Re: "Rare Earth"

LOL - I thought the link related to the Trump-Zelensky agreement to mine Rare Earth minerals in Ukraine!

Zelensky has a band now?

Written by the great Smokey Robinson and recorded by the band itself.

I followed your link and did not care for that song too much but then I looked below and saw this nice jam about the same period (1970 Fillmore East).

Cowgirl in the Sand by Neil Young and Crazy Horse

They really jam; I hate Young's politics but some of his songs ... wow.

On 8 Track I could listen to this tape for hours. I knew every break, every beat, every word. This tape and the Best of the Buffalo Springfield.

Great song title!

Rare Earth version seemed to be bluesie-hippified version of the temps original version. Can you say derivative?
