The Flaming Ember (Jerry Plunk drums, Bill Ellis electric piano, Joe Sladich lead guitar, Jim Bugnel bass guitar) was an American white soul band from Detroit, Michigan, who found commercial success starting in the late 1960’s.The group originally formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1964. At that time, they were known as The Flaming Embers. In 1969, they signed with the newly formed Hot Wax Records, (the label founded by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Edward Holland, Jr.), after the band recorded for a number of smaller Detroit-area labels since 1965.They recorded for Ed Wingate’s Ric Tic label in 1967, but when Berry Gordy, Jr.’s Motown Records purchased Golden World/Ric Tic from Wingate, the Flaming Ember chose not to sign with Motown.The band dropped the “s” from its name and scored a pop and rhythm and blues hit with “Mind, Body and Soul” in 1969 (#26 on the US Billboard pop singles chart), their signature song (and heartland rock antecedent) “Westbound Number Nine” (#24 US pop, #15 US Billboard R&B chart), and “I’m Not My Brother’s Keeper” (#34 pop, #12 R&B), all released between late 1969 and late 1970.
