I Have Been Listening To War Since Their First Album,, I Was 9 Then,, 60 Now & Still Lovin & Listening.

I was 17 and had the 8-track in high school! ☺

58 as well

Same for me - still genuinely puzzled, especially with all the goings on in America. Music-wise, luckily our UK radio stations fully embraced black artists, got to hear all the great music MFSB!

I am your same age.. got a year on you, so I know exactly where you are coming from. Growing up, I had a friend across the street that I played with on a regular basis. I am an only child but my mother had brothers and sisters and my cousins came over quite often. I remember asking them if they wanted to go across the street and play with my friend, Donna. They told me that they could not because she was "mexican". This was news to me and it upset me.. In that group of cousins, three of us were very close in age and I was much closer to my cousin Greg, who was about a little more than a year older than me, much more so than his sister, who is only 6 months older than I am and, to this day, Greg and I are much closer than I am to his sister. Out of that family, Greg is the only one who has had relationships with people of all races and that to me is just sad.. I have relatives who have never had lunch with a person of a different race.. I truly hope this changes.. I know I raised my girls to look past color and to judge people by the way they acted, not by the way they looked. Have a great day and here's to rocking out and keeping great music alive with Jamel!

@@connieb4372 It just proves that children are innocent vessels & that people must be TAUGHT to hate.

@@moanman1776 Yeah, a number of years ago I saw a t-shirt with an infant, and it said "No child is born a racist'.

I'm with you. I didn't know there was such a thing as racism until I was in like 4th grade. I've always had friends with Mexican decent, African decent, and Asian decent. From before way before I ever started school of any sort. When I was informed. My friends a I were skateboarding around town (small town) and my friend Jamal (not the same dude. This was in New Mexico) ran into some guy walking out of a store. And the guy was calling Jamal all these words, names, I had never heard before. I shit you not. And of course I could tell these were very mean word worse than just explicit language. After we got away from there with tons of apologies I had to ask the meanings. And I was appalled that there was even a notion of such hateful and frankly moronic thinking. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. We all bleed the same we are all of this planet. I am ashamed of what the European, Caucasian has done to this world in respect to others.

There's another video of that time that WAR time Why can't we be friends.. Like Elvis Presley once said lend your brother hand for the sane God that made you made him to. Again, I ask you why can't we be friends?? Why not¿

tbh, all through the 70s and 80s bands and friends were racially mixed and honesty nobody cared bc we cared about the music and about people we loved. the saddest part about what's happening now is that it's actually breaking lifelong friendships and taking us back the 1930s. it's sad, but all we have to do is ignore it.

Damn right

If only it could be as easy as this video yall.

Spill The Wine with Eric Burdon! Classic

Ya know I’m 66, and until today I always thought this was Sly and the Family Stone 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@niles006 LOL. Well, both groups WERE multi-cultural.

@@elysehfm8797 hahahaha. I have heard that before

People are choosing love more n more and rejecting all hate. My whole life has seen progress so dont despair, just keep loving.

War was a band from Long Beach, Ca. They lived in the area near VIP Records. They were an established band before Eric Burdon joined them.

Spill The Wine...

@@stevenbrasch5307 not what I read ✌🏼

@@stevenbrasch5307 The original War was conceived by record producer Jerry Goldstein and Eric burdon (ex-lead singer of the British band the Animals).

As much as I love Eric Burdon he was not a founding member. Having said that The Black Man's Burdon classic record.😉

Iam in total agrrement with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good idea.

Wonderful idea!! JAMEL should consider it! It goes well with his "just be a good human" shirts!

i 4th that, Jamel!!! Peace out.

The 70s, Do your own thang.

Yep.

He did "Spill The Wine".

don't forget 'Me and baby brother'!

Cisco Kid...yes! That's a great one!

Deliver the word is a jam too

Also, “Don’t let no one get you down”, “All day music”, “Magic Mountain” with Eric Burdon.

Facts

@@dorothyparker8433 There is another version, where the word "suffering" is replaced by the word "fighting"

YES!! Such a Groove!!

I completely agree, that was used in an episode of Mayans MC so appropriate for the scene

An absolutely awesome and amazing song, I love Slippen into Darkness!!!😊🙂🎶🎶

Bro!! That's the track!!

@@kathybwell quite possibly their funkiest groove

Is the song on here?

