The Originals - Portrait Of The Originals (1970)
The group found modest success in the first half of the decade, often working as backup singers for recordings by artists such as Jimmy Ruffin ('What Becomes of the Brokenhearted', 1966) and David Ruffin ('My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)', 1969). The Originals found their biggest success under the guidance of Motown legend Marvin Gaye, who co-wrote and produced two of the group's biggest singles, Baby I'm For Real, and The Bells. Both songs became seminal soul music recordings, and both songs have since been covered. While the group went on to have more modest success in both the soul and disco fields near the end of the decade, including Down To Love Town, a #1 dance chart hit, the songs they made with Marvin Gaye are their most memorable notable.
After the death of Ty Hunter, on February 24, 1981, the group ceased all recordings and broke up about year later. Originals member Joe Stubbs passed away on February 5, 1998. C.P. Spencer followed on October 20, 2004 and then Freddie Gorman on June 13, 2006.
