Edwin Starr lip-synched the classic song “War” in 1969. Good God, y’all. Originally recorded by The Temptations, their version was squelched and re-recorded with Starr on vocals. It made No.1 on the charts in 1970, and was one of 161 songs on the Clear Channel no-play list after September 11, 2001 according to Wiki.
Nobody wants war except our enemies, and to ignore their stated intents and stated goals is fatal. Seems to me that if they want to kill all of us, all Jews, all of Western Civilization, we’re going to have a very long fight.
Eric Burdon & WAR was awesome.
Seasick Steve jams pure awesome swamp rock with an electric Diddley Bow.
That’ll do it for today. Have a great weekend folks.
Thanks. Well that’s woken me up good and proper! Great stuff! Often forgotten how fine a singer Eric Burdon can be. Look forward to many return visits here. Regards Thom.

Thom– Thanks for the kudos. Each week we post “The Saturday Matinee” consisting of UToobage of old or obscure music vids – no videos of turntables – it’s an eclectic mix. I suppose you could comb our Music category and find a bunch of fun oddities, too. Anything that keeps my attention for more than 15 seconds usually makes the cut. Have at it, and lift whatever suits “The Immortal Jukebox.”
