War

Multi-national R&B / Latin funk group, based in Los Angeles, California (USA). Evolved from a group of musicians previously known as The Creators, The Romeos, Señor Soul and Nightshift, playing the L.A. club circuit. They were discovered and promoted by Jerry Goldstein who linked up the musicians with frontman and vocalist Eric Burdon and harmonica player Lee Oskar Levitin. They released their first album in 1970. After Burdon departed in 1971, the group continued performing and recording as War. Eric Burdon & War came back together in 1976 for a final, third album.
