Motherlode

Motherlode was a Canadian pop rock group formed in 1969 in London, Ontario. They were one AfroCanadian and three whitemen. The group scored some success in the US with their single, "When I Die", which hit #1 in Canada and #18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969. The group did not have a bass guitarist. William Smith would play the bass notes on his keyboard. They did however use bass players on their studio recordings. The act remains a one-hit wonder despite two more singles in the top 100 in Canada.
