Mother Earth formed in 1967 in California but moved to Nashville after their first album.
Vocalist Tracy Nelson (pictured) hailed from Madison, Wisconsin, and began her career as a solo artist, forming Mother Earth after moving to San Francisco.
The group recorded four albums for Mercury Records, with Boz Scaggs joining the group on Make A Joyful Noise (1969). They finally called it quits in 1977.
Tracy Nelson also enjoyed a modicum of success as a solo artist in the 70s, creating a string of nearly great but always flawed albums.
