Eric Burdon & War

Multi-national R&B/Funk/Latin group, based in Los Angeles, California.
Evolved from a group of musicians previously known as “The Creators”, the “Romeos”, “[a=Señor Soul]” and “Nightshift”, and who played the L.A. club circuit. They were discovered and promoted by [a=Jerry Goldstein] who linked up the musicians with frontman and vocalist [a=Eric Burdon] and harmonica player [a=Lee Oskar]. In 1970 they released their first album, “Eric Burdon Declares War”. After Burdon departed in 1971, the group continued performing and recording as [a=War].
