Lonnie Liston Smith [1980] - Give Peace a Chance (Make Love Not War) [Columbia #1-11217/JC 36373]

It's now 90 days (13 Weeks) since Putin invaded Ukraine with no real signs of an end in sight. So, sadly, it looks like I'll be digging deep for more anti-war tunes for quite a while to come on a morning when reports are coming through of yet another mass shooting in the US, the second in as many weeks .. I think I've got the title for next week's song "Crazy World"! 

This week's offering is from Jazz-Funk fusion pioneer Lonnie Liston Smith with "Give Peace a Chance (Make Love Not War)" from his 1980 "Love Is The Answer" album. A shorter version was issued as a single. both versions included below.
