War (originally called Eric Burdon and War) is an American funk/soul/rock band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1969.
The band is known for several hit songs in the 1970s (including "Spill the Wine", "The World Is a Ghetto", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", and "Summer"). A musical crossover band, War became known for its eclectic blend of different musical styles, an amalgam of the sounds and styles the band members heard living in the racially diverse ghettos of Los Angeles.
Their album The World Is a Ghetto was Billboard's best-selling album of 1973. The band transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic lineup. War was subject to many lineup changes over the course of its existence, leaving member Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan as the only original member in the current lineup; four other members created a new group called the Lowrider Band.

Eric Burdon & War - The Black Man's Burdon [2CD] (1970)

Year: December 1970 (CD 1986)
Label: Far Out Productions, Inc. (Germany), 827 736-2
Style: Psychedelic Rock, Funk
Country: Long Beach, California, U.S.
Time: 44:43, 45:59
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz

The Black-Man's Burdon is the second studio album and first double album by American band Eric Burdon and War, released in December 1970 on MGM Records. It was the last album by the group before Burdon left and the remaining band continued as War.
The title is a pun on The Black Man's Burden, an expression which refers to black slavery, used as the title of a book by E. D. Morel (1920) in response to the poem, "The White Man's Burden" (1899) by Rudyard Kipling, which refers to (and champions) western imperialism (including its history of slavery).
The album includes two suites based on songs by other artists: "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones, and "Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues, augmented by additional sections composed by the group. (Two similar suites appeared on the group's first album.) The extra material is mostly instrumental, except for "P.C. 3" (P.C. referring to Police Constable, a common abbreviation used in the United Kingdom), a risque poem recited (and probably written) by Burdon over the music. Two other songs include a gospel-style chorus credited as Sharon Scott and the Beautiful New Born Children of Southern California. Richie Unterberger of Allmusic says the album is "Composed mostly of sprawling psychedelic funk jams" and "it does find War mapping out much of the jazz/Latin/soul grooves...".
The front cover shows a black man in silhouette, while the back cover shows Burdon and a woman posed together: the woman sitting on a wall with her legs spread far apart, and Burdon (shirtless) resting the back of his head against her pelvis and gripping her ankles. The gatefold photo is somewhat risque, consisting of the group (mostly shirtless) in a field with two nude women lying in the grass.
The album also came with a numbered 7–inch by 3–inch "war bond" entitling the bearer to $1 off the admission of any War concert.

Eric Burdon (The Animals) - Survivor (1978)

Year: 1978 (CD ????)
Label: Polydor Records (????), 2310 577
Style: Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Classic Rock
Country: Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne, England (11 May 1941)

With 8 out 10 numbers credited to Zoot Money (17 July 1942 – 8 September 2024) & Eric Burdon what you have here is a good time Rock n Roll recording with a hoard of artists. With the exception of Hollywood woman, Eric's voice is in fine form, backed by many including Maggie Bell, coming out strong on woman of the rings. Many good time rock n roll guitarists all over this release including Alexs Korner, whom together with Eric revisit their roots and perform a stand out track, Brownie Mcghee's I was born to live the blues, the only non RnR number on this release. This album is definitely up there with rock n roll releases of the Seventies.
