The album was their most critically acclaimed and all songs were written or co-written by Motown producer Norman Whitfield. Written and produced by Norman Whitfield. RIP Mark Olson, Ed Guzman, Norman Whitfield & Gil Bridges. Featuring:

This is the story about the lady that raised me, ah, ha, ha, ha
Get up, get out
Well, she was born in a log cabin in the backwoods of Blackfoot, Mississippi
She drank moonshine, chews tobacco, raised thirteen children all by herself
Never looked much like a lady, you see, she was too busy providin' and raisin' her babies
Spent her evenin's sittin' in a rockin' chair, never had much o' nothin but was always willin' to share
Ma, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Talkin' 'bout my Ma, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Education, she didn't have none, never had a sick day in her life
Stronger than any too-good man, you better believe it, oh, yes she was, now lookie here
When Papa died, Mama put her love on a shelf, yes, she did
She swore up and down on the good book, she wouldn't love nobody else
Made sure that we were in church every Sunday
"Papa woulda wanted it that way", that's what she'd always say
Ma, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Talkin' 'bout the lady that raised me, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Every once in awhile when Ma would get depressed, she'd go to the closet and get Pa's guitar
Sit herself down in the rockin' chair, start hummin' and strummin', ha, ha, yeah, lookie here y'all
That was Ma's way of lettin' off steam, in plain old English we could see that Ma was doin' her thing
Every once in awhile she'd shout, "Wow, let it all hang out"
Ma, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Ma, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Talkin' 'bout the lady that raised me, talkin' about Ma, yeah
Get up, get out, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, whoa
An eternal masterpiece, even 50 years later, still moves me to tears...
Dank an meinen älteren Bruder der mir diese ART der Musik in meine Kindheit brachte...great!!!
wow, was kommen da für erinnerungen hoch und das mit 70
Eine Jahrtausend Nummer! Solch eine Zeit wünsche ich mir zurück!
Master Piece at tis Time , stunning 50 Years 's later
dedicate this song to my late father, one of his favourate song of all times..REST in peace DAD!🤍🕊🕊🕊
Simply badass 😎 👌. One of the most underrated bands of all time.
Yes, definitely underrated! Such amazing music ...
one of the best...
Not in Detroit back in the day.
mi favorita MA and smiling faces..chile
Yesss
I still state and stand on that the 2 greatest decades for music were the 60's and 70s.
I dedicate this song to my late brother who introduced me to this song before he passed on the 1974 😢
Too sad...rest in Peace...
This was our favourite song around the time we got married in 1974 & we insisted on it being played in the restaurant KHYBER in Pune whenever we went out for a meal. Eventually the restaurant guys would start playing it as soon as we entered. Now listening to it on my own BOSE system, nostalgia takes charge. Of course I am 72 & my wife is 68 but we listen to it with the same fondness !!
lots of love on and on :_)))
Oooh so sweet i dont know english but what i understand is Compliments to elderly People who are listen Sound like this first and second Iam happy to know that you two are still in Love like since the first Day right???

Same here, I bought this record and enjoyed with my friends. Quite a dope. I still have Rare Earth collection on records.
You're so great guys!!! This music never get older!!!😍🥳
Ain't no music like this music of Rare Earth...
The music from Rare Earth was, is and always will be from another galaxy... After a concert in Zurich the guys of rhe band signed me personally some LP's - what a honor!!! Forever in my life...!!! 🇨🇿Luigi
Dude you're lucky af. You got some hardcore memorabilia. Nice score. 👍
I got to hear them play this live in Sacramento Memorial Auditorium back in 1974. Ma is a great album, it never got any air play!! I'm listening to this right now, December 23rd 2020,it sounds like it was released yesterday!!
This is real music
What times ... today there are no groups like "Rare Earth"
The Ma album by Rare Earth is a very good album, and Motown producer Norman Whitfield brought out the best of the band on this album. The title track is just 17 minutes of kick ass funk Rock. This was one of the last albums Norman Whitfield produced before he left Motown. RIP Gil Bridges, Ed Guzman, and Mark Olson......
