Rare Earth records 1969 – RS 507
notes:
Rare Earth is an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan.
According to Louder, "Rare Earth's music straddles genres
and defies categorisation, slipping seamlessly between
the two seemingly disparate worlds of classic rock and R&B."
The band was signed to Motown's subsidiary label Rare Earth.
Although not the first white band signed to Motown, Rare Earth
was the first successful act signed by Motown
that consisted only of white members.
