The Tribe was a funk/disco band consisting of keyboardist/vocalist Earl Foster Jr., guitarist Edward Romias, bassist Robert Apodaga, drummer Benton Miles Little, and violinist Gelon Lau. They issued two albums on ABC , Ethnic Stew and Tribal Bumpin', over 1974-1975; both sold respectably, with the former reaching the Top 50 on the R&B album charts. They subsequently switched over to Farr for the 1976 12" single "Share It," and released another album, Dedication, in 1977.
