War

War (originally called Eric Burdon and War) is an American R&B and progressive soul band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1969. The band is known for several hit songs in the 1970s (including "Spill the Wine", "The World Is a Ghetto", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", and "Summer"). A musical crossover band, War became known for its eclectic blend of funk, soul, jazz, and rock, an amalgam of the different sounds and styles the band members heard living in the racially diverse ghettos of Los Angeles. Their album The World Is a Ghetto was Billboard's best-selling album of 1973. The band transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic lineup. War was subject to many lineup changes over the course of its existence, leaving member Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan as the only original member in the current lineup; four other members created a new group called the Lowrider Band.
