  • this song reminds me of brother! He love this tune!

  • the most beautiful intro... coming from a guitarist.. how did they come up with this shit????????????/

  • @TheScoobie1313, Good to see someone recognizing the talent of other members of WAR, not JUST the singer on this particular song. WAR was a brotherhood once, with each artist bringing their own unique style,vocals,songwriting to create magic and a brand new sound all their own. Unfortunately,corporate greed has divided the original artists of WAR, with 1 choosing the WAR name and 4 choosing to remain a brotherhood. The 4 are now called THE LOWRIDER BAND, the REAL WAR band to this WAR fan. Peace.

  • Aye, Intl..... Network'in huh!

  • My little bro was there when they recorded this jam, partying with them and the Hispanic MC's in LA. He said this was one of the coolest things he's ever done. He partied with Kid Frost and Rick James a few weeks earlier too.

  • this is the song we used to get ready for school with. we wished it for our friends and loved ones, and got high with it, just cause it was and still is a bad ass song.

  • this is one of my all time favorite songs ever firme rola

  • This is High School days.......such a talented band. And a sound that was theirs and theirs alone...

  • back when black and brown could get along..sigh

  • we all better get our priorities right on track, brown, black,white,yellow or any other color were all the same, the only difrence is the money, there is poor, and there is rich.whos in control.

  • hell yeah..this song brings it all back now...hell yeah

  • I agree with everything.Except the scumbag part.

  • Love this song... I never heard it before but it really caught my attention when I first heard it - I was at a bar in Colorado Springs, CO (The Irish House) and the DJ played this song.

  • This Song Is Absolutely Perfect!!

  • God Bless those that see the positivity in this tune. Peace be with you.

  • @CampyNeighbor and peace be with you neighbor ^_^

  • Love This Tune..

  • It would be so beautiful if chicanos and blacks would put there pride to the side and just get along because like it or not we're in the same economical shape and all this hatred among us is not right.

  • One of the best bands ever...I might do a rendition of this!

  • Dont let no on get u down born in east los playin the oldies in the mid west

    

  • It doesn't matter if you're blk or wht, this song is a good song, and is about re-birth, and remembering who you were when you were younger. It is a true song of the Aquarius.

  • My father use 2 jam 2 this when I was a kid... I didn't feel it... Im 38 & now I feel it!!...lol

  • im 16 years old and i love the oldies im Mexican im a sureno but yea all this black vs brown shit gotta stop and eventually even the SUR vs norte crap

  • oldiez 101............

  • This song makes my world a better place.

  • Black Power and Brown Pride is what it do.. No imagine if we bridged the gap between us... No one could get us down.. No one would want it with us... Peace

  • R.I.P Grandma Esther Felix Kano. Always Thought About Everyday And Will Always Be Missed..

  • DON"T LET NO ONE GET YOU DOWN.....

  • G double o d music..

  • This will always remind me of my Bosco.......rip baby. Always giving me & all who knew him positive quotes, hugs & love. You are truly missed baby..........until we meet again. 

  • This song was played also by many blacks during their house parties when it first came out, it reminds me of Los Angeles Calif, when we used to also jam to it while getting dressed to get our selves in the mood before going to the party.......good old days. Blacks and Browns have a lot in common when it comes to taste in good music.

  • @DMScottful I totally agree w/ u this song was played by me on my sister stereo constantly back in the good old days & especially @ neighborhood backyard parties.With Blacks & Chicanos gathering & having a good time here in L.A.

  • @DMScottful Completely agree, but the truth is we have alot more in common than just music taste.....

  • @DMScottful

    Easy Man, i'm white and bought the 'Why can't we be friends' Album

    when it first came out round about '75?....Inner city London has many races and cultures living together and we have much in common, usually involving lack of cash and opportunities..but we all loved our music and guess what?..pretty girls are pretty girls in any colour.

  • Love this song

  • Thumbs up! Love this song!!

