Yeh who'd of thunk a bunch of white boys recording at Motown studios could put out such a kick ass classic. This gentlemen is the long version one song on one side of the LP and they don't made music like this today. BTW the lead singer was the drummer Pete Rivera. Rare Earth, Get Ready. Don't forget to read the comments on YouTube.
Hit play and open another window and surf the net with this song playing in the background it is over 21 minutes long. Or you can just watch Alizée dance in my signature to the song.

Wow, thanks for the blast from the past! This is a great classic. I have always like listening to the long versions of songs, but dang, this one is as long as 2112 by Rush.
Somehow that era of the late 60's to early 70's definitely had a unique sound to the music. It was funky and had a lot of soul. It wasn't limited to motown artists either.
Here is another good one from that era
