*******************
“We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR
WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".
WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

I grew up in Downey Ca. and I remember hearing there songs on the radio. The combination of harmonica saxes and flute had the most unusual sound. Loved these guys....👉🎷👈

I was 12 the year this album came out. Yes it lit up the air of my world with this tune coming from ALL types of radios, 8 tracks, and turntables. It was awesome.
🎶🎤 Searching for a place... Love it!!! 🥁🎺🎶❤
The late 1960s-early-1970s were an especially fascinating time music wise as it related to what was REALLY going on @ the world and in society as a whole at that time. 🌎
🙏🙏🙏🌎🇺🇸 Thank God for another blessed opportunity. Thank God for the kingdom. Isaiah 9:6. The most powerful song. 🙌 Thank God for my freedom
Compared to some of the music today listening to this is like drinking fresh water in a hot desert.
Brilliant. My all time fave by them. Great job.
The poetic verses of this song inspired me to start writing songs when I heard it at 12.
👏🏽 thank you for this! 🙏🏽 ✌🏽💙
Wow great song
WOW😊 BEE YOO TI FUL❤ As soulful as the song...
Oh the memories 💜

Lee Oskar ... so smooth playing harmonica as a lead instrument.

With all the crime, mass shootings, homelessness and hate across the globe this title is almost true.

I dug the War classics as a kid, just like most. then I found Platinum Jazz in the mid/late 70's and was just blown away.
The Superfly days..
Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed Looking at the sky, starry-eyed Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed Crying in the night, teary-eyed Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Wonder when I'll find paradise Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice Wonder if I'll find happiness Never give it up now I guess Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo There's no need to search anywhere Happiness is here, have your share If you know you're loved, be secure Paradise is love to be sure Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo

This is the 45 rpm version; the version that the WABCs played in 1973.
K Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's brought me here.

Without trying to be a downer, music made the same way then and now. Controlled by the music industry, dictating what and when we listen.

Ghetto Boys sampled this properly on their Resurrection album. From Amsterdam to Amarillo…”The World… Is A Ghetto….”
Art style remind me of Robert Crumb, probably on purpose.
SHEESH
this song is actually depressing despite it sounding happy
