Law {GA10017} (1975)
Their 1st of 3 LP's from the 70's
{2nd lp from 1977 {breakin' it} is more Funky,
..3rd lp from 1978 is noticeably "Commercially Infected" at that point...lol}
but this one being a little more 'grounded' in 'Straight-Ahead' Rock
GA10017 also being the actual LP catalog #...
{hmm... now i see where 'Yes' stole that idea from..lol}
i'm guessing that the 'unspoken pzazz' of this band, {at the time,}
was that it was an "Interracial Rock Group"
which did occur previously, {Sly, Creation, etc.}
but yet still fairly uncommon for the time,
giving the group the "Soul Rock" label...
in reality, it's just Really Good Straight-Ahead (slightly funky) Rock....

Force Of Nature (1974)
Their 1st of 2 LP's of the 1970's...
Soul Rock mixed with "jazzy spots"
Good Songwriting, even Acknowledged by Stevie Wonder...
{i wouldn't be surprised if Stevie 'had a hand in' the writing of the track: "Thoughts"}
not much info about this Group/LP on the net,...
but i found this review online somewhere,
that also gives a good description of it,: {paraphrased}
"Funky Soul from this obscure Philly combo!
..Force Of Nature has a sound that's alot like {the early days of} Earth Wind & Fire – quite progressive, with lots of jazzy flourishes, and a spiritual message that's pushed with a crossover Soul sound. The album seems to have been cut as a one-off Philly International side project – and it does have involvement from Dexter Wansel and Bunny Sigler, but the overall sound is quite different than the usual Philly groove..."