Back in 72 I would smoke my brain set the cruise at 65 hit the highway and listen to Ma about 4 or 5 times. Still love it
still got my vinyl...
Great song by one of the barest groups of the late seventies Rare Earth “ yes 🙌 guys could cook on some of these songs oh yes 👏 I do applaud this group yes bad oh yes they had all I one yes 👏
Blessed be. Because I was too young to understand how glorious this band was at the time but I know now
What a honor for a mother, or fictional mother from whom who had a good one... I didn't had, but this is encouraging me because I see the point in how it should be... So it goes straight to the heart👍
Those were the days that the waa-waa pedal was king. I haven’t listened to this for probably 45 yrs. still some very tight playing. It got some plays in the clubs, back in the day. Reminds me of Bev. Good stuff.
This was my first favorite song ever when i was 4 years old. Even then, in the 90's it was a classic song! Its just great to hear it again today...
My older brother bought this LP early 70,s and Rare Earth Live double record. BEST group, soulfull músic☮️ saludos desde Barcelona (Spain) 2023❤️
These group we're unbelievable..indeed they were ..Norman again and again...what a genius.. the master of them all. Bless your soul brother. Amen.
As a teenager l played this album almost every day before school to get me moving. Still winds me up when I hear it. I especially love this song. Good times.
Rare Hearts & forh Me.

Thank you David Young for your creativity in making us sit down and listen to Rare Earth. David was way ahead of his time and he that car stereo eight track hooked up to a AC/DC battery charger with speakers in every room . He’d bring you a cold beer that had just a little ice in it . And we jammed most days and then go down to A&W and get those Rootbeers in a chilled mug. You talking about enjoy the times we did. Rest in peace you were Heavy D of the early 70’s. LB May 30, 2023 Tuesday
Still great after all these years I remember when Rare Earth first came on the scene. They brought it!
Lyrically strong and musically tight. Everybody can relate to the story told. Maybe not your mom, but the mother figure you knew.
When I was a kid this song played as my alarm in the morning to get up for school on a state of the art sound system with a pair of like 3 x 2 ft pioneer speakers with crushed red velvet, of course turned up to 11..the whole house shook...one of my best memories!
Italien, 1983
That lead singer is a beast, then that band!They are right up there with Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, Stones,The Who, The Doors!
I feel you.
Ma. Tatsächlich good.
My dad, brother and myself let this play in my dads 1980 bmw on our night patrols.
This was one of the vinyl in my parent's collection from the 70s. This is my earliest introduction to music, and a damn good one.
Just discovered and diggin it, a fan of Funkadelic, Hendrix, Prince,, Fanny, Tommy Bolin etc.🖖🤟👌🤝
This song reminds me on my father..... he loved this band and the present i gave him on his last birthday was a LP of Rare Earth...... i love this song
This incredible piece of music remains light-years ahead of all known music

Dig the Tempts version too but Rare Earth's is epic!! Raise a toast to motown's blue eyed soul bros!!
War meine 1. LP vor 40 Jahren.
Finde es immer noch cool
imagine being 17 years old, taking a weekend trip across the Alps to go to the U.S. Consulate in Zurich to get a tourist visa with a bunch of stoner buddies who went to needle park to buy a bunch of hash in August of 1984. On the way back, broke and eating delicious yet cheap Swiss chocolate, getting lost up the San Bernardino mountain pass parking somewhere along a dirt road up at over 700feet altitude in the dark. Falling asleep in that tiny Fiat 127 the four of us and waking up the next morning snowed in with hash smoke so thick could hardly see anything listening to this song... What a trip!
Ahhh, memories... :-) THANK YOU RARE EARTH
Sounded like fun.
Was awesome
This group is one of my all time favorites. Thank you for sharing.
