    Lee Oskar is a Danish harmonica player notable for his rock-fusion playing with War. His Mother was a Holocaust Survivor. WAR band members accepted him with open arms
    and didn't care if he was a White Guy from a Nordic Country. War just wanted to play great music - and they damn sure did. Thanks, Guys, for playing WAR and for the fantastic
    commentary. I appreciate it.

    They had split with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon by then. That's the late great B. B. Dickerson on bass. His uncle, Howard Scott is on guitar, Lonnie Jordon on keys. Any of those three would sing lead on War songs. The sax man is Charles Miller, the harmonica player is Lee Oskar, And on drums is Harold Brown. Missing in this clip is percussionist Papa Dee Allen.

      @@324cmacWar was first. They were the first funk band and they did the first rap song. They belong in the hall of fame before a LOT of other bands. I think the biggest problem (which wasn’t their issue) was that Jimi played a set with them the night he died. Then the sax player, Charles Miller-I think that’s his name- was murdered. I don’t think it was ever solved. Maybe music executives felt that these tragedies somehow tainted the band. But then the unseen hand started pitting members against other members. The same tactics that were/are used against some bands, especially black ones. The bands break up. The members have no money and some nonblack persons walk off with the money. It’s sad. I can only imagine just how great they could have been if they had been left alone to play THEIR music.

    • @hildat8
      @hildat8 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’m sure that War practiced, but they were a much better live band than anybody else in the late 60’s and early 70’s. As a matter of fact they came to prominence because when they played venues, particularly in Europe, but also at Woodstock, people would not let them leave the stage. So they would start playing and they might play one song for maybe 30 minutes and it would be all improv. You can see just how comfortable they were just playing. I don’t think any of them could have had a solo career, but together they were magical. I still wish that they could have come back together, but without, Papa Dee, B.B.,and Charles Miller (rip)it would not have been the same.

    Great great reaction La/Che. War a very underrated band. This band is full of spectacular musicians in this band. Saw them 5 times they never disappoint. Thank you for reacting to this song. One of my favorites from them along with Sleeping into Darkness…

    Yes, they are fantastic and criminally underrated. A lot like Tower of Power with the funk and horns. Equally great tracks: “ All Day Music”, “Slipping Into Darkness” & “Nappy Head (Theme from Ghetto Man)”. Glad you like ‘em! 👍

    Nice tune! War is incredibly polymorphic. Every song seems to be completely independent of each other. Ballero, too, is a good tune from them. Watching the Soul Train Line of it is even better. Hope you react to it and it doesn't get blocked.

      No. VIBEKA is their “best” song. Check it out if you don’t know it. It’s from the “War” album. Let me know what you think. 😉

    Such a stellar band. Saw them years and years after they were big at a very small venue in the San Fernando Valley. Even then they were tight and perfectly in tune with one another. All Day Music, Summer, Low Rider and where would Eric Burdon's Spill the Wine have been without War? Can't say enough good about their music.

    Wow, every time I watch these reactions. They are getting into music that I didn't know of. And it's the same as when I was a teenager. Back then it just seemed that the universe opened up. It was a great time of discovering new and exciting music. .
    Yes, the studio version of "The World Is A Getto" I enjoy. I've never heard it played live. And so we're taking this journey together.
