A rather leggy brunette came to Calumet City Illinois('71) via San Jose bringing her free spirit, fashion and music. WAR, Tower of Power, Boz Skaggs along with her presence changed me forever. Man I think about that......
@silvernail6 I had a similar experience, I wish they all could be "California Girls", like Cynthia Robinson of "Sly" and Mary McCreary of "Little Sister" (and later Leon and Mary Russell).
War is one of the greatest bands ever. All of their music has their own original sound and is totally relevant to their audience and their time. War is not just a great band, but a great part of my life. I saw an outstanding show at the Greek Theatre in the late 70's, I will never, ever forget it!
Love seeing the elders drop by and sharing their experiences with musics/groups that were instrumental in shaping the sounds of r&b that exists today. A shell of its former self, yes.
This title track is the laid-back groove for the people...it's something else because the bridge of this song foreshadows the next album like a calm before the storm to the next album's title track, The World is a Ghetto (listen to those horns in the solo bridge and tell me if I am wrong).
I'm 63 and I remember listening to War in college in the early 70's...little did I realize that years later my wife and I would count drummer Sal Rodriquez drummer from war..as a friend and have members of the band and him play at our annual Christmas party.....

@chiliverde29,The drummer from WAR is Harold Brown, and he still performs HIS WAR songs with ORIGINAL WAR members, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar and BB Dickerson under the name THE LOWRIDER BAND. WAR fans have been lied to for so long now, that they are giving WAR credit to those who didn't create WAR music and forgetting those who did. Please drop by my channel and learn the truth. Peace.
@lowriderbandfan That all may be true, what you said...Bands implode every day.
But...Who is the lead singer here? He's not in the Lowrider band, and the lead singer's 'War" band doesn't have the great musicians that backed him up, The Lowrider Band.
It's us life-long fans who suffer too...
"Why Can't We Be Friends"? You gents will have to answer that one yourselves, I guess..
@emptyradio1, Lonnie sings lead on this song, that's true, but Lonnie is not the lead singer and writer for every WAR song like he and the OWNER/THIEF of the WAR name and copywrites would have WAR fans believe, so they and hired hands can live off the hard work, time, talent and originality of the rest of the ORIGINAL artists of WAR/LOWRIDER BAND and the fame of the WAR name. It's sad when supposed WAR fans just don't get it, and keep supporting greed and corruption, instead of what is REAL.
In my 50's, from Florida, and we were grooving to this back in the day. We use to go to the beach, smoke our weed, and listen to the waves. PRICELESS!
I'm 51 years old, from Philly, a place called Blumberg. This is real music! War was one of the most talented bands of the 70's. I have this on wax. I love the feeling of relaxation to solid music. In the neighborhood or hanging out at Atlantic City, chillin' with a cold drink. O' this brings back some great memories of fantastic times and beautiful people, sitting out all night talking, singing, a little taste and playing basketball until...Rob, time to come in. Bless War!
Hey guys I accidentally clicked the flag as inappropriate...my bad...total accident I dig this All Day Music!! Im 56 yrs old & still love my classic music!! Tucson gal..
I love this too, it WILL take you back....I'll play this forever, I just heard it on a jazz station and thought I would listen again......best ever, you got that right....oh I'm 56 yrs old..Cali Girl
I'm 59 years old, and this just brings me back to my college days in Philly. Everything about this is great, including the dust on the needle on the record player!
Elmira new york at the Neighborhood house 1972 the east gym partying to this song and alot of other old skool sounds. Real music. East side and Hollow having big fun.aka pokey.
@lowriderbandfan for real? I saw what I thought was WAR at B B Kings in New York last year, they were still hot - when they did Baby Brother I nearly lost it, I jumped up and started to do my old lady dance, cause all of a sudden I realize the older I get the more I dance like my Mom?? Thanks for that info Low, I would have never guessed. Peace !!
