Description
The history of The Roots is more extensive and far more interesting than that of most modern bands. From their mid-'90s start in Philadelphia as underground proponents of the neo-soul movement, to their current gig as the house band for NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the soul-rock-rap fusion group have grown from being a band of musician's musicians into a widely recognized staple of American popular culture. With 10 critically acclaimed studio albums under their belt, The Roots have taken to making collaborative albums in recent years--working with the likes of Elvis Costello, Betty Wright and Sufjan Stevens.
