Re: Musical Tastes
I was listening to Dan Bongino today and he was saying how the LIbs love starting wars now. They can't wait to pulverize Russia and Putin..He was musing how this was a complete reversal of the anti-war left.
Dan tried to re-work this next song to fit the Lib's agenda..Then he said he didn't even know who sang the original...
If you didn't know, you will in a minute ;-)
"War" is a counterculture era soul song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for the Motown label in 1969. Whitfield first produced the song – an obvious anti–Vietnam War statement – with The Temptations as the original vocalists. After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release "War" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, with the label deciding to withhold the Temptations' version from single release so as not to alienate their more conservative fans. Starr's version of "War" was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970, and is not only the most successful and well-known record of his career, but it is also one of the most popular protest songs ever recorded. It was one of 161 songs on the no-play list issued by Clear Channel following the events of September 11, 2001.
