The World Is A Ghetto

My dad just passed away 2 weeks ago. I'm 54 and when I was a little girl my dad would play this album. I would sit in the living room and look at this album to see what every character was doing. My dad would have a scotch and water with ice in his hand. He would be BBQ dinner. We had a beautiful home in Oregon. I miss you dad! I'm happy that your with mom and my sisters 💕 this song sticks out to me. He would dance to the beat of thos song. ❤ I'm sorry if I already posted a memory. I will do it a thousand times over until I meet my family again. Peace and love to you all!

There will never be another era of music like we had in the 1970’s Rock. Motown. Rhythm and blues were at their highest!

War is one of THE GREATEST BANDS EVER RECORDED

i was about 10 when this first came out back in the 70s. My sister played this in her room all the time when she was a teen. She listened to Santana, a LOT of EW&F, Led Zepplin, Young Holt Unlimited, Jerry Butler, Friends of Distinction, Sly, Edgar Winter, Mandrill and others. I realized long ago her taste was all over the place, but in a very diverse way. I am now 62. RIP my sister LT, 1955 - 2014.

This is another group that put your mind at peace just like earth wind & Fire.Put you in your comfort zone.🥰🐶66 years and still digging this song.

American music for me, was forever defined in this era and has not been the same since. Brilliant social commentary mixed with a musicality that made for powerful narratives. What I loved so much about these guys is that they were not technically great singers but as a group, their harmonies were impeccable. They were masters of their craft and, for 50 years I have been a fan

Being a product of "the ghetto" , I can assure you that this song captures the essence of it!

I'm 63, a musician, and I love this tune. Age 63. Born 1960.

if you read this, you got great taste in music. if your under 25, congratulations.

This is an amazing album. WAR was/is a great old school soul/funk band!!!

My mom had this on 8-track tape when I was a kid. I'm the proud owner of an original vinyl lp copy with the poster. Love this band!

This is the music i listened to stoned in my teens . Almost 70 now, still sounds good to the ears of this white boy .

The music…the harmonies…the passion…the horn….the vibe!!! Can’t beat this🤩🤩🤩

So eerily haunting,and NOSTALGIC!!!it literally takes you back to a time when the world was more at peace,fun,and innocent!!!...

Found this album in my Grandpa's record collection! Listen to it almost every day. 🕊️ Grandpa

My dad and my brothers drove from Seattle to Pittsburgh in 93 ....in a 82 Coupdaville Cadillac with the original Soundsystem. 8-TRACK😮😮😊😊. They went to the Goodwill and my dad saw this 8track. This is what they listened to the whole trip😮😂😂. RIPDADDY03-11-23LOVEYOU❤

One of the best groups ive ever heard. A shame they never really got the recognition they deserved!

One of the most iconic bands ever. Amazing group of musicians to ever come together. Their sound was unique and unmistakably theirs. There should of been a book or movie made of their amazing careers. Charles Miller on the sax is so so beautiful and melodic and hauntingly beautiful. I have listened to this song hundreds of times and will keep on listening to it. You can also hear him on their WAR LIVE album, on "Sun oh Son" for a long sax solo that is out of this world. I hope they all make it through the resurrection and playing for us all in Paradise.

What can you say? It towers above today's music. The song was FM format at a time that FM stations weren't totally a thing. Talent in the band and the mix board,, A gem.

My Dad introduced me to this album in the 90's when I was 10 or 11. Its 2023. I'm 41 now and this album is still amazes me. Absolutely classic ❤
