Papa Dee Allen (percussionist)

[chrishorst]

Can you imagine when they wrote this song they probably never imagined how much of an Iconic song it would become. And still be loved so many years later

[freedomfirst]

An iconic Mexican-American song, writen and sang by a black groovy dude, now that is America.

[masterdoge]

The fact that this was made nearly half a century ago and is still one of the boppiest songs in history really shows how ahead of their time WAR was.
