CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF WAR’S “SUMMER” NEW LYRIC VIDEO OUT NOW!
WAR released our iconic Summer anthem 50 years ago today on June 21, 1976.
Featured on the band’s multi-platinum album Greatest Hits, “Summer” perfectly captured the carefree spirit of the season with its laid-back groove, sun-soaked melodies, and feel-good message. Nearly five decades later, the song remains a staple of summertime playlists, soundtracking beach days, road trips, barbecues, and warm nights for generations of fans around the world.
To mark this golden anniversary, we’ve released a brand-new official lyric video for “Summer”!
