Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: This track features Johnny King collaborating with The Fatback Band, one of the most influential and prolific funk bands of the 1970s. The Fatback Band was a pioneer in developing the raw, percussive "funk" sound and later played a significant role in early hip-hop with tracks like "King Tim III (Personality Jock)." "Peace Love Not War," released in 1975, is characteristic of their mid-70s groove. It features a driving, infectious rhythm section with tight drums and bass, often supplemented by funky guitar riffs and a prominent horn section. The lyrics, delivered by Johnny King, reflect the social consciousness common in soul and funk music of the era, advocating for themes of peace and unity in a post-Vietnam, post-civil rights environment. The song combines The Fatback Band's signature raw funk energy with a positive, uplifting message, making it a compelling listen for fans of classic funk
