They run in the same orbit as Jr. Walker & The All Stars, The Drifters, Edwin Starr, The Dells and Chairmen Of The Board, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jimmy Buffett, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
