Rastus az Ohio állambeli Clevelandből származott, és korábban a 60-as évek végén The Fifth Amendmentként ismerték (később The Sixth Amendmentra változtatták nevüket, amikor újabb tagok érkeztek a csapathoz). A Rastus egy népszerű jazz-rock zenekar volt Chicago és Tower Of Power stílusában. Két albumot rögzített, dicséretes kritikákat kapott, és nagy rajongótábora volt, mígnem a sok személyi változás után végül feloszlott a hetvenes évek végén.
