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.

TRACKLiST:

Side A - Diana Ross - Love Hangover

Side B - Diana Ross - Kiss Me Now


HiSTORY:

"Love Hangover" was the fourth number one single for Motown singer Diana Ross.
It was released in March 1976, and rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100,
Hot Soul Singles and Hot Dance Club Play charts simultaneously.

Written by Pamela Sawyer and Marilyn McLeod as a disco number.
The Motown staff believed that it would be perfect for Ross to record. 

Ross, like her soul contemporaries Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye,
initially resented the new musical movement but eventually agreed to record the song.

Producer Hal Davis instructed the song's engineer Russ Terrana to install a strobe light
so that Ross could be in the "disco" mindset.
As the song changed from ballad to uptempo, Ross became more comfortable with the material;
she hummed, sang bit parts, laughed, danced around and even imitated Billie Holiday.
The carefree and sensual nature of Ross' vocals and the music's direction helped to sell the song.

Hal Davis recorded the track in 1975 thinking it ideal for Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross.
They were his two favorite vocalists to work with and thought Diana would be sexier on it, so he cut it on her.
Miss Ross recorded 'Love Hangover' in 1975 and was released on the LP "Diana Ross" - with a single from it,
"I Thought It Took A Little Time." The album came out Feb 12th, 1976 and two weeks later,
Motown issued I Thought It Took A Little Time as a single. Upon hearing the album, the 5th Dimension
did a copycat cover and released their shorter version of Love Hangover two weeks after that.
Word got to Motown, and Motown issued Ross' version on 45 and it hit huge - burying the 5th Dimension.
Motown, certain Hangover was a #1 for Diana, rushed out her version. Both entered the chart the same day.
By the time "Love Hangover" went to number one, Ross had reinvented herself as a disco diva and the
5th Dimension's version had peaked at number 80.
It won Ross a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Female Vocal Performance.
