notes
A spacey synth lead, played by keyboardist Lonnie Jordan on his familiar Minimoog, carries the melody of this cosmic-disco track, a more electronic turn for the funk band. Jordan's Minimoog use with War across this period is reasonably well known, though the exact patch on this specific track is reconstructed by ear.
