Black musicians in rock/rock&roll (metal, albums, group)

[Thomas R.]

Possibly too political, but it's African American history month and it relates to another thread.

The sound quality is sadly poor on that one.

I considered "Wind Cries Mary" but this is more rocking.

This one is more mellow than rocking, but I like it and they were considered a rock group as I recall.

Love is great. Nice mellow psychedelic stuff.

P.S. Living Colour is considered a folk-metal band. Most of their other songs are "heavier" than the one you posted. A good song regardless.

Good stuff there Haaziq! Love peaked with that lp, rated by a lot of record reviewers as one of the top 10 lp's ever released from 1968. Don't forget "Da Capo", "Foursail", and their first lp, simply called "Love" (has their first chart hit single from the Spring of 1966 called 'My Little Red Book'). They also released two albums on the Blue Thumb label, Love: Out here and False Start, both released in the early 70's.
