ABOUT
The Flaming Ember was a blue-eyed soul/rock band that became famous during the late 1960s and early 1970s. They are best known for the fiery and soulful "Mind, Body And Soul" (1969), the funky "Westbound #9" (1970), and the upbeat "I'm Not My Brother's Keeper" (1970), which all showcase lead singer Jerry Plunk's gritty, expressive vocals.
Formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1964, the classic hitmaking lineup consisted of Jim Bugnel (bass), John Goins (keyboards, backup vocals), Joe Sladich (guitar), and lead singer Jerry Plunk (drums), with some personnel changes. First known as The Flaming Embers, named after a local restaurant, they dropped the "s" from their name in 1969. By the early 1970s, they had renamed themselves "Mind, Body And Soul" and spent the rest of the decade playing the Detroit bar circuit.
