Why Can't We Be Friends
War's Why Can't We Be Friends? is remembered more for what it was not. That is; this was not War as much as it seemed to be a bunch of guys impersonating War. At the peak of their success, War seemed to be playing in more of a practical mode, Therefore generating predictable results.
The down to earth feel of Friends points to a cool, witty and softer side of War, even though Low Rider was a huge hit on both Billboard charts, one can not help but remember how out of place it feels on the 1975 release. The Low Rider song did get proper acknowledgement in the Cheech & Chong Up in Smoke soundtrack & film.
Disorienting and somewhat confusing, Why Can't We Be Friends gives a hint to the days of disco that did lie ahead. Even though the War movement appeared to be winding down, Jerry and the crew cashed in on the next album ,Greatest Hits. Yet, War would never achieve these highs in the studio again.