@essiusc, Yeah, the band you saw under the WAR name is basically a cover band with only one original WAR member and the stolen name of WAR. The 4 remaining OG's of WAR stood by each other and didn't sell out for the WAR name that THEY made famous, so that's why they call themselves THE LOWRIDER BAND, but they ARE WAR and ALWAYS have been WAR, just without THEIR WAR name. Drop by my channel for the details and for more great music by the OG's of WAR. Peace.
@lowriderbandfan I sure will , I love knowledgeable music folks! I'm going to keep my eyes open do you know for the Lowrider Band, for live dates... i will check your channel out.. peace babe and thanks for the info
@essiusc, If you want to see the REAL DEAL, the LOWRIDER BAND will be performing in Riverside, CA at the Mission Tobacco Lounge on Oct. 22. Hope you can make it. Peace.
GREAT SONG , MAKES ME MISS AN OLE FRIEND DEVONNE DEE DEE ROCHELLE SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE PERSON AND ENJOYED THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER I WISH HER ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD AND I KNOW THAT SHE WILL DO GOOD IN WHATEVER SHE PUTS HER MIND TO THANKS THI SONG IS FOR YOU!!
@ChicanoTattooArt Chale homie, your only as old as you feel. These oldies are my thing, I checked out your channel and its pretty firme. I collect old records and 45's, most of them my jefito gave to me when I started DJ'ing in high school. I'll try and upload a few and share my rollas with you so we can keep this alive.
@JAEBONE61 hell yea homie! thank you, damn thats firme you collect 45's, check out my ebay store I dont have much oldies right now pero I have tons of firme stuff homie, the lnik is on my channel if your interested homie, stay up!
Fifty Six and counting here also....just sitting here reminiscing about all youth gone by, the sunday afternoons we cruised Brackenridge Park in San Antonio back in the days when all was cool, gas was cheap, and chicks...welll, you had to have been there...awesome music, thanks for posting! I LOVE WAR!!!
this song reminds of my mom and how she would play her oldies on sundays, I was a youngen then but boy oh boy memories. I miss my MOTHER so much may she RIP.
@paggyann193, They may sound good but that wasn't ORIGINAL WAR. That groove is with the REAL CREATORS of WAR music, THE LOWRIDER BAND. WAR fans have been burned by Jerry Goldstein for so long now, that his WAR LIE looks like TRUTH. I was even fooled for awhile and I'm a HUGE WAR fan. Glad I learned the TRUTH before it was too late to give my WAR propers to the REAL artists of WAR.
send a copy of this to..jay z..kanye west and small wayne or is it little wayne..tell them its not how much money you make BUT being able to play an instrument and sing..of which they know nothing about..have a good day..
I'm 56 years young and to this day this has to be one of the best songs EVER written. And I can't say more than what all these other comments have to say. You've all spoken well, especially amd77j! I also love the scratches in the sound track, dates it well. Hi all you fellow WAR lovers!
@Scootersrides, It's great to see another WAR fan here. FYI, 4 of the ORIGINAL men of WAR still perform this and THEIR other great WAR songs, but they are now known as THE LOWRIDER BAND, because a greedy former producer of theirs STOLE THEIR WAR NAME. If you want to see and hear the REAL WAR band in action you're NOT going to find it with the WAR COVER band that tours today. Never forget the REAL OG's of WAR, Lee Oskar, Howard Scott, Harold Brown, BB Dickerson of THE LOWRIDER BAND. Peace.
@okaythenbob, Not referring to Lonnie Jordan at all. My wish it that Lonnie would come to his senses and rejoin his 4 OG WAR brothers of THE LOWRIDER BAND. That greedy former producer is Jerry "Golddigger" Goldstein. Mr. Jordan doesn't even own the name that he helped to make famous, but he was the only original surviving WAR member to cave to Mr. Golddigger's evil ways. That is why that THIEF Jerry can stake claim to the WAR fame and profit, while the 4 ORIGINAL artists of WAR get screwed.
I was 16 back in 1972 when this song came out. The words&music stayed in my mind for many years, plus the scratches of the old vinyl adds nostalgia. thankx for posting
Anyone else besides me notice how the back cover of this album showing the musicians is similar to the inside cover of Santana Abraxas? Almost as weird as that Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" and Bob James "Three" album covers.
1 person doesn't like to play music all day. That person who voted this great song down doesn't like to listen to "All Day Music" all day, either! Has that person no soul? I guess not!

