War!!

This eclectic band put out some amazing stuff during their decades-long career (they still perform today) but their work from the early 70s is arguably some of their finest.   Starting with Eric Burdon and War’s 1970 semi-hit “Spill the Wine”, they put together a string a great records over the next several years.   The music is tight, funky and features soaring soulful vocals from the whole band.   Check out this live performance of the title track from 1973′s “Me and Baby Brother” LP to see the band in their prime.
