Hire: War, the band
War is an American funk/rock/soul band known for several hit songs (including “Spill the Wine”, “The World Is a Ghetto”, “The Cisco Kid”, “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”, “Low Rider”, and “Summer”).
Freewheeling War mixed rock, jazz, and soul influences into a spicy stew throughout the ’70s, resulting in a series of R&B and pop hits sporting funky melodies and politically aware messages.

Formed in Long Beach in 1969, the large combo initially served as rocker Eric Burdon’s group, backing the ex-Animal on his 1970 million-seller “Spill the Wine.” Bidding Burdon adieu, the band signed with United Artists in 1971 and enjoyed its first smash the next year with “Slippin’ into Darkness.” Tapping into a sizzling, horn-fueled rock/soul synthesis, “The World Is a Ghetto,” “The Cisco Kid” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” all went gold during the mid-’70s.
Despite numerous personnel and label changes, the band remained eminent throughout the ’80s.
In the early ’90s, War experienced a revival, partially due to the fact that all of their albums were reissued. But the group was also acknowledged as a primary influence on contemporary R&B and hip-hop. They returned to recording in 1994 to capitalize on their new-found popularity.
On April 21, 2008, Eric Burdon performed “Spill the Wine” with War in concert at the London Royal Albert Hall, released as Greatest Hits Live on Avenue / Rhino Records, which also reissued much of War’s back catalogue that year.

Their discography includes eighteen studio albums, three live albums, seven compilation albums, and sixty singles.
