I grew up on this...13 when they first won that tv show competition

Watched with mom and granny

Nobody really thought of them as a so called black band

Just a psychedelic funk band with afros and jew fros

I saw them several times....loved them

Rare Earth came later....similar

Sly banged Miss Audrey.....now that is an odd pair

And i know her granddaughter today

I don't think they were intended to be a black band. There were black and white members. Stone (Stewart) was a DJ before, and was involved in both soul and rock. He produced the Beau Brummels, a white folk rock band, including their biggest songs, Laugh, Laugh, and Just a Little.
