This song changed my taste in music. I started listening to a lot of funk for a while.

I loved that band.....

Me too.

There is still an incarnation of the band War today. Lead by original member Lonnie Jordan (Keyboardist/Vocalist). Saw them about 10 years ago at a local Memorial Day Blues Festival. They're are scheduled to be there again this coming Memorial weekend, and I'll be there too!
