The Flaming Ember were originally from Detroit Michigan and had a number of big hits in 1969 and 1970 before disbanding. Westbound #9 was the first full length album released under the name the Flaming Ember (they had two) which contains a number of hits including the title track and a song that they would change their name to "Mind, Body and Soul".
Musically this is beautiful sunshine pop psych with a heavy Motown soul vibe thoughout. Lead singer (and drummer) Jerry Plunk had a great soulful voice and on "Shades of Green" you can hear his wide emotion lead over the speakers.
