The Undisputed Truth "Spaced Out" 1975
http://youtu.be/Iqu_9ePgH28
This track was requested by a couple of You Tube users and is from Undisputed Truths fifth album and, believe it or not, is a cover of a Neil Young song.
This album is some seriously forward-minded stuff. Take Curtis Mayfield, Jimi Hendrix, Parliament, Rick James, Sun Ra and a tab of acid. Put it in a blender and you get this wicked trip from 1975. When you hear the Mellotron and synth outro to "Earthquake Shake" you'll know that you've entered Motown on Mars.
The Undisputed Truth was produced by Norman Whitfield. The band was originally a trio with singers Brenda Joyce, Billie Rae Calvin, and Joe Harris, a Preps singer and '60s Ohio Players member, in 1970. They called themselves the Undisputed Truth.
The Undisputed Truths discography included songs such as the original "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," "Ball of Confusion," and "Friendship Train," there's no denying the Truth's status as forerunners.
In 1976, Whitfield moved them to his self-named label. After another personnel change, an updated Truth included Virginia McDonald, Tyrone Berkeley, Calvin Stephenson, Tyrone Douglas, Carl Smalls, Chaka Khan's sister Taka Boom, and the original member Joe Harris.

The Undisputed Truth "Smiling Faces Sometimes" 1969 My Extended Version!
http://youtu.be/7aYcDe3voww
The late great Norman Whitfield had an amazing knack for political and social comment. The Undisputed Truth was one of his favorite vehicles to express his opinions. Joe Harris served as main lead singer, with Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce. My extended version of this great hit...
