How's about a little of that blue-eyed soul for your Thursday enjoyment. Straight from Detroit, Michigan and the groovin' sixties baby come The Flaming Ember.
For those of you not familiar with the term "blue-eyed soul" (also sometimes known as "white soul") - It just means Caucasian artists who were influenced by the Soul and R & B genres.
Although they did not enjoy much commercial success, The Flaming Ember had every bit as much soul as The Righteous Brothers, Len Barry, The Doobies and Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels.
In total, they had only three hits reach the Billboard charts between 1969 and 1970. Personally, their chart status means very little to me... 'cause I know what I like. Give me some of that groovy soul, baby!
