Nat Turner Rebellion (sometimes written as The Nat Turner Rebellion) was an American funk-soul band from Philadelphia. Their line up consisted of band leader Joseph Jefferson, lead singer Major Harris, and instrumentalists Bill Spratley and Ron Hopper.[1] The band was formed in the 1960s in Petersburg, Virginia by Jefferson and recorded in Philadelphia for the label Philly Groove Records. Though most of their material was never released while the band was together, their recordings were eventually added Drexel University's sound archives and were officially released in 2019 by the university's student-run label MAD Dragon Records.
