I love Lee Oscar's great Chromatic Harmonica playing!!! I played harmonica with Lee Oscar & War, in 1980 at Parker's Restaurant in Seattle... I shocked the audience, when I got up on the stage & played with Lee Oscar's Harmonica, "Why Can't We Be Friends!" True, believe me, I'm Velva Hot Lips on the Harmonica!!!! From Seattle originally, now from Santa Fe, N. Mexico 3-14-16. I still love Lee Oscar's music the most!!! He is the best harmonica player ever!!! I miss you, Lee Oscar... Velva Merrick
+Velva Merrick , What a wonderful story, Velva. Today is Lee Oskar's 68th birthday. He still tours with original WAR bandmates, Howard Scott, Harold Brown, BB Dickerson as the Lowrider Band. They aren't "allowed" to use the WAR name they made famous as per their greedy producer, but they are still WAR to true WAR fans. You will find the Lowrider Band aka WAR at facebook.com/LowriderBand.
Internet facts and history brought me here ops ' i'm brazillian guy, age 22 live in a bad South of Brazil in brazil a mainstream never show this Diamonds to his population. desperate to learn harmonica, ask about Life i Have a contact with Jason Ricci, Will Wylde, Andrew Gussow, parents of Lil Jimmy Reed, i can say Internet changed our lifes ( now I'm not the worst player on the Earth jajaja ) Nice to meet you Velva ' now i Love you to i start to play a 15 weeks good vibes
Lee Oskar composed a masterpiece of a song. I typically don’t comment but this song is simply amazing, especially when you just have to wind down and relax.
Man this reminds me of my UNC back in the day when I was growing up as a lil boy. I remember my UNC trans am with a killer sound system. i remember him jamming this song when we cruised in his ride. Some dam good ol days man. Some good memories and I love this song. So dam mellow and chill.
As War was one of my favorite groups,I still remember having my cassette player,walking thru the airport,just back from Korea!! War,and Lee Oskar jammed back in the day!!!
Spent my really young years in california. Been in germany for 15 years. I still miss it when i hear music like this or when the sun hits the pavement in summer.

Been listening to Oskar since his album came out on vinyl - Starkite (moms influence on me). Oskar is the best harmonica player ever. Look up his song B.L.T. and listen to how high he gets that harmonica. Amazing talent.
+831 AMPS, I guess people don't realize that Lee Oskar is the original harmonica player for WAR, now called the Lowrider Band? You know, 'Lowrider', 'Why Can't We Be Friends?', 'Cisco Kid', 'Spill The Wine', 'Slippin' Into Darkness', 'The World Is A Ghetto' and 'So' much more. Lee Oskar still performs his solo music and still tours with the Lowrider Band at facebook.com/LowriderBand performing WAR music. Peace.
I love it that even my grand niece's and nephew's are raised with song's like this. Lee Oscar will always be a part of our Ohana music due to it was my older brother favorite artist as well he loved playing the harmonica. Im so amazed when I get to visit home in Hawai'i nei to see the lil one's enjoying this type of music. #Nanakuli96792E'A
This song would be nice for lumberjacks cutting down trees in the woodland, because when it's going down they just shout "Timber" cause you either have to dance or move out of the way, I mean even my Pitbull named Kesha likes it!.
According to Wikipedia, the record company got permission from someone, but not the songwriters. I'm far from a big hip-hop fan, but the Pitbull track is VERY catchy, while this just drags on and on...
i remember listening to this song when i was 5, with my dad and his loud a ss speakers. no ke$ha songs. just the plain song. what a great vibe to this day
so the kesha song didnt sample the track but rather interpolated san francisco bay and he got a writing credit (and money, if you know what a writing credit means).
Thank you Lee Oskar & band for such up lifting music!!! I wake up early & play Lee Oskar music & continue to listen to it all day long... I even jam with my Chromatic Harmonica!!! Velva Hot Lips on the Harmonica 4-1-16... Please come to Santa Fe, N. Mexico where I live... I could arrange a night club where you could perform! Believe me...
First time hearing this and it sure sounds like classically good music. The recently announced lawsuit against sony music (owns Kesha pitbull Timber) by the song writers has a valid case and point. Sony better pay em the $3M they are suing for. Greedy controlling record label pigs. Too bad they can sneeze up 3 mill like nothing. Should have sued for at least 50.
Great Song!!! To everyone complaining about Pitbull: Sampling is a technique that's used in the music biz since several decades. It's like recycling: Creating somethin new out of old things. Sure, Pitbull's music is pure shit, but there are a lot of people who make good music with the technique of sampling

