my mom gave me and my brother a dollar each and said we could go to the record store (remember those?) and buy whatever song we wanted. 45s cost 99 cents back then. my brother bought love rollercoaster and i bought this!!! i still have it 45 years later!!!
Yes, I remember thumbing thru singles & albums in the record store, usually some shabby place with the greatest music around And I'd say you & your brother both got your money's worth!....
I was 10 yrs old when this played on the radio. I was in 5th grade in Santa Anna California. Lot's of Low Riders in my neighborhood. We would go to the Drive in Theater across from my Elementary school and watch cool movies 1975! I'm 56 now.
Well met, fellow old skool person! I'm no spring chicken either, but you know what?! Bollocks to all that, and just in the spirit of solidarity, I too am going to grab my pipe, pile it high and sod it, you only live once! Bottoms up!! 😎
Best driving song ever, I'm 64 years old and I crank it up and lower the windows and my wife says grow up" she doesn't feel the Timbales and congas and bass.
I hear that "grow up" also every now and then. (preferable after a little smoke...) I do not know, why wifes say that, they should be glad not to have an old man on their side.
I taught high school art for 37 years - whenever this song came on the radio or the internet, the kids would sing along - no matter what year it was - 1985 - 1995 - 2005 - 2015. GREAT SONG!!!
This song reminds me of my best friend who had a low voice that sounded like the lead singer of this song. I think of him often he passed away at 28 from cancer. I played this at my wedding in his honor.
Sorry for your loss. The cancers they slip into our food, water, air and medicines is aiding and abetting murder at the least. Cancer kills more than Covid, yet we should trust doctors who hide the cures to give us vaccines? Talk about insanity..... My son had cancer when he was 7. He barely survived their "cure". Most doctors are sadists with no SINCERE respect for any life.
Oh how I loved this song & the whole album & still do! I’m 69 & this was one of my first albums I bought that I saved my allowance for. My Dad used to ask me if he could borrow it to practice drumming to. He was a musician. He knew good music too. ❤
Low Rider , Cisco Kid and We Can’t We Be Friends? were part of my boyhood memories. WAR was and still is one of the greatest bands. Period. They were a band that was all about the music. Ego was not included.
Heavy into Desegrigation it's serious people . This quarantine has put me in my car. I lived in Cali back in the day.Pomona E School Roosevelt everyday I had to fight just because I'm white.them boys seemed to hate me.I felt a little better when the school Coach took us all to Dodger Stadium. Many times we all went there and did not fight me or talk stupid..to make it all happen:War
When first saw "Up in Smoke" the moment Ceech comes out the house and the track came while he gets in the car, the perfect song and the perfect moment. I live in the South Side of Tucson in the late 70s, the low riders were everywhere...
I know I heard of them " WAR," and, heard their songs. Never listened enough to remember the band was "WAR," My Uncle Mike and Aunt Helen liked them; I was born in 1965.
White guy 63 grew up in East LA in the 60s. All my friends knew the lowrider! This song would be heard EVERY time I stepped outside. "Take a little trip, take a little trip, take a little trip with me" So I did. 45 minutes laters and we went around the same block 3 times! And yeah, the car had the little bobble head dog facing out the rear window! It even had a little fabric headband!
Most people don’t know that the rhythm is played with a harmonica. The guy who’s playing it is named Lee Oscar. Hohner Harmonicas made a signature series with a plastic body making them the easiest and least painful to play for long periods.
I really appreciate your comment. I had a chance to see War with the B-52's in Up State New York the Summer of 81. I was visiting my Aunt and Uncle who had a house on Lake Mahopac. My cousins were little. I should have talked em into getting a Babysitter that night! On the serious side of Time Travel, check out Andrew Basiago on RUclips. Particularly Project Pegasus and the Chronovisor (developed by a Priest at the Vatican)
Ahhh this song is so awesome, that even almost 50 years later, it has that feel good value as you drive, and makes you smile, top song of all time from L.A.
