For me one of the iconic bands of our hippie daze...and maybe the first to be fronted by TWO female singers.



Any memories of favorites songs here....

Potently enriched alternative folk-pop. Possible precursor of what is now deemed "world music". Just what I like to hear. Soulful conveyance that puts the mind exactly where the heart is. Do I detect a hint of Brazilian or Latin American influence?

Possibly...definitely jazz-blues-R&B influences which has it's African/American roots...which then move to Latin/Caribbean influences...so yeah, some of the first World music, but definitely some of the first to voice feminist thoughts in music.

But I really never heard the feminist stuff in it(I'm more of a we ALL need respect...I don't like to divide it intio the Feminist, black, gay or whatever movements)-- just "hey, I'm a human being, treat me with respect....I demand respect and deserve it..

..and there is some save the planet, free your souls, hippie mantra music too.
