WAR, from the very beginning, in 1969 was a concept and musical laboratory to experiment with the blending of many musical styles and influences. They wound up being honored with 17 gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards, which included the triple platinum “The World Is a Ghetto” and double platinum “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” The group garnered excellent reviews from mainstream and music press alike after touring extensively across Europe and the United States. England’s New Music Express called WAR “the best live band I ever saw” after their first UK gig in London’s Hyde Park. Musicians on both sides of the ocean were buzzing about this new band. Jim Hendrix jammed with WAR at Ronnie Scott’s Club the night on which Hendrix died. In late 1971 WAR released All Day Music, the title track would be the group’s first hit single, and their first gold single “Slippin’ Into Darkness” followed propelling the album to over 1 million sales and a winning streak that would continue for years.
