War - Summer

Uploaded by RakyMaky on Nov 28, 2009
One of the most popular funk groups of the '70s, War were also one of the most eclectic, freely melding soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole. Although War's lyrics were sometimes political in nature (in keeping with their racially integrated lineup), their music almost always had a sunny, laid-back vibe emblematic of their Southern California roots. War kept the groove loose, and they were given over to extended jamming -- in fact, many of their studio songs were edited together out of longer improvisations. Even if the jams sometimes got indulgent, they demonstrated War's truly group-minded approach: no one soloist or vocalist really stood above the others (even though all were clearly talented), and their grooving interplay placed War in the top echelon of funk ensembles.

i love this song the song by dr john called " i was in the right place" i think they came out around the same time.

Music was always the great common denominator, we owned WAR albums and Led Zeppelin albums back then, it was ALL good music. Unfortunately we now live in a world where activists, etc make sure there are no more common bonds between people.

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF A MUCH SIMPLER TIME WHEN I WAS KID AND THINGS WERE UNCOMPLICATED AND THE MUSIC WAS REAL . MY BLOOD PRESSURE JUST WENT DOWN 30 POINTS JUST BY HEARING THIS SONG..

I have rediscovered WAR after 35 years when these were original FM hits!! Gotta say it; they have become one of my top favorite bands again.... rhythm/ solos/melody/harmonies beyond compare....Forever in my heart now that i remember.
