LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 18, 2019…49 YEARS AGO, RARE EARTH RELEASED THE MOTOWN SONG ‘GET READY’. THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SINGLES THAT I EVER PURCHASED, AND I THINK I WORE THE GROOVES OFF OF THE RECORD. THE BAND ‘RARE EARTH’ WAS THE FIRST WHITE MEMBERS ONLY BAND SIGNED BY MOTOWN THAT TURNED INTO A HIT MAKING MACHINE.
HERE’S SOME CONCERT FOOTAGE OF RARE EARTH PERFORMING ‘GET READY’ IN 1970.(BUCKLE UP FOR THIS ONE, THIS IS A JAM SESSION THAT GOES ON FOR CLOSE FOR 22 MINUTES)
