Original video of Edwin Starr singing his famous song: "War" [Original Music video from 1969]
Originally written under the Motown label, and first performed by The Temptations, "War" was later re-released as a single with Edwin Starr as vocals. This version is considered a more emotional version and has become the most popular protest song ever.
Lyrics:
War, huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, oh hoh, oh
War huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again y'all
War, huh good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives
I said
War, huh good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, just say it again
War whoa Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Oh war, is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction, then destruction who wants to die
War, good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
War, uh huh, yeah, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, war has shattered many young man's dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life it can only take it away, ooh
War, huh, good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding tell me
Is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
War, huh, good God y'all
What is it good for?
You tell 'em, say it, say it, say it, say it
War, good Lord, huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it, nothing
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker

Always loved this song! It really captured how most people in America felt during the Vietnam War. When I first heard this song in 1970, I was recovering in an army hospital at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Twenty years-old and going through multiple surgeries, and 8 months in recovery because of the wounds I received in Vietnam while serving with the United States army in December of 1969. 58,000 young Americans dead for what? As Edwin Starr says: "NUTHIN'" The government lied to us about the Vietnam War and they continue to lie to us today to keep us in perpetual war. You young people of today: Don't let our government sucker you into a military draft and war like they did to us during the Vietnam era!

I lost contact with him years ago and I truly hope he got rid of his demons. What a waste of a life. Be well, safe and peace to you and yours.

@H.L.-fj6zd Месяц назад

Edwin Starr’s military service in the United States Army was for three years, where he was posted mostly in Europe. -The biggest hit of Starr's career, which cemented his reputation, was the Vietnam War protest song "War" (1970).[1] Starr's intense vocals transformed a Temptations album track into a number one chart success, which spent three weeks in the top position on the U.S. Billboard charts, an anthem for the antiwar movement and a cultural milestone that continues to resound in movie soundtracks. -Starr remained a hero on England's northern soul circuit and moved to England in 1983, continuing to live there for the remainder of his life. He based himself in the English Midlands, living for many years at Pooley Hall at Polesworth, Warwickshire, before moving to Bramcote in Nottinghamshire.

And yet here we are on the brink of another war. We learn nothing as a species.

Rest in Peace, Edwin Your music and wisdom will live on forever. Shame on the disservice this video does to him with the unfixed phase distortions left in this masterpiece.

even after all these years, the words in that song still rings true today, those words are as strong now as they have ever been, my grandad was a ww2 vet, and one of my uncles was a Vietnam vet, so to all you vets out there, thankyou from one grateful American, thankyou for my freedom, my right to choose, freedom isn't free, you will always have my support...PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best and most truthful songs ever published. NO ONE performs it better. Unfortunately, war IS sometimes necessary. But only those who profit from the war machine win. And they ARE NOT going to get involved in the dying or injured part of war. They just get richer.

The lyrics are as relevant today (if not more so) than they were then :-(

@@dmelton37 or the war on the non-criminal cops who have done nothing wrong 🤷‍♂️ (not justifying the actions of certain officers such as those who killed George Floyd but this has turned into a war on the police state none the less)

Rest in Power, Barrett Strong. He co-wrote this classic with Norman Whitfield. Barrett died today (Jan. 29, 2023); Norman passed away in 2008. They co-wrote other classics, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)," "Smiling Faces Sometimes," and so many more.
