The Flaming Embers can
be traced back to 1965 when they recorded for the Fortune
label on Third Street.
They were a white
group desperately trying to emulate the black sound, and
consisted of Joe Sladich (guitar), Bill Ellis (piano), Jim
Bugnel (bass) and Jerry Plunk (drums). Their debut for Ric-Tic
came in July 1967 when they released "Let's have a
love-in". Another five discs
followed but the persistence failed to pay off and
nothing charted. When Motown bought
the Ric-Tic label in 1968, Flaming Embers were released from
their contract. The following year
they joined Holland/Dozier/Holland's Hot Wax label as the
Flaming Ember. Three top 40 hits
ensued before they broke up in 1973.
