It's funny that i've never noticed them consistently making any of the periodic "Blue-eyed soul" lists.

Maybe I just stopped paying attention.

And the fact these cats made history being the 1st white act to be signed to Motown and given their own label to keep that side of Motown together was no small feat

HA this is a good test of your knowledge of PFunk. "Ma" is the exact same tune as "Red Hot Momma" and guitarist Ray Monette did a lot of studio work for Motown and Westbound. He goes largely uncredited for Funkadelic session work.

Waaaay back ~ in college ~ our local radio station held a contest to name the station. My friend and I submitted the call letters WEED and won the contest (of course they didn't use the name but we won anyway giggle)
The prize was a Rare Earth Vinyl which I believe I still have. cool

I've had a golden spot for them always.

My dad may he rest in peace had this on 8 track when i was
6 years old and i'll admit i knew nothing about rare earth until
about two years ago when a co worker of mine told me about them.
They're not bad at all. I still prefer average white band though.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint
