In 1975, a Conway Twitty song and “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” by War were played aboard a Cold War space mission. But that cosmic moment was just a glimpse into a much deeper story.
This is the untold journey of War—from garage rehearsals in Southern California to a final jam with Jimi Hendrix… from track scholarships traded for drumsticks to voices that defined a generation.
Some are still here to celebrate their Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Others, like Papa Dee Allen, Charles Miller, and B.B. Dickerson, are not. But their legacy lives on—in sound, in soul, and in story.
This video is for them.