  • best song ever much love to the latino culture

  • This song takes me back whenever I hear it. It reminds me of the good old days in Cali!! Soldiers, Marines, Seamen, and all those serving know what it feels like to have just a slice of home when they hear a song...this is but one of many for me!!! God Bless

  • All the Black and Brown people need to realize that we are the future of this country and need to find peace with each other and not let some scumbags sitting in a cell doing life dictate our peace on the streets. We can do this by letting the music bridge our differences. Just a thought.

  • @kocho714 : All humans need to do this. Race is a lie.

  • @kocho714 What a beautiful thought. Now it's upon ourselves to convert our actions. <3

  • @kocho714 rubbish! we are not the future of his country ..... things have been decided already

  • @visualvin 1 needs sound reasoning and courage to stand up against wrong decisions... all of us can make the difference...

  • @kocho714 Oooooh.... so only the Black and Brown people are the future of this country?

  • @AttackingRainbow Well with 50% of white males being obese and overweight yea I would say we have a stake in the future. Notice I said stake and not steak!!

  • @kocho714 amen brother.

    

  • @kocho714

    how about we leave race out of music good tunes is good tunes

  • @kocho714 Si! So true!

    `

  • @kocho714 GOT NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR YA ESSA, DOWN HERE IN OAKLAND TRYNA DEAL WITH THE MADNESS. A BLK MAN WITH TONS OF FOLKS OF ALL COLORS WHO UNDERSTAND YOUR MESSAGE.

  • @Screamingdk Hey thx for the love homie I know that Oaktown has been destroyed by violence and no one even knows why they are killing each other. Keep your head up and spread the love. Peace

  • @kocho714 Beautiful statement

  • @kocho714 Black and brown people are the future of this country? Good one. I hope you're referring to Mexico, because the scumbags in the cells you refer to infiltrate the entire black and brown peoples, in and out of prison.

  • @Durlittle No I'm talking about America and trust me there is plenty of ignorant white people like you in those cells too!

  • @kocho714 The human race as a whole can't even unite, you think all the brown people are going to? Keep dreaming. You think you're at war with the white man, but you're really at war with yourselves while the civilized world passes you by, that's ignorant for you. Take responsibility for your own issues, stop wallowing in your self imposed segregation and you might get somewhere. There are brown people all around who lead happy lives because they aren't stuck with a victim mentality. Peace.

  • @Durlittle Well with your positive attitude im sure you;ll go far and my comment was about UNITY the white man was never mentioned nor was self imposed segregation are you even reading or just skimming and commenting? 'Thats ignorant for you' whatever the f that means!

  • @kocho714 ...You said a Mouthful Baby....That's Right...I Hate Division, it makes no sense

  • This song makes me wanna smoke some weed. They can't get you down when you're high.

  • beautiful song makes me think of a nice cholo friend i had when we were in Garfield High. too bad they killed him on a weekend. he let me borrow a cassette of barrio music and this song was the first on that cassette. I didn't have the chance of giving it back.RIP.

  • keep your head up!!! MEXICAN STYLE!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

  • Awesome Thank you :)

  • molto beneeeeee!

  • I luv this song

  • You should put the lyrics in the description!!

  • A great example of real multi-culturalism!

    Blacks, a Brit, and Lee Oscar of the Netherlands, in the band,

    and yet the biggest fan base, on west coast / Cal, was Mexicano -blasted from all the low riders rides- (no. I was not part that sceen, I was hitting the books.)

  • Firme rola

  • Oh yeah...happy birthday again pop. Hope they're treating you right in that big fat fukin party in the sky. Love ya man.

  • I have a very short playlist that I want played at my funeral.....and this is on it!!!

  • @ trunkrailroad, Amen & ain't that the truth.

  • I hope they play this at my funeral. One of the best songs from one of the best bands of all time, IMHO.

  • R.i.p dad.

