The 17-minute funky title track "Ma" opens the sixth studio album with the provocative smirk cover - and Rare Earth show once again that long tracks and "Temptation" remakes are their specialty
After the previous album "Willi Remembers", which consisted exclusively of original compositions by the band members, the band again relied on the expertise of an experienced producer: the songs were all written by Motown icon Norman Whitfield and his longtime collaborator Barrett Strong
This move brought the rock/funk band back to its usual success, with the album selling millions of copies and reminiscent of the good times on the dance floors of the 70s
