In 1970, producer Jerry Goldstein united the seven-piece band with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon; the alliance produced the No. 1 worldwide hit “Spill the Wine.” Stepping out on their own in 1971, they launched a fruitful career with a dynamic sound that fused R&B, rock, Latin music, jazz, and blues. Their 1973 smash album The World is a Ghettovaulted to No. 1 on Billboard’s pop and R&B charts behind the crossover success of two top-10 singles. This year, the group celebrates the album’s 50-year anniversary.
