ブラッドストーン (Bloodstone)

Bloodstone
Bloodstone is a former R&B, pop, and funk group most popular in the 1970s and early 1980s, charting 13 songs beetween 1973 and 1984.

Formed in 1962 in Kansas City, Missouri, the group was originally a high school doo-wop group named the Sinceres. The members renamed themselves Bloodstone, learned to play instruments, started a funk band, and eventually moved to Los Angeles, California. Their eponymous first album, Bloodstone, introduced the songs, “That’s The Way We Make Our Music”, and “Natural High” which reached the R&B Top Ten. Bloodstone became known for their funk/soul tracks that blended Jimi Hendrix-styled rock music with doo-wop and gospel music undertones. The groups other hits include, “Never Let You Go, “Outside Woman” and “My Lady”. Bloodstone was instrumental in the "black rock" and funk movement of the 1970s, and even had a hand in the brown-eyed soul movement with some Latin music-tinged hits. Bloodstone performed with Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Elton John, and The Impressions...
