Rare Earth is a Progressive rock and Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Sugarloaf, Verve Records, Four Tops, The Temptations and Iron Butterfly. Those roots explain a lot about how Rare Earth arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sugarloaf, Ten Years After, Dave Mason, Three Dog Night and James Gang, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lenny Kravitz, Prism, Meat Loaf, The Jackson 5 and Berry Gordy, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 50 connections around Rare Earth, reaching back through Sugarloaf and forward to Lenny Kravitz.
