Influential group
[edit]Perhaps somebody with a background in music criticism could contribute some information about how influential this group was. Its sound melded blues, rock, jazz, and the psychedelic pop of the era in ways that certainly shaped the work of better known bands and soloists. Bloomfield's peerless guitar, Gravenites' unassumingly smooth blues voice (and on some numbers Buddy Miles), and the horn section accomplished complex, multilayered, yet spontaneous-sounding tracks that should be heralded as classics.Daphodyl 16:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
History
[edit]No mention is made of Buddy Miles in the opening paragraph, yet he is cited as a dominant force in the History section. --Mickraus 18:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
The soundtrack for "You Are What You Eat"
[edit]The Electric Flag had several tracks on the popular soundtrack for this train wreck of a movie, released in early 1968, including the culminating song "Freakout". The soundtrack was re-released in 1997, and produced by the very successful producer John Simon. This should definitely be included in this article. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are_What_You_Eat_(film). Msalt (talk) 02:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
