Interracial Bands?

[dunlopj]

I was listening to some Three Dog Night on the ride in this morning (love them) and it got me to thinking...

Besides the BEP's, I cannot think of any other bands or groups that featured both White and African American members. And that seems sad.

Can you think of any major groups that were interracial?

 

[jokerswild]

Big N Rich feat. Cowboy Troy
Hootie and the Blowfish

Just a couple I can think of off the top of my head without googleing...

 

[jtnichol]

Sly and the Family Stone!
Dave Mathews
Limp Bizkit
Kid Rock

TONS of groups!

No google here but there are tons

Earth Wind and Fire

Nope, Rare Earth was all white dudes but they were on Motown records.

If memory serves me right there were no caucasians in EW&F (at least in the original line-up).

Both killer bands though..

Ahhh yes...I was looking at a recent DVD of EWF and it was CHICAGO playing with them...My bad.


Rare Earth just sounds black. BTW I have Peter Rivera's autograph. Thanks for the correction on this. Pretty bad on my part.

Yup, Chicago is a pretty pale band.

No harm, no foul.....you're just a young guy and these bands were before your time... LOL
