The first interracial band from the UK and they were simply fabulous. Musicians have a lesson to teach the world... Music is color blind and people better catch up.
Such wonderful live footage - the lead singer's pitchiness, oddly enough, is what makes it so special (lovely tone to his voice though). This is real and raw, with actual instruments - just how music should be - unlike today's fake autotune ...
Live vocals over a pre-recorded backing track. Very hard to sing to (or for the musicians to mime to!) with very low volume "fold-back" in the studio. Not surprising he's a little pitchy!
Standard on this & many other TV shows of the time was a prerecorded isolated musical track over which the vocalists would sing live before the cameras. Awkward at best, may explain what you're describing you hear.
This song & "Build Me Up Buttercup and others I heard and fell in love with on My 1st job being Married in 1972 as I worked at a Bowling Alley. It was a Good time and place for me.
Most Americans never heard of him, but I remember hearing about him after he died. I just read his wikipedia page. He was a psychopath of the worst kind. Sickening.
Classic. Timeless. This group, these musicians had no idea at the time, how popular this song would be for eons to come. Just wonderful. You cannot listen and not sing along. Anyone who knows this song knows the words and the melody and the horns. :)
William, alot of these great bands were a big part of my life growing up in the 60's Including Motown, Yes I loved the classic rock and stll do, but I also loved all of the other bands also, Foundations, Four Tops, and so on...Great Music and Talent from the 60's no one today can come close to them!!!
'Looking for somebody, to give me love like you' I was 12 yrs. Old & singing this to the girls in JHS. They thought i wascrazy & i still am - about this song.
This was the music I recall listening to on pub juke -boxes when I was in my first year, legally to be served by the bar. The Foundations were a wonderful example of the vast amount of hits at the time that still get plenty of airtime today. The 1965 to 1980 was a lucky time to live in the UK; In 1967 when this was in the charts life seemed safer and the future we were told brighter. Who have thought 55 years hence we would have todays complex and unhappy society. While most in this clip now would be well in their 70s, and may look back with pride.
Great song! I remember those days like yesterday. There was a time when a sax-player was no option for a band, but a Must, which made many songs so special, to have a brass section.
I love this music, it's my parents generation. This was so simple and great. I was born in 1972 and was lucky to grow upon this stuff plus all the music I loved in the 80s/90s also
Buenas y santas, esta musica nunca nunca dejará de escucharse de cualquier manera. Tengo varios discos de ellos pero mi giradisco no funciona y me conformo con escucharlo por este medio. A pesar que no estan todos sus temas difundidos. Exelente travajo del canal. Hoy con mis 73 pirulos me sigo emocionando con los recuerdos junto a mi novia. Hoy mi esposa gace 53 años.
Yes! It was so wonderfully unique when it came out. The descending bass line, the horns and backup vocals “da-da-da daaah”-ing, and Clem Curtis’ wonderful, slightly breaking up tone. It *really* stuck to me when it came out over half a century ago!
Baby, now that I've found you I can't let you go I'll build my world around you I need you so Baby, even though you don't need me Baby, baby, since first we met (doot-doot) I knew in this heart of mine (I wanna tell you, doot-doot) The love we had could not be bad (doot-doot) Play it right and bide my time Spent a lifetime looking for somebody To give me love like you Now you've told me that you wanna leave me Darling, I just can't let you.
Wow I remember that sound coming through my am transistor radio. That blonde dude at the beginning looked like what I believed a person in the future would have looked like back in 1967. I was only seven.
🥀Amazing song I love it! My sister's use to play this song all the time they were older than me but I love these song's. One of the best I've heard in year's🥀☝️🥀
Strange how some tunes instantly evoke a memory........I was in the back seat of a hire car with three pals coming back from Earls Court Motor Show to Bristol. We had agreed to take it in turns to drive, being as how it was a new car and we were all about 20, so looking forward to it. But............I had the shits and didn't dare get up from the back seat 'cos that was all that was holding it in, so I didn't get my turn to drive, Story of my life.
Lead singer appears influenced by either Levi or Joe Stubbs (or both), phenomenal lead vocals way over and beyond the backgrounds. Imagine how much bigger this group would have benefitted with Motown's Originals back there?

Good stuff. His key is fine it's the bg that's off. It might be because they can't hear one-another. Sometimes happens when you actually sing without monitors or autotune and play real instruments.
Music Man - I think your right, the lead vocalist is singing live and in key and the backing vocals are also live and slightly flat, it's still a great tune and I always prefer live vocals over lip synch 👍
@@robmac6508 I couldn't agree with you more. Live is best - if the person can sing that is. In this case, the bg have no monitors so they can't hear how off they are, especially if those horns are playing live. The lead hit a few clams too. Still and all a wonderful experience.
It's a great shame that Jimmy Saville was as provenant as he was back in the day. I'd love to watch this without having to see one of history's most recent monsters introducing one of the most beautiful songs of all time
The first interracial band from the UK and they were simply fabulous. Musicians have a lesson to teach the world... Music is color blind and people better catch up.
Pervert saville
They were the second interracial band from the UK The EQAULS we’re the first
@@johnhall1504 with Eddy Grant
Yes and in 1967 seems like yesterday
Agree with you 100%

the unmistakable brilliant live voice of Clem Curtis..RIP 😢..a classic!
geraldine dunne I love this song so mcuh
Geraldine Dunn it's bloody terrible seriously
Clem had a real soulful voice !
Reminds me of David Ruffin
This is one of the best songs in the history of music.
How right you are !
It's special for me. It was No.1 when I was born.
Next to Build me up Buttercup 😁
I agree. Good taste.
Absolutely. Dreamy genius song. Like from God.
What a lovely voice. Just transports to a beautiful, more hopeful world
This song & "Build Me Up Buttercup and others I heard and fell in love with on My 1st job being Married in 1972 as I worked at a Bowling Alley. It was a Good time and place for me.
Another timeless hit by one of the greatest bands ,,love the Foundations !
I felt sick to my stomach seeing evil Jimmy introducing. Of course in those days we had no idea just how bad it was with Saville.
Most Americans never heard of him, but I remember hearing about him after he died. I just read his wikipedia page. He was a psychopath of the worst kind. Sickening.
Wonder where Jimmy is at right now. 🔥🔥
Me too matey..take that pervert..off this video..he should have edited it
@@ClintonOrtiz in effing ell I ope
@@richardk6659 yah I just heard about him a couple months ago
The transcendent dulcet tones of Clem Curtis.
Soul music is so enjoyable for anyone who has half an ear.

