Originally released on United Artists (441) in June, 1975.

  This was War's sixth LP (their 8th counting the two with Eric Burdon). It was released in 1975, charting for 31 weeks and peaking at #8. The title song was a top-10 hit.
One of War's best-known and best-selling albums, WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS? is the crown in the band's 1970s winning streak at United Artists. Both sunnier and more heavily Latin-themed than the group's earlier releases, the disc finds War distilling its experimental blend of multicultural pop styles into a refined, irresistibly attractive record. From the positive, Caribbean-flavored opening cut, "Don't Let No One Get You Down," to the superb funk of "Heartbeat," to the four-part medley "Leroy's Latin Lament," WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS? is full of outstanding songs.