LOVE THIS SOUND SoO Much !!! 💖✨🎶🤩💥✅
I really like rare earth from 1972-1976Irememberhaving the forty-five of this song when I was a Sophomore at Livingston High school back in 1975and the cassette of this album
My favorite Group Rare Earth, for me the best 🎉🎉
Always dug Rare Earth. Was turned on to this jam in Europe at about 74 or 75. The
instrumental mix is so awesome ya just don't want it to end especially the key board.
30 years & still lessening 2 this song
Love you rear earth .
You said 'rear' earth!!
Thank you CZcams for THIS ALBUM, MANY YEARS PAST
I DID OWN THIS GREAT ALBUM. ✌ ☮..
A total trip!... Thanks
Had this album for years on L P still on my tops list.
Went to see them live back in his 80s never forget that show the drummer big John
earned the the first spin-off label from Motown, Rare Earth Records.
Wrong
My Ma has her own mountain. It's because of her i know this music. A work horse, never afraid. Like me. Like my daughter. Music lives forever.
This is perfect music since I first listened to it and I will never get tired listening it is one of my favorite tune - DS
The piano player was.masterful
That would be mark olsen
"Wow, let it all hang out"
Put's a smile on my face.
Love this band to bits the only crime is i never got to see them live, way ahead of their time for funk and cool, my go to feel good music all day every bloody day.
They were incredible in concert
This is one of the most rhythmically thrilling songs I've ever heard. Absolutely incredible work.
This is the prove that a good extended song can be constructed up to a well selected rythmic base..You can hear all the instruments going around this concept...
@@marceloinustroza5795 That's it exactly, Marcelo. Excellent observation.
HOS
don't forget it's produce by Motown !
For me, this song busted open my musical interests. The first two times I heard it, was this album version; then after that, all I heard was the radio-edit version. At the age of 15, it was the first time that I realized that there was more music out there than what is played on the radio. I still own the album!
Just hearing it. First time I heard it in the seventies. Now: 63.
Seventeen minutes of pure magical bliss
Though Papa Was A Rollin' Stone was more popular, I'll take Rare Earth any day! This group was so good.👍
Search for Papa... on my channel, it's special and a great memory from my youth...
I remember when we played certain artist or songs and you could hear it outside you knew exactly what was going on during that time and as kids or young adults we was enjoying ourselves but you believe one thing for sure nobody wasn't feeling no pain at the end of the song and this is 2020 and i can still reflect on those times.
Tremendo tema. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Candela que clase de musicasa!!!!!! Tierra Rara
I was 13- years old when I hear that song in my country EL SALVADOR 🇸🇻
musica intramontabile nessuno riuscirà a rifarla mai
Rare Earth + Norman Whitfield= exelence
love it..just love ❤it❤❤❤
Nevjerovatno, Volim Rare Earth
Ah!Norman Whitfield a brilliant producer.His demonstration group for the Temptations but Ma was a great song for the Temptations one of my favourites
Remember my ma, I used to listen to this song in the 70's
This was the opening song of a Great album. The last cut was very different and interesting.
The last cut is about how the lady that raised me made me..
éste álbun nos impactó de verdad, que maravillosa "era" aquella década.
Los setenta fueron definitivamente los mejores para la música
I don't speak Spanish except for muy poquito, but I agree wholeheartedly with your words.
Since I was 15, this song was in difficult times besides me...
Not since Mary and Jesus did a boy have a better Mom than mine. The joy of my life is that we are both Christians and I know I will see her again, right after I kiss the feet of Jesus! There will be Rock'n'Roll in Heaven! Beach95FM will never die!
mis idolos de aquella era, BEATLES, FUNKY Y RARE HEART
You have a very interesting playlist! I got here from the tubes remote control song. I saw rare Earth in 78. They put on a great show and opening for them was yesterday and today who eventually became y&t.
Thanks Miles, I can't imagine how good Rare Earth must have been live, wish I'd been there! Rock on Brother...
I bought this album when it first came out , it is 11-22-23 and I still have it. With the other 200 albums I bought while I was in the military.
Epic! Forever! Ma!
Learned to play the Dashboard & later Drums with these folks
