Rare Earth - Get Ready and One World

Rare Earth - a white Motown band - they have a singing drummer.  So add this band to the list of that unique group.  Get Ready, their second album is on the left.  The photo on the right is the back cover of their 4th album - called One World, released in June 1971.  You will remember "I Just Want to Celebrate" which became a Top 10 Gold certified hit.  "One World", the album would become the 3rd and final Gold album from the ensemble. Those hits over the first 3 years of the decade insured that the band can still tour today, albeit on the oldies circuit. But Rare Earth made their mark.  On side two of Get Ready is Side two is the title track "Get Ready" (by Robinson) – the one and only song on that side, coming in at 21 and a half minutes.
