A funky group from the 70's consisting of a mother and her children. I heard of them for the first time today. Is there a musicologist on this page who can tell me more.

I have never heard of them until today. Here's some more info on this website if you haven't already seen it:

Back in the early 70s, there was a black teen-oriented magazine called "Right On" that did a feature on them as I recall.

I love this song. I'm going to explore more of their music.