Yes... Sadly, it often happens that largely listened commercial music uses good music from past and many people doesn't know the existence of original tracks. But when you know them, that's great :D !
Filip Trajanovski Indeed that's not a sample. I just meant that many actual songs are just easy copy or sampling of old songs, just for money. When it's sampled it's even worse :D
The point is that sampling CAN be good when someone who does it - knows what he is doing. Tragedy starts when it`s all about the money and using a sample is the only one thing in a whole idea, without any creativity from maker himself.

2022 and still enjoying
Timber: Who are you?
San Francisco Bay: I'm you, but stronger.
Wow damn this is a great song. Props to pitbull and ke$ha for reviving this little known classic!
A neighbor played this early in the morning, waking me up. Never had such a pleasant wake up because someone decided to blast music.
I used to listen to this album for the whole day without getting board in any way. Timeless pieces I must say
Ma$e sampled this first and sped it up with no harmonica for his song, all I ever wanted.back in the 90s. Both great tracks.
first time hearing... and im in love. i just hate the fact i keep hearing ke$ha saying "Timber"
I WAS BORN IN SAN FRAN raised in the MISSION DIST had alot of good times LUV LEE OSKAR SOUND N STYLE steve venegas
As War was one of my favorite groups,I still remember having my cassette
player,walking thru the airport,just back from Korea!! War,and Lee Oskar
jammed back in the day!!!
Had it not been for sampling, most of you would have never found this beautiful song.
Steve Oquendo that's right -- here I am
Steve Oquendo who sampled this? thank you.
The Home Plate Special mase all I ever wanted and pitbull timber
Daniel Wright thank you!
Get over it
Mass All I ever wanted owes everything to this awesome melody. So happy to find the original
1986년 종로2가 카페에서 듣고 홀딱
좋아한 노래!
I loved this in the seventies. Still love it.
It has been 30 years ago.
Time was so fast.
Can’t go back.
But I got the memory for my young!!
Thank you 4 uploading this gem.
This song was created in 1978!!!
Evet.
Right here for Pablo ❤️
Lee Oskar was something else. This song lingered in my mind for a very long time. The chorus is unbelievable.
The new GX1000 video brought me here
Spent my really young years in california. Been in germany for 15 years. I still miss it when i hear music like this or when the sun hits the pavement in summer.
GX1000 video bought me here lol
A million people in San Francisco

Hey la la la la da da hey hey

La la la la da da hey hey
It's San Francisco's way
La la la la da da hey hey
San Francisco bay
Go to a nightclub drinking all up
They hate to go home
But they got to get up
Drive to the country Sunday afternoons
Get the kids up early
So they'll get 'em up for school
La la la la da da hey hey
It's San Francisco bay
In the morning they roll away to folk
Round up the hookers
And stolen cars and stray dogs
Hey hey, it's San Francisco's ways
Hey hey, San Francisco bay
A million people in San Francisco
A million people I don't really know
(I like to know)
Nine hundred thousand doing 9 to 5
A hundred thousand staying up all night
The city's ways on San Francisco Bay
La la la la da da, everyone plays
the San Francisco's way
La la la la da da
The city's ways on San Francisco Bay
Everyone plays
the San Francisco's way
The city's ways on San Francisco Bay
San Francisco Bay
Been listening to Oskar since his album came out on vinyl - Starkite (moms influence on me). Oskar is the best harmonica player ever. Look up his song B.L.T. and listen to how high he gets that harmonica. Amazing talent.

this song is soooo good by its own. It deserves a revival! Srcew that sampled shit, this is awesome as it is!
Such a heavy groove...im diggin it!
I'm I the only one who thinks timber is sampled from this?
Mase All I ever wanted - genius move to sample this classic
I love it that even my grand niece's and nephew's are raised with song's like this. Lee Oscar will always be a part of our Ohana music due to it was my older brother favorite artist as well he loved playing the harmonica.

