Im African American too and simply loved "Midnight At The Oasis" I always looked forward to seeing Maria Maldour in the 70s with her curly sexy hair. That guitar solo is amazing and sort of played outside the key signature which was unusual for top 40 radio but it worked well. It was clear those players were jazz musicians. I really miss melody harmony and rythym in a song. I walk by car radios today and hear mostly repetitive junk thats ok for dancing but nothing to sit down and listen to.

I don't know how many African Americans might know who she is, but I'll tell you what; this lady and her song Midnight at the Oasis, brought many smiles to my life when I was a child. I love the song! I loved it then and still do. Now, my 9 year old loves the song. She loves hearing all about life in the 70's and the wonderful feelings that this song evoked. I just want Mari Muldaur to know that her music transcended races, and now generations too. I smile inside to this day when I hear the song.
