"Movin' On" by Mother's Finest

Are they heavy metal? Funk? Southern rock? Soul? Yes, yes, yes, and...yes! Mother's Finest is one of the most intriguingly diverse bands to ever hit the charts. They managed to poke their head onto the Top 100 twice in the 70s, with "Fire" and "Baby Love" hitting #93 and #58, respectively.

The band formed in Atlanta in 1970 by a husband and wife vocal team (Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy" and Glenn "Doc" Murdock). Tremendously talented, the band was breaking stereotypes left and right, and selling consecutive gold records. But their music fell on deaf ears at radio.

The band stepped up the rock even more in the early 80s with their album, "Iron Age." "Movin' On" is the stormy lead track that provides a thundering kickstarter whenever you need it. If you want to sample something more groovy, check out "Thank You For The Love" from "Another Mother Further."
