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!
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.
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.
...Michigan Guitarist Rod (Cox) Richards Would Leave after "Ecology" and Hook up with Noel Redding and record under the name "Road", John (Persh) Parrish and Kenny (James) Folcik would also Leave not Long after Richards and record under the name Pywackett. The Band Peter (Rivera) Hoorelbeke Put Together "HUB" Was with Mike Urso , Rare Earths Then Bassist and Tom Baird Who also Did Much of the Writing on Recent Rare Earth Albums with Dino Fekaris. Bass Player and Trombone Player John Persh Passed Away in 1981, Percussionist and back up drummer Eddie Guzman Passed away in 1993, and More Recent Saxaphone/Wood staple Gil Bridges in 2021

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