Why Can't We Be Friends

War's trademark fusion of funk, Latin, soul, and rock is in full effect on WHY CAN't WE BE FRIENDS?, which reached the Billboard Top 10. The Gold-certified album produced two Top 10 singles: "Low Rider," whose laid-back groove became a pop-culture staple, and the title track, a million-selling anthem of unity that was beamed to the U.S. astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts during the historic Apollo-Soyuz link-up in 1975. Quadraphonic sound, or 4.0 surround sound, utilizes four audio channels connected to four speakers positioned at the corners of a listening space. The multi-tracked audio is mixed dimensional, immersing the listener in an expansive soundscape.
