Lonnie Jordan: podcast appearances and interviews

Leroy Lonnie Jordan, born on November 21, 1948, in San Diego, is an American musician and a founding member of the funk band War. Over the years, he has taken on multiple roles within the group, serving as a vocalist and playing guitar, piano, synthesizer, and percussion. Jordan was among the earliest members to join War after its formation, which was previously known as the Creators and Nightshift before adopting the name War. He remains the group's only original member still active with the band. In addition to his work with War, Jordan has pursued solo recording projects, releasing music with MCA in 1977 and Boardwalk in 1982. His collaborations extend to performances with artists such as Eric Burdon, Tanya Tucker, T. Rex, and Los Lobos. Jordan also recorded with two other members of War, Harold Brown and B. B. Dickerson, on a record titled The Other Side of War which featured guitarist Bobby Womack, and was released on Soufflé Records. While four other members split from the original lineup to form the Lowrider Band, Jordan continues to be associated with the legacy of War. In 2017, he contributed as a co-writer and vocalist to three tracks on Alex Puddu's album From the Beginning, including the songs Runaway Boys, Nobody, and Stormy Weather.
