Got to say that this was one of my faves during my very young years. Loved their songs, memorised them, sang them and looked forward to their next hit. The Foundations were actually only active from 1967 to 1970, but they had lots of good songs and their songs were cool as hell… «Baby Now That I’ve Found You» reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart and in Canada. The song was written by Tony Macaulay and John MacLeod. Their other big hit was «Build Me Up Buttercup«, which reached number 2 on the UK lists and number 3 in the US. It was written by Macaulay and Mike d’Abo (vocalist for Manfred Mann). Interestingly, The Foundations was the first multirracial pop group with a number one song during the 1960’s… It could be said that they were Britain’s «Motown» sound group. They recorded only three albums but I still love their songs. Had to include them.
What do you think?

While very familiar with the song, Build Me Up Buttercup, I don’t remember ever hearing of the band. That’s surprising because in those years, I was familiar with most of the rock bands, if not the names of all the members.

It was a short-lived band Pat… but they had at least two big hits. Thank you 🙏🏻. All the best!

Brings back memories Francesc. My first serious girlfriend bought me ‘Baby Now That I Found You’ as a Christmas present.

Great! Glad to hear. I used to really “dig” those two songs of the group. Thanks Malc!

Han sido para mí una sorpresa porque aunque la canción me resulte familiar no los recordaba. Un saludo.

Como fue una banda que solo duró tres años , del 67 al 70, casi nadie ya se acuerda, pero hace poco, en una serie británica, vi una escena donde un personaje puso un antiguo vinilo de The Foundations y me hizo recordar la banda y sus canciones que en otrora me gustaron tanto. Gracias Segundo y un abrazo.
