"Low Rider” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B singles chart on Nov. 22, 1975. The song also peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 29, 1975, and remained on the chart for a total 15 weeks.
More than 50 years after its release, “Low Rider” remains the ultimate anthem for cruising and ‘70s custom car culture.
“We’d just jam for ages and record everything,” he recalled. “'Low Rider' came along in the middle of maybe an hour and a half of playing: we took a piece that became the song. Charles Miller sang the lead vocal. He walked into the studio, sat down, had a bottle of tequila, salt and a lemon, listened to the track and started singing in a low voice.”

“This is the way we wrote,” he explained. “We have tracks and ideas. And then we would just make records out of 'em. And a lot of times they were written in the studio. … I never re-recorded any of this stuff. I always made the original jam work. You know, it’s more organic that way. And that's why it's so raw.”
“We gave cassettes to the lowriders and they all played it in their cars,” Jordan told The Guardian. “As soon as it got played on the radio, the Latin community sent it up the charts, then off it rocketed and nothing was going to stop it.”
Pop culture classic
At the 2007 Alma Awards, Lopez referred to “Low Rider” as the “Chicano National anthem” as he introduced War to the stage.