GROWING UP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN THE 70'S WAS ALRIGHT , WE ALL GOT ALONG A DIFFRENT TIME BACK THEN, BROTHER WHERE COMMING BACK FROM VIETNAM .. THAT RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME ..
@mryellowcrown You know it friend. I was in my neighborhood just East of Downtown L.A. back then and your right. My brother was just back from Vietnam in those days. What sweet memories and how good L.A. was back then. I truly miss all those days. We burned this album out.
Love WAR!!!! So glad I found them again! My albums were destroyed in a basement flood!!! Love Mother Africa and All Day Music....love the harmonica and the saxaphone. Play on brothers!!!!
Brings back memories of Overton Park in Memphis, Tennessee on a Sunday afternoon in the summer with all the young Black folk hanging out. Beautiful sisters everywhere. And music like this to set the mood. No worries about random shootings, gangs, or drugs. When we knew who we were and that we were going someplace in life. Thanks for posting!!!
@amd77j Absolutley! We used to drive our parents' cars to the park next to TSU in Nashville, play our musical 8 tracks and hang out. We never feared for our lives or worried about fights & stuff. And yes, we knew we had a hope and a future.
I remember when this album first came out. My older brother bought the 8-track (yeah, they were around then) and he, I, and my younger brother would go to the laundry to wash clothes together. Of course the girls were there doing their thing (why else would he bring his little bros with him? SOMEBODY had to put the clothes in the machine while he bird dogg the chicks).
Back in the late 60s-70s it was all about Girls When WAR was On. Man I Miss Though days, I was the guy all the girls wanted to be with and it was all due to My Car, My Music and my sure my looks had something to do with it. to all the girls i loved & Loved Me. I'm still alive and still have my oldies close to my heart."RICHARD ST.& ZONAL AVE" TElapuente@aol.com "Can You Remember"
Just superb in every way...makes me want to breathe in and out and love everyone! It's that simple. Song is a masterpiece of love for everyone in an 'effed up world.
This song makes me think of my Family and all the loved ones and freinds that have passed on, all the Homies that I knew growing up that have also passed on, all the weekend B.B.Q's in the back yard with the old lady Hot summer days spent drinking Budwiser an Corona cooking Carrne asada, Just staying out of trouble, kicking back and injoying life. Working hard from 9 to 5 waiting till the weekend just to do it all over again but it never lasts forever Lifes hard then you Die! Lou from Whittier
Hip Hoppers , they were a BAND , a deeply talented BAND , w/ Rhythm and great ORIGINAL SONGS and in concert , forget-bout-it . Couple of beers, a toke and you didn't care if your car was being stolen and not a droopy pant or gold tooth in the group .
I have such great memories of summers when I was a kid, before terrible things happened to me. This is definitely one of the songs that remind me of total innocence. Boy! Your Parents can reeeaally do a number on you! Anyway the song is Awesome. LOVE WAR
@TommyFSwagg i heard people speed it up by changing the bitrate or something cant remember but they speed it up so it doesnt get recognized and not taken down
@Fletch7453 ................You ain't kiddin brother. How lucky were we to have had songs like this and so many others of this era. If I could only go back.
Respect for posting - The 70s have to be thee coolest most mellow decade there ever was - The big NATURAL Blk hair the flashy clothing Pam Grier - I'm saying thanks 70s for helping to create who I am - All day Old school music - I'm married to this music - It damn sure soothes my mind - All day Old School music
WAR WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST GROUPS PUT TOGETHER BAD ASS NUMBER HEARD SO MANY TIMES AND STILL ON THE ONE THANK FOR POSTING MY BROTHA WE ARE SOUTHERN CAL BABY.
@clever072004, Hey that's great if you got to jam with the OG's of WAR, now the LOWRIDER BAND, not the hired hands that pass themselves off as WAR. Peace.
Now im only 18 and grew up listening to oldies but man this is what music is supose to be.. nothing like how music is today what happened?? great song puts me in a mellow/great/relaxed mood!

Let us all be shepherds and encourage the lamb back to it's rightful family.
One such member of the flock: Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan has wandered away.
Please make a concerted effort to guide this member back to the family who wants and needs him.
Your voice will be heard.
And Mr. Jordan is truly missed.
I would encourage everyone to support "The LOWRIDER Band" and it's original members.
Support the campaign to reunite them together.

I was 16 back in 1972 when this song came out. The words&music stayed in my mind for many years, plus the scratches of the old vinyl adds nostalgia. thankx for posting

Anyone else besides me notice how the back cover of this album showing the musicians is similar to the inside cover of Santana Abraxas? Almost as weird as that Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" and Bob James "Three" album covers.

1 person doesn't like to play music all day. That person who voted this great song down doesn't like to listen to "All Day Music" all day, either! Has that person no soul? I guess not!

Brings back memories of Overton Park in Memphis, Tennessee on a Sunday afternoon in the summer with all the young Black folk hanging out. Beautiful sisters everywhere. And music like this to set the mood. No worries about random shootings, gangs, or drugs. When we knew who we were and that we were going someplace in life. Thanks for posting!!!
amd77j 1 year ago 22
@amd77j Absolutley! We used to drive our parents' cars to the park next to TSU in Nashville, play our musical 8 tracks and hang out. We never feared for our lives or worried about fights & stuff. And yes, we knew we had a hope and a future.

I remember when this album first came out. My older brother bought the 8-track (yeah, they were around then) and he, I, and my younger brother would go to the laundry to wash clothes together. Of course the girls were there doing their thing (why else would he bring his little bros with him? SOMEBODY had to put the clothes in the machine while he bird dogg the chicks).

Working hard from 9 to 5 waiting till the weekend just to do it all over again but it never lasts forever Lifes hard then you Die! Lou from Whittier
