Description:
“War” by Edwin Starr is a searing protest anthem released in 1970 on Gordy Records, a Motown imprint. With Starr’s impassioned vocals and The Funk Brothers’ explosive backing, the track delivers one of soul music’s most powerful anti-war statements — punctuated by the unforgettable refrain, “War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!”

The song became a defining soundtrack of the Vietnam era and remains a cultural touchstone of protest and resistance. It has been featured in the TV series Tour of Duty and films such as Rush Hour and Jarhead, and its defiant energy continues to echo through covers and reinterpretations.

“War” endures as one of the fiercest and most iconic expressions of political soul ever recorded.