As a kid from the NYC suburbs. I can recall Cousin Bruce-y announcing this tune on WABC.
Great memories ! I was 14 in 67.
I was born when this song got to
No. 1
He is singing live here to an instrumental backing track .great voice mabee british answer to ben e.king?
'Looking for somebody, to give me love like you' I was 12 yrs. Old & singing this to the girls in JHS. They thought i wascrazy & i still am - about this song.
I was 18 and enjoying life and this song reminds me that the world was a better place
Always love these guys as a child and still God Blessed us with the foundations
I loved this song when it came out. Thanks for the memories.
The foundations created some amazing music.
Magnificent Masterpiece, very beautiful piece of legendary music
Wow! When your'e in love, all these great songs just fit right in..

Great song I remember from those says. I often find myself singing this song to myself after all these decades.
This was So popular at our High School dances.
I love this music, it's my parents generation. This was so simple and great. I was born in 1972 and was lucky to grow upon this stuff plus all the music I loved in the 80s/90s also
I grew up in the 90's, but mostly on 60's music. Courtesy of the old KRTH 101.
Bad ass
Same. I was born in 1979, and I feel lucky to be raised on wonderful music like this
Thank you to the Parents
Nice to see an actual live performance, not a lip-sync event!
Buenas y santas, esta musica nunca nunca dejará de escucharse de cualquier manera. Tengo varios discos de ellos pero mi giradisco no funciona y me conformo con escucharlo por este medio. A pesar que no estan todos sus temas difundidos. Exelente travajo del canal. Hoy con mis 73 pirulos me sigo emocionando con los recuerdos junto a mi novia. Hoy mi esposa gace 53 años.
Love 60s music the best although I love all music except for rap but 60s music is my very favorite of all time music !
remarkable to get an actual live vocal track from 1967.
Yes.
Love these guys. Great bass player, looks like Jeff Beck!
Que onderos los jóvenes de 1967..que buenos look...feliz habría vivido en esa época !...la canción es buenísima...
I love this song so much..

Rest In Peace brother Clem! 😢
More,..great songs..
From the 60's....
Clem Curtis is from my homeland Trinidad
T&T?
Baby, now that I've found you
I can't let you go
I'll build my world around you
I need you so
Baby, even though you don't need me
Baby, baby, since first we met (doot-doot)
I knew in this heart of mine (I wanna tell you, doot-doot)
The love we had could not be bad (doot-doot)
Play it right and bide my time
Spent a lifetime looking for somebody
To give me love like you
Now you've told me that you wanna leave me
Darling, I just can't let you.
This is music history, i was in my pampers when this was on air.................GREAT
I hope you were an infant.
Wow I remember that sound coming through my am transistor radio. That blonde dude at the beginning looked like what I believed a person in the future would have looked like back in 1967. I was only seven.
Great memories, I was only 11 yrs old
I saw them at wdw Epcot center. Concerts there short and sweet, just hit, hit, hit and done.
great song!
So wonderful even now during the year 2020!
Yes, for sure.

@@mackereltacos2850 No problem. You were eventually ten years old and you found out that the music of the 60s was great!
what a song and a tune,dont make them like this anymore .........brilliant
Jimmy pervert should not of been seen or heard in the interduction of this song by the great foundations great song.
But imagine the other millionaire/billionaire perverts out there. They get away with it because of money. We still have sex slavery too.
Tooo rite wy was hee I forward it
This is some of the Good Stuff..... elementary school memories of my big brother playing records.... Thanks for posting this.
Absolutely fabulous band!!
the vocals were live
Favorite song ever. Is Butter Cup.

Great great song. Dreamy song.
Unmistakably Britain's version of "Tower Of Power" and "Blood, Sweat & Tears".
Good one!
Groundbreaking band.

I always thought that man Jimmy Saville was an awful creepy bloke.. 1967 I left school and this song played everywhere
60s forevr!
Right on !
Great song, but couldn't you have cut the first 25 seconds?
I liked that it wasn't lip-synched.
Good song!
Love it!
It was the intermission at clubs back then...but still great.
Brought to you the royal families best friend Jimmy Saville
That ridiculous hairstyle was his Royal Crown. If anyone breathes a word of complaint about him they lose their job.
Jimmy Saville closely resembles an Albino Oompah Loompah from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
You are right, Meschell. Hey do you live close to the pacific ocean? Edit: "c"
@@mikediamond353 I live smack dab out here in the desert. Phoenix, Arizona.
@@meschelllaroche2990 I'll be in Tempe in one month! See you soon!
My cousin Rick from 20th Green dance to this song in 1968 so cool
Clem Curtis is still performing, still got it, but whats Tony Gomesz doing these days, anybody know ?
Might be a relative so would love to know too!
According to the info, he used to be a boxer. Yet, he somehow bares a resemblance to slim looking
Mike Tyson.
Or is it just me?
Bubblegum Soul. Marvellous!
