War (originally Eric Burdon & War) is an American funk band founded in 1969.
Had hits with Low rider, Spill the wine, The Cisco kid, and The world is a ghetto.
They are a multi-ethnic line-up with a diverse styles of music i.e. funk, jazz, Latin, R&B, and reggae.
The band's goal was to spread a message of harmony and brotherhood.
Eric Burdon left the group in 1971.
This album under the United Artists label was released in 1972-was a timeless masterpiece with great lyrics, individual solos, upbeat with solid bass lines.
# 1 0n Billboard-best selling album of 1973.

Side Two: 1. Four cornered room 2. Where was you at 3. The world is a ghetto.

'Cisco Kid' was a favorite at the discos, and one of mine.
Z-I think it was Batu's fave, too.
