From the label that brought you Dyke and the Blazers and Barry White's first single (a version of "In The Ghetto" under the name Gene West but that's another post isn't it?) is an anthem stating that soul isn't about skin color... Featuring a nice funky groove and some great lyrics, "I'm not black, I'm not white, I'm in the middle, I'm just right" this was a really good find that doesn't turn up too often.
As far as I know this is one of several groups that used the name Zapata in the 60's and 70's and I do not believe this is the same group that did the classic cover of "Do Your Thing" by Isaac Hayes (also another post.)