To my baby girl....... You make jamming with very cool & fun, even though your a adult now, dont let the tunes get away from you... This music is a good place to come to today, tommorrow, next week, and to other moms out there unconditional love goes far....... YOUR BLOOD..... They are your heart beats !!!!!!!
1975 - graduated high school, turned 18, summer of 75 was a blast Love this song and all WAR recorded. Play it for the kids on my team to let them know we had "THE Music" back in the day!
His lead vocal is wonderful such a deep voice that commands attention! R.I.P. Charles William Miller 6/2/39 ~ 6/4/80, he also plays the sax on this here banger of a song! ♥️🎧♥️
its called what it is so thats just has to be some funky grooves its so far out it was out of site it was groovy tunes cruzin the strip down town blvd and the to smooth the groove hollywood and sunset
I remember hearing this on the jukebox one lunchtime in the Kelly Arms in Surbiton with my new 1975 Triumph T160 Trident parked outside. I went home with a lovely Spanish girl whose name I can't remember. We heard it again on the radio while we got to know each other in the afternoon. Happy days.😊
I was 8yrs old when my elder Brother of 20yrs brought this Album home...I Loved every Song...he would let me play it over & over...but I was Mystified by the Cover...I would study it for hours and found New things everytime... something that always stuck with me❣
WOW, this was the groove back in the 70's awesome 👍😍🎼 ALOHA from Hawaii 🌺 mahalo nui Braddahh 🤙😎🤣🇺🇸 loving it!! Oooooommmmiiiiii on the beach hanging out! Awesome 👍😊🎼🎶🎼 ALOHA from Hawaii 🌺😎 Braddahh.
One of the greatest songs to open a movie ever!!! Remember Cheech Marin checking out his ride in Up in Smoke after waking up on a friends couch after a hard night partying!
The feeling of a whole generation is hidden in this song! So tasteful, so mature! Wow! Those days we didn't know what we had for a luck to be part of that garden of eden! We rode so low!❤️❤️❤️
That's the year I would have graduated but in 10th grade my teacher told me if I had $250,000 ignorant country with educated me what country do I live in this country is no good they like taking advantage of their own people especially when they tell you they won't educate you just sick evil world
I had a 53 chevy lifted when this came out and would blast it cruzin the Main but the best album they made was All Day Music s all the songs meld into one another making it a solid gotta play the whole album thing always reminds me of the summer time back home in Richmond Calif
I just realized this is almost 9 minutes long.... not long enough. One of the funkiest sounds of all time. Right up there with James Gang's "Funk 49" and The Spinners' "Rubber Band Man".
My Covid Blues were away taken by this awesome classic, and a little Jack helped...Peace and stay Smart. This shit aint over yet, be Cautious People...
It was late October 1975 my first day to drive my first car to school in the 11th grade. 1964 Pontiac Catalina. At lunch time some friends and I cruised around the school and turned on the AM radio and this song was on and then we rolled down the windows, cranked up the 20 amp radio and leaned low in the seat and drove slowly and enjoyed every beat of the song! And I can still remember it as vividly as it was just the other day!
I grew up in East Tacoma, Washington ... can't get much blacker than that place... I really loved the Rythem and Blues music and Motown Sound, even had a few Bee Gees albums with my Tavares and Earth Wind & Fire. Music helped me through the 70's
I remember in the early to mid 90's my cousins had low rider trucks. We'd Cruise down Whittier BLVD in Eastlos Cali.. The best days ever.. My Uncles and Dad would Cruise back in the Days like late 60's early 70's..
Ahh.. This song always reminds my of my wayward youth of 1967, cruising up & down Colorado Blvd. in Glendale, California in my 1950 Ford, it was lowered, with a “chain” steering wheel & painted candy blue. I was 17 years old & having a blast. Then I got drafted, & while I was in Vietnam, my damn dad sold my car! To this day I’m still in mourning, for the car, not my dad. lol
