Biography
Eric Burdon & War, an American funk band from Long Beach, California, formed in 1969. The group initially included Howard E. Scott, Harold Ray Brown, Charles Miller, Morris "B.B." Dickerson, Lonnie Jordan, Lee Oskar, and Thomas "Papa Dee" Allen. Eric Burdon & War began their music career with live shows in Southern California before releasing their debut album Eric Burdon Declares "War" in 1970, which featured the hit track "Spill the Wine". The band toured extensively across Europe and the United States. In September 1970, Eric Burdon & War performed at Ronnie Scott's Club in London, where Jimi Hendrix joined them onstage for his final public performance. Their second album, The Black-Man's Burdon, was released later that year. However, Eric Burdon left the band mid-tour due to health issues, and the group continued as War. In 1972, they released The World Is a Ghetto, which became Billboard's best-selling album of 1973. The album included hits like "The Cisco Kid" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?". Subsequent albums such as Deliver the Word (1973) and Why Can't We Be Friends? (1975) featured notable tracks including "Low Rider" and "Summer", which peaked at number 7 on the Billboard chart.
