Formed in 1969, War was a musical crossover band which fused elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, and reggae. The band also transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up. The band has sold over 50 million records to date.[citation needed]\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough War's lyrics are often socio-political in nature, their music usually had a laid-back, California funk vibe. A particular feature of War's sound is the use of harmonica and saxophone playing melody lines in unison, sounding like a single instrument, for example in the melody of \"Low Rider\". The music has been sampled and recorded by many singers and groups, ranging from R\u0026amp;B / pop singers such as Janet Jackson to nu metal band Korn and hip hop groups like TLC.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/War","playStationPath":"/stations/113282958/play","stationId":113282958,"bioPath":"/music/War/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Donny+Hathaway","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bfb/bfbb01023b5eb9ef458c9c32f3949aba_md.jpg","artistName":"Donny Hathaway","artistId":341,"station_id":113290288},{"musicPath":"/music/Sharon+Jones+the+Dap+Kings","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7b3/7b3c57fb06b6ce4fe481f32a4ab1525b_md.jpg","artistName":"Sharon Jones \u0026 the Dap-Kings","artistId":1914,"station_id":113567329},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Edgar+Winter+Group","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e27/e275e5f967a1050ecaab3a20230e42fc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Edgar Winter Group","artistId":90254,"station_id":272352869},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Jimmy+Castor+Bunch","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/260/260c4e15d593bf0ab196f4089485231a_md.jpg","artistName":"The Jimmy Castor Bunch","artistId":3646,"station_id":113480379},{"musicPath":"/music/Brick","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6e0/6e000019da5345faadfde195fde44b99_md.jpg","artistName":"Brick","artistId":9151,"station_id":113306301},{"musicPath":"/music/Boz+Scaggs","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2ee/2ee27b06cd6bffaa389efc0bdc6fa403_md.jpg","artistName":"Boz Scaggs","artistId":2804,"station_id":113265669},{"musicPath":"/music/Chic","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/864/8647590d20badcdd9c89690e05d3f6e5_md.jpg","artistName":"Chic","artistId":261,"station_id":113279407},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Staple+Singers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/449/449be6e27bd32f126bff736d17fce2fc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Staple Singers","artistId":766,"station_id":113318300},{"musicPath":"/music/Marvin+Gaye","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9de/9de58bf5e814ae394d2c4277d3435dd7_md.jpg","artistName":"Marvin Gaye","artistId":526,"station_id":113262530},{"musicPath":"/music/Peter+Frampton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/286/286f31ce5da354b94850c4bea6c895b1_md.jpg","artistName":"Peter Frampton","artistId":5762,"station_id":113314266},{"musicPath":"/music/LaBelle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e21/e21d3b62f9c4a0ae441aa72d4d6349ea_md.jpg","artistName":"LaBelle","artistId":4693,"station_id":113635752},{"musicPath":"/music/Lyn+Collins","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0f2/0f2f08dfbdd169474a155cc006d13e0e_md.jpg","artistName":"Lyn Collins","artistId":3644,"station_id":114271017},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Stylistics","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e47/e4723e7b327df9fed6834fbdcfc3b99f_md.jpg","artistName":"The Stylistics","artistId":2867,"station_id":113274516},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Guess+Who","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/936/936de2d822e661a9eca4fdff9238c91c_md.jpg","artistName":"The Guess Who","artistId":1599,"station_id":113268203},{"musicPath":"/music/Cymande","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c8c/c8ccf33e85bd6d5e35c4ad5a1fa5b500_md.jpg","artistName":"Cymande","artistId":127458,"station_id":284746806},{"musicPath":"/music/Todd+Rundgren","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9bb/9bb8c50a199c2b1c7bda2a5a563690a2_md.jpg","artistName":"Todd Rundgren","artistId":5527,"station_id":113370082},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Whispers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/10b/10b31da95471fd2e15c2e754e7f12d74_md.jpg","artistName":"The Whispers","artistId":3602,"station_id":113303703},{"musicPath":"/music/Eddie+Kendricks","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a9c/a9ce320f6841b1455145a62de8f8667e_md.jpg","artistName":"Eddie Kendricks","artistId":3639,"station_id":113317260}]}
