'''Mother's Finest''' is an American [[funk rock]] band founded in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], by the vocal duo of [[Joyce Kennedy (singer)|Joyce "Baby Jean" Kennedy]] and Glenn "Doc" Murdock in 1970 when the pair met up with guitarist Gary "Moses Mo" Moore and bassist Jerry "Wyzard" Seay. Their music is a blend of funky rhythms, heavy rock guitars and expressive soul/R&B-style vocals.

The group charted with the singles "Fire" (No. 93 [[Billboard Hot 100|Pop Singles]]), "Baby Love" (No. 79 Black Singles, No.&nbsp;58 Pop Singles), "Don't Wanna Come Back" (No. 54 Black Singles), "Love Changes" (No. 26 Black Singles), and "Piece of the Rock" in the mid- to late 1970s.
