Biography

(1967 – 1970)

The Foundations were a British soul band, active from 1967 to 1970. The group, made up of both West Indians and Caucasians, is best-remembered for their two biggest hits,

Baby, Now That I’ve Found You (a No. 1 hit in the UK singles chart, and subsequently Top 10 in the US); and

Build Me Up Buttercup (a chart topper in the Billboard Hot 100), co-written by Michael d’Abo, vocalist with Manfred Mann. They are also notable for being one of the few acts not on the Tamla Motown label to use successfully what became known as the Motown Sound. In terms of line-up and musical style, they anticipated the sound of the more successful Hot Chocolate.