It Has Never Been Hard For Me To Understand,, Because I Am Native American (Navajo) & I Raised Myself Since I Was 9 With The Belief That,, The Earth Is My Mother & ALL Her Children My Brothers & Sisters..One World,, One Love,, One Race........Human.

@@Caperhere not yet because I haven't finished it, but it's called Before It Comes Crumblin' Down and it's about how screwed up things have been for the last 4 years. 🙌✌️

@@happymethehappyone8300 AMEN !!!

@@doobiedave9686 Especially the last 3 months...

I think that the lowrider video would be a excellent play

The one with cheats putting the shine on the lowrider all right all right

Great song

You know what else has a summer song vibe by War? Summer! 😆

CPR4LIFE 👍

!!!!!!

Indeed!

Yes, indeed!

Love your comment!!!!

The HUMAN race. No interracial. Wish that would drop out of the dictionary. 🌞

@@jesmarluk6635 I agree. We can be even better friends when systemic racism is dismantled which is on white folks.

@@jesmarluk6635 Not everyone feels the same as us, sadly. Until that time comes, we keep on pushing for it, right?

😂👍

Poor Dogs!!!!!!!!!!!! rotflmao ..just kidding dear

But dogs are usually your best audience! No judgment! Maybe concern for your health, but they still love you and not tell you to shut up! LOL!!!!

👍

Me too! Great suggestions! 👍😁

@@headbangingmama8907 tanks :D

hey yes I agree with that all right all right brother lowrider Lowrider come on now they got the that video of the Cheech and Chong movie all right why would that not be an excellent play all right

No, it's much worse today. The 70's were a time of healing.

@@rogerdodger6025 I lived through the sixties and seventies and the violence and divisions didn't stop at the end of the sixties. This decade and its problems have not reached the level of the sixties and seventies, yet. I have noticed that each generation thinks their challenges are the greatest ones. Time will tell... My point was simply that there are always those that stand for love and brotherhood, even in turbulent times.

@@rogerdodger6025 The chaos of the late '60s continued well into the '70s! It actually got worse as it metastasized throughout the country into the mainstream.

@@mowerdan8133 I had no such problems unlike today.

@@rogerdodger6025 You can't compare this past year of pandemic doom to any other year in current times. Were you an adult in the '70s? with double digit inflation, crumbling cities, rising crime, stagflation, high unemployment, soaring divorce rates, etc.....which was all occurring throughout the '70s decade, not just this past unique year we've had.

@@elysehfm8797 Yes! Big boys don’t cry! My older brother had the 45 and I had it memorized! I think I was only 5 or 6?

Mr Jaws why are you grabbing my hand? No wait Mr Jaws this is not how the records supposed to end. Help Help! Going under water.........Great memory.

@@cherylreichardt Hahaha!

@@elysehfm8797 Yes! He should!

@@elysehfm8797 Maybe! When I was a kid, we used to make our own with a a tape recorder!

@rib bit I will tell him thanks

That was the first time I heard this song.

I get really frustrated with the algorithms because Screwtube only allows me to see the same videos every day with few exceptions. I try to get around it, but its not easy. I'm so tired of Big Tech telling me what I want to see. How I wish the killionaires would get a life and quit making us their experiments and hobbies! Dad blame control freaks! 😤

Hey, that's a great idea!

That is a way cool suggestion, Joseph Armsberger.

@@problyzuited9828 NO. It's because Jamel's a west coast 40-year-old guy & I'm an east coast 62-year-old gal. His Mom is probably about my age because he is the oldest in his family. I grew up in the Woodstock era because I had older sisters. Most of my contemporaries were the oldest in their families. Our music choices were way different. Most of my friends never even heard of the entertainers that I grew up listening to.

@@dee_dee_place thanks many of our musical journeys begin in the home. Mine was around 3 dancing around the living room with my mom and aunt to Chicago, Moody Blues, etc. They’d have wine and funny smelling cigarettes, we’d laugh and dance for hours. Thought it would be cool if he shared his experiences.

@@josepharmsberger7633 My musical upbringing was Big Bands & religious music from my folks, heavy metal from my middle sister, & everything else from my big sister. I was thinking about the comment from @probly zuited, & I realized that before the advent of TV (our 1st Black & White was bought just before the Beatles played on Ed Sullivan) most musicians had regional following fan bases. Once TV started airing their music, they went national & international.

@@Eva_la_Diva Sad, isn't it.

@@Eva_la_Diva What's sad is that my family hid our Cherokee ancestors from us. I didn't find out until I was in my forties.
