The Meters
New Orleans funk originators.
The Meters.
About The artist
The Meters never achieved the mainstream success of James Brown or Parliament-Funkadelic, although their contributions to the creation and development of the funk genre were just as important. They were well-regarded among other music artists, and played as the backing band for Paul McCartney, Robert Palmer, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and others.
Members:
Art Neville, George Porter Jr., Leo Nocentelli, Zigaboo Modeliste, Cyril Neville

Mick Jagger was so impressed by the Meters upon seeing them perform at a record release party for Paul McCartney that he invited them to open for the Rolling Stones during their 1975 and 1976 tours.
