Booker t and the mg's
Two black guys, two white and the front man was a black guy, took a long time to get that kind of integration in the states afterwards
Not forgetting WAR of course, truly integrated multiracial with Latinos and Hispanics too |

Thats what made them so versatile as musicians and song writers. A lot of big names wouldn't have had the success they had without them.
Don't forget the Blues Brothers to add to the list.
Fuquawl is another cool track of Booker T and co. |