  • MY GOOD FRIEND CLEO LAFARGA FROM SAN PEDRO, CA ALWAYS SANG THIS SONG TO ME WHEN HE SAW THE LOOK ON MY FACE WHEN I WOULD LET OTHERS GET TO ME. HE ALWAYS PICK MY SPIRITS UP AND LET ME KNOW HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. I LOVE AND MISS YOU MY FRIEND FOREVER . HE IS NOW IN HEAVEN AND IM SURE I WILL BE HOLDING HIM SOMEDAY

  • Lonnie, you're getting me down by not doing the right thing and reuniting with your OG brothers of WAR, THE LOWRIDER BAND. Remember them? The guys who made the WAR name big, not just you. So much for "why can't we be friends?".

  • My uncle Mando who this be?

  • This song reminds me of my family especially my grandparents. 1 this was one of my grandfather's favorite group, 2 this is one of many songs that would play on a sunny saturday of friday afternoon as my grandmother dusted her living room. They just don't make music on a grand scale like this anymore.

  • @danimaj78 - I agree completely, and I'm starting to think the reason new music sucks because it's created on a computer/beat machine/synthesizer. That's great for making comfortable roller coasters, but there's no real creativity or ingenuity in it. These guys used real instruments, real emotion, etc., they didn't fire the band in exchange for more money, a bigger name, and an altogether sanitized song.

  • best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Who would dislike this song ?

  • @105205010414  5 complete idiots ..

  • This is fucken firme!!!

  •  THIS ROLA

  • Don't let nobody get you down! Such a fantastic song! This tune needs to be re-shared with the world!

  • @GolonkaW512

    Re-released but not remade. Some things are better left untouched, if someone were to remake this they would have to bring it, commerical won't do.

  • i can almost cry listening to this shit

  • This song was played at my Unkle Mando's funeral. I always feel like he is talking to me through this song. Thanks for looking down on me Unkle.

  • Your uncle if its the same person was a great man

  • this song brings back such good memories of times when things were beautiful. people of all races got along and hung out without worrying if something bad was gonna happen. without judging each other but admiring each other's lowriders...

  • You know, this is the ONLY song that I've always been able to listen to and not associate a negative feeling with... Yeah, this is EASILY my favorite song of all time...And yes, I am a younger fella, this music is not lost on me...

  • I PLAY THIS WHEN I AM FEELING DOWN AND IT IS ONE OF MY RINGTONES ON MY CELL FONE. I WILL LUV THIS SONG FOREVER!

  • This was the very last song KRLA Los Angeles played before they signed off forever.. they said it was the most requested song. I miss KRLA playing them oldies all day and all night on my AM radio.

  • @broozebrothers i remember my mom used to listen to K-Orale (as she would call it) and we would make dedications and evrything....when I hear music like this it reminds me of all the good times. And a s for your comment, that's very interesting and a nice little tid bit of trivia. Rest in peace Mama.....gone but never forgotten...

  • NICE SONG...MY BROTHER DEDICATED THIS SONG TO ME AND MY 2 OTHER SISTERS...HES OUR ONLY BROTHER WE HAVE ...I MISS HIM SOO MUCH...:(

  • Man...youngsters barely finding out about this jam is great. I laugh when I see people JUST finding out about oldies. They have a life ahead of them and with oldies it will be that much better.

  • I finally found the artist name. I forgot about WAR..

  • This song has been on my mind for the LAST two days...

    I LOVE this song

  • This song reminds me of my cousins Toro, Enrique their soul rest in peace I miss my cousins.

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU'VE SEEN THIS GROUP AT THE SANTA MONICA PIER!!!

  • @luvnh8t, It's cool that you like WAR, but don't be fooled anymore by the NAME WAR, because they are NOT the original band WAR.  The OG's of WAR go by The LOWRIDER BAND now, because they are not OWNED by the loser that stole THEIR copywrites and WAR name. Don't miss out on the REAL OG's of WAR, The LOWRIDER BAND. Peace, WARQUEEN

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU SEE THIS GROUP AT THE SANTA MONICA PEAR!!!

  • Orale Raza!
