2.History
The group formed in 1961 as The Sunliners, and changed their name to "Rare Earth" in 1967.The band was the first act signed to a new Motown imprint that would be dedicated to white rock acts.The record company didn't have a name for the new label yet, and the band jokingly suggested Motown call the label "Rare Earth."The main personnel in the group included Gil Bridges (saxophone and vocals ), Pete Rivera a.John Persh (bass guitar, trombone and vocals), Rod Richards (born Rod Cox, guitar), Ray Monette ( guitar ), Edward "Eddie" Guzman (congas and assorted percussive instruments) and Kenny James (born Ken Folcik, keyboards).Other songs include "I Just Want to Celebrate" and "Hey, Big Brother" They did not chart significantly after 1971, although they continued to record into the 1980s.Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Engelbert Humperdinck, or the Rare Earth."Rare Earth, which continues to perform at corporate events and on the oldies circuit, appears to have had the last word, however; bits from their recordings have been used as samples on recordings as diverse as Beck's "Derelict", UNKLE and DJ Shadow's "GDMFSOB (feat.Black Sheep's "Try Counting Sheep", Peanut Butter Wolf's "Tale of Five Cities", Scarface's "Faith", NWA's "Real Niggaz Don't Die" and Eric B.Rakim's "What's Going On".It is also sampled in the song "We Celebrate" on the new Ghostface Killah album The Big Doe Rehab.Hence side 2's 21 minute 30 second recording of the Temptation's tune "Get Ready".And even as long as it is it doesn't get bogged down or overblown.Lead singer Pete Riviera had a powerful voice, similar to Dennis Edwards, that could sell a song; the percussion and echo vocals accentuate the classic.Compilations