Old Skool , so many people don’t even know ! Some of the best times in my life to this music ( happy places )
Happy New Years! Good vibes listening to sick jams into 2021!
This song would be nice for lumberjacks cutting down trees in the woodland, because when it's going down they just shout "Timber" cause you either have to dance or move out of the way, I mean even my Pitbull named Kesha likes it!.
RIGHT HERE FOR PABLO 😤❤️
Speed the beginning of the song up to 1.5x and the riff sounds exactly like Timber by Pitbull/Kesha. They had permission to use it.
Or Mase 'All I ever wanted'
Josh Mckinnley no he didn't have permission he got sued for this lol he had to pay 3 million
According to Wikipedia, the record company got permission from someone, but not the songwriters. I'm far from a big hip-hop fan, but the Pitbull track is VERY catchy, while this just drags on and on...
Take the first 45 seconds, speed it up to 1.5x, loop it, write shit lyrics over it for a hook: DONE
K E S H A
more like 1.25x
Well said
Lee Oskar needs some royalty money! 🏦💰💸
That's a nice sampling though.
i remember listening to this song when i was 5, with my dad and his loud a ss speakers. no ke$ha songs. just the plain song. what a great vibe to this day
Same here. I'm 32 now. Still listening
@@christophensauve5899 that's what true legends do.
so the kesha song didnt sample the track but rather interpolated san francisco bay and he got a writing credit (and money, if you know what a writing credit means).
Thank you Lee Oskar & band for such up lifting music!!! I wake up early & play Lee Oskar music & continue to listen to it all day long... I even jam with my Chromatic Harmonica!!! Velva Hot Lips on the Harmonica 4-1-16... Please come to Santa Fe, N. Mexico where I live... I could arrange a night club where you could perform! Believe me...
From the bay ....just heard this dec 2019 .....wow....beautiful....coming from somebody who loves and absorbs music.......wow

Lee Oskar gives tribute to a shining, iconic American major city that no longer exists as he knew it in 1971. The city today is one giant porta potty.
Beautiful song 2020
Glad that is the original music, not the Pitbull Timber from 2013.
Gx brought me here
I heard this song in the early 90s glad to hear it getting recognized on TikTok
i just sped it up by 5 times and it sounds even "more" better haha.
Views before “RIGHT HERE FOR PABLO” : 365,765.

stcost27 no problem with sampling just give the guy his royalties
AH ok, then i agree 100%!
stcost27 yeah bro, its called plunderphonics, like Dj Shadow and the Avalanches, but Pitbull IS SHIT
A lot of music of Pittbull are Rip Offs
stcost27
Except pitbull uses sampling for almost every song. I know sometimes you can’t use your own beat but that’s kinda pathetic.

Great song. Speed up the music only and it sounds just like Timber by Kesha and Pitbull. We’re going down we’re going timber in San Francisco.
Timber!!! :o sam esong but they sped it up lol
Yes... Sadly, it often happens that largely listened commercial music uses good music from past and many people doesn't know the existence of original tracks. But when you know them, that's great :D !
That's actually not the case here. They did take the melody from this song but they hired a guy to play it, they didn't sample the actual song
Just watch "Gdzieś już to słyszałem#26" a.s.o ;)
Greetz;)
Filip Trajanovski Indeed that's not a sample. I just meant that many actual songs are just easy copy or sampling of old songs, just for money. When it's sampled it's even worse :D
The point is that sampling CAN be good when someone who does it - knows what he is doing. Tragedy starts when it`s all about the money and using a sample is the only one thing in a whole idea, without any creativity from maker himself.
