"Slippin' into Darkness " is a song written and performed in 1971 by War . The song was produced by Jerry Goldstein.[1] B-side to their 1974 single "Ballero".
Background [ edit ]
This song is an unusual blues form with the first lines being repeated in an African and Latin rhythm. The song is from the perspective of someone whose friend's life was taken away, who withdraws from reality, having to pay the consequences. Because of the song's length in the album version, at 6:59, the single radio edit version of 3:59 omits the slower introduction plus the second verse of the song.
Chart performance [ edit ]
It reached #12 on the U.S. R&B chart and #16 on the U.S. pop chart in 1972,[2] [3] Gallery 's "Nice to Be with You ".[4] All Day Music [5] Billboard Top 100 singles of 1972 .[6] [7]
