In 1969, my father, Harold Ray Brown, took the stage as the drummer for Eric Burdon and War on “The Della Reese Show.” This performance featured dynamic renditions of “Tobacco Road,” “Bright Lights, Big City” (a memorable duet with Della Reese), and “Mystery Train.” This appearance not only highlighted the band’s unique fusion of rock, funk, and soul but also marked a significant moment in their early television history. #EricBurdon #WarBand #TobaccoRoad
