I was born in 1970. I got to experience the end of the 60's, grades k thru 6 in the 70's then best of all. My teens in the 80's.. I graduated highschool in 1988. I got to experience it all. From hippies, to disco, to punk, to new wave, glam rock in 1984, break dancing and then the birth of hip-hop..I saw it all...and proud of it!!!!
I truly feel like i missed my era. Im 27, but my soul is rooted in the 70s. I'm too cool for these youngsters 😎 My dad graduated high school in 1974. Me and him are the best of friends.
Listening to this song, jam takes me back to the early 1970s, more than most! I'm unable to dream apparently due to a stroke, that left me prematurely retired as a pediatrician and permanently disabled, but if I was able to dream I would love to have one with me playing my sax in such a wonderful band, as I was a sax player prior to going into medicine.
I was 12 when I bought 'Ghetto. War, Steely Dan, early Rod & Elton, and many other artists in the late '60's/early 70's produced some of the greatest music ever. I am reminded that had it not been for FM's coming of age during this era, we might never have been blessed with this music due to the length of the songs. WABB FM Mobile AL.
I'm so very thankful that The Most High God blessed Frankie to be around us to share his smooth and soulful MUSIC with us as long as he did. Well done Frankie; may God bless you.
I Remember growing up listening to this group my uncle used to have Musical Instruments 🎸🎺🎹🥁 and Me and my other Siblings would go and Imitate them on Weekends good Memories 💓🎵🎼💓🎼🎵💓
To all the WATTS babies, If this one didn't send chills down your arm and spine then you ain't no friend of mine! WATTS all the way UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 1st dance on this song at a birthday in 1967. I was ten years old 5th grade. My 1st crush. This will always be our song. Michael just passed away about 2 months ago. This is our song. Rest in Peace❤
@@timsullivan67nah man, Sublime built off reggae and whatever Bradley wanted to talk about. They were good and all. I really liked them, but they werent original in the way that WAR was/is original. They were an infusion of reggae/hip hop/punk/rock which was very enjoyable and cool. But I couldn't call it original like WAR
I heard years ago Bob Marley got the inspiration for "Get Up, Stand Up" from hearing War perform this when they toured together. Here, War pays homage back to him.
WAR and Tower of Power both my favorites from back in the day. I cant watch them anymore bc the original ban members pretty much all gone. Its like watching cover bands now. Is it really WAR when only Lonnie Jordan is the only member left? Alway remember them as they were, really miss them all, especially Charles Miller and his Sax! Hope we see them all in Paradise playing for us again.
True! But they're tight here. I aint mad. The World is a Ghetto... So... They Can't Take Away Our Music... cuz the... Cisco Kid... is still a... Low Rider... rollin down... Tobacco Road... in... City Country City... In Mazatlan... or on... Magic Mountain. Just... Spill the Wine... bang the... WAR Drums... and... Don't Let No One Get You Down. Son Oh Son... Why Can't We Be Friends? lol OK I know that was corny but I couldn't resist. 🙃
In the 70's IUsed to drive around with MY Oldest Brothers they are gone now but not the memories in Kingsburg California with the Fine touch Car Club those days were great Love all my 8 Brothers AlsovRay Roy and Gilbert I know u are listening to it now rest in peace my wonderful Brothers Love ya
OMG ! 😮;This is the first time , I'm hearing WAR and the Tower of Power playing together.😮OMG I can't get off the floor!! You Guys are Awesome!!! the music is out of this World .....!!!!! Oooh Baby !!! I grew up with boths group !!! I Love you Guys Soooooo SOoooooh much !!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I'm going to listen to this song every day !!!Love the Music Ahhhhhh its fantastic !!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Enjoy! I grew up back in the 70's listening to War and many others and watched them live. This was back when everyone was making original creative music. Real music and real musicians. From the soul funk bands, rock bands, and latin sounds coming out of California and New York City. A different world now.
Great memories back THEN and NOW retired innFL in 2024. Got your cd in my pickup now..This 70 years young at heart lafdy LOVES music. Keep up the great work😮😅
My dad (65) saw WAR live ...his friends parents wanted to see what all the ruckus was about.. about 30 min into the concert they left.. nothing but Marijuana smoke and a good time
I knew these guys well. I personally knew both Milton and Gary Blaylock. At that time they living on Oak Hill Ave. and was living on Cohasset drive. They helped our very young band called "Electrik Water" get our first "Reeds Arena" gig. I've never forgotten those brothers.
Wow🎉🎉this is a really clean performance! Loved every second of it! Seen this band in concert more than anyone else in my life! I seen a few members change, but u still got it❤
I always liked her music. This is the first of her earlier music I've heard. Her voice is so raw, amazing, rich, and so soulful. Definitely one of my favorites!💖
I heard her sing this for the first time in my teens! It was on my favorite show at the time with Robert Wagner?" It takes a Thief"Fell in love with this woman back then😅
I remember when this song came out. Always had a connection to it, but never heard it like this! Woke up my spirit. I feel this down in my bones! The lead guitar...don't make 'em like that anymore. When we had real musicians!
Being that (I) consider myself a expert on all things Luther Vandross... Bravo 👏🏿 You Lutherized a Luther Song that was absolutely amazing and Fantastic❣️ 🤜🏿🤛🏿💯💪🏿
It's POPPIN Because THAT'S REAL MUSIC !!!!
Right on!!!
Sanctity

Where's all my War fans at !!!! ❤😊

Thanks to all my War fans !!! Keep on jamming ❤😊
Damn, it's 10/2024 and this song is taking me back to the 70s!!! Lonnie J still sounds fantastic! Chills and goosebumps!!! Real music...🎶♥
Beautiful memories for those of us that grew up listening to them 💟✝️☮️

Hands down- Hall of Famers - Couldn’t have had the 70’s without the righteous, funky groove of our favorite band at our Chicano parties! 🎉
Agreed 1000%
Ok @@nmar7512
So are we saying they aren't in the hall of fame? such an amazing band, made my teen years, adult years, and now senior years...
@@deniseavila1190 haha..our Chicano parties playing records in the day, parting and slow dancing with your honey!
😎🎤🎶🎹🎸 old school awesome memories who can ever forget those good old days
This song was my grandmother’s favorite song in 1974, she used to listen to it on her way to church!

Drummer’s killing it. What a band/artist.
One of my favorite bands from the 70s…
love them… “Slipping into Darkness‼️”
La mía también tengo 73 años
Having a bad sit down for a few minutes, listen to smile happy you'll feel better
THEY ALWAYS BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN,,,POWER HOUSE BAND,,,CLASS OF 1973 HERE,,,JUST A UNBELIEVABLE TIME OF MUSIC,,,🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🎶🎸🍻🍻

It couldn't have been 1967. The song didn't come out until the 70's
A TRUE ORIGINATOR OF SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN OR EVER BE DUPLICATED,💯👍❤️
Sublime came close though and took what they did and grew it!
That part. Not many artist can say that!

Saw Tower of Power in 74 at a free concert on the Wellesley College campus. It was life changing!!!❤
@@susand2008 That is awesome! A big regret for me is that I did not see TOP and WAR back in their heyday! Best decade for all music!
