In 1975, a Conway Twitty track and a song by the band War were played aboard a Cold War space mission. But the real story isn’t what made it to space—it’s how War got off the ground in the first place. A drummer who turned down a track scholarship. A sax player with his own record before the band even existed. A teen so young, they had to draw on a mustache just to sneak him into clubs. From Vietnam to Long Beach, Jimi Hendrix to Huey Newton… This isn’t just music history. This is family. Today, my father and his brothers in rhythm finally receive their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. For the ones who made it. And the ones who didn’t live to see it. 🎥 Full story in the video. #RaySaidIt #WARband #HollywoodWalkOfFame #LowRider #WhyCantWeBeFriends #MusicLegends #70sMusic #FunkHistory #BlackExcellence #ComptonToHollywood #UnsungHeroes #FamilyLegacy #ClassicFunk #MusicalRoots #Storytelling
