#WAR SLIPPIN INTO DARKNESS ALBUM SERIES#
A subtitle for "Nappy Head" claims it is the theme from Ghetto Man, but there does not appear to be any notable film or television series with this title, and it may refer to a series that never went into production. (The spelling was changed slightly to "Slippin' Into Darkness" for the single, and is also used on a CD edition of the album.) An earlier single was "All Day Music" backed with "Get Down". In late 1971 WAR released All Day Music, the title track would be the groups first hit single, and their first gold single Slippin Into Darkness followed. "Slipping Into Darkness", backed with "Nappy Head", was War's first big hit since their name change from Eric Burdon and War.
