HiSTORY:

In 1976, War released a greatest hits record which contained one new song "Summer",
which, as a single, went gold and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard chart.
Also released that year were Love is All Around by Eric Burdon and War,
containing mostly unreleased recordings from 1969 and 1970, and Platinum Jazz,
a one-off album for jazz label Blue Note Records.
The latter double album had cover art to match the greatest hits album,
and was half new material and half compilation, focusing on (but not restricted to) instrumental music.
The group continued to attain success with their next album,
Galaxy (1977) whose title single was inspired by Star Wars.
War's next project was a soundtrack album for the movie Youngblood in 1978.
