Fact of the Day: Rare Earth formed in 1960 as The Sunliners and changed its name to Rare Earth in 1968. After recording an unsuccessful debut album, Dream/Answers, on the Verve label in 1968, the group was signed to Motown in 1969. The band was one of the first acts signed to a new Motown imprint that would be dedicated to white rock acts. The record company did not have a name for the new label yet and the band jokingly suggested Motown call the label Rare Earth. To the bands surprise, Motown decided to do just that. https://youtube/watch?v=hpSNWkYTYNI
