Hey Gary, remember the band “Rare Earth”?

It was about your radio days, early 70’s. Heard them on the radio the other day, made me think of you and Ft. Campbell. I think most people thought the band was a bunch of black guys. Sort of a transition, blending some Motown funky with a hard line rock beat. Still some good tunes, several hits. Good rock until the Disco migrated in.

Rare Earth was the only (at that time) on the Motown label

that was comprised of white guys. They put on a helluva show. One of their main songs was "I just want to celebrate" and they had a 20 minute version of it. The drummer was a white guy and the main lead vocalist. I don't know what has happened to them but they were a great group.
They did cover versions of several of the Temptations hits.

Another big hit for them was the old Temptations
