The Rare Earth Band — Motown’s First/Wildest Rock and Roll Experiment: The Untold Rise & Collapse!

Описание: Rare Earth wasn’t just a “rock band on Motown.”
They were Motown’s Trojan horse — the group Berry Gordy used to crash the rock market, shift the label’s identity, and prove Detroit soul could hit just as hard in the white rock world.

But behind the hits and the hype?
Man… the REAL story is way crazier.

In this deep-dive, I break down:

🎙️ How a Detroit bar band called The Sunliners became Rare Earth
🎸 Why Motown launched a whole label named after THEM
📼 The shady $100 demo-tape hustle that helped get them signed
🌀 The 21-minute “Get Ready” jam that became a secret weapon for early hip-hop DJs
🚨 The mob entanglement that almost destroyed the band
⚖️ The legal war between Peter Rivera and Gil Bridges over the Rare Earth name
💔 Why Motown’s move to LA broke the band’s momentum
🎵 Who’s still performing, who’s gone, and why their legacy is now untouchable

Rare Earth’s story isn’t just music history — it’s a lesson in ambition, chaos, and pure Detroit grind.

If you love the truth behind classic records…
If you love learning how the industry REALLY works…
You’re in the right place.
