Thanks for spotlighting Rare Earth! Eddie Guzman was my uncle. He was an incredible percussionist and a wonderful human being as well. I was born too late since I was too young to truly appreciate their talent and my Uncles abilities until the 90's. Got to go backstage at many events and meet many incredible people from different bands that toured with them. It was an honor!! So glad to see others appreciated them all as much as I do. Music never dies!

I was at cal jam back in 1974, I remember them and they were ok but most of the crowd was there for bands like Sabbath and Deep Purple.

Great job on this. Ray Monette also played on several Parliament Funkadelic records, he was one of the only Caucasian guitarists to play with them. You should do one of these on Black Oak Arkansas, who were mentioned in this one.

Rare Earth performed 3 times in Kankakee , IL ...Another time I saw them with Steppinwolf , Iron Butterfly , and Tommy James & the Shondells

Love this channel and all your videos. 😊Can you do one on April wine?

Please do a video on The Cyrkle as they still perform to this day

One of my childhood babysitters was married to Randy “Bird” Burghdoff, who was a road agent and became a bassist and vocalist with them from 1985-2021. Unfortunately his ex-wife divorced him, I suspect due to not being there more for their son, whom I’m friends with, but don’t know for certain. My mother passed away the last day of 2003, and sometime in the 2010s, my father became engaged to Bird’s ex-wife.

Awesome channel!

They were mine first concert I saw

Great band, i have all of their albums!

"I Just Want to Celebrate" is Gonna Be My Lottery Win Theme Song. I Can Dream, Can't I? (smile)
