Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan (born November 21, 1948 in San Diego, California) was a founding member of War, an American funk band in the 1970s and 1980s. Jordan had a number of roles over the years, acting as vocalist and playing guitar, piano, synthesizer, and percussion. He was among the first three people to join the group after its inception, having joined before the group adopted the name "War" (it had previously been known as "the Creators" and "Nightshift").
Jordan recorded as a solo artist with United Artists in 1976 and Boardwalk in 1982. He has also recorded with Eric Burdon. Jordan also made a record with two members of War, Harold Brown and B.B. Dickerson, "The Other Side of War Warms Your Heart" on Soufflé Records, which featured Bobby Womack on Guitar. He is the only current member of War remaining from the original lineup. His manager, Jerry Goldstein, kicked out the other four members in a protracted legal battle who now tour as the Lowrider Band. Jerry won the "War" but lost the battle, leaving Lonnie to fight a "War" with transplanted members instead of the originals.
