G.C. Cameron, born on September 21, 1945, in Jackson, Mississippi, is a soul-funk singer and songwriter. After serving in the Vietnam War with the Marines, he joined the Motown act The Spinners as lead singer. Cameron sang both lead parts on their first major hit, 1970's "It's a Shame," co-written and produced by the group. He remained with Motown as a solo artist when The Spinners left the label in 1971. Although he was not a major seller for Motown, he achieved success with "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," the theme song for the 1975 film Cooley High, which was later covered by others. After leaving Motown in the late 1970s, Cameron toured as an independent artist and recorded a critically acclaimed album for Malaco Records in 1983. His career saw a revival in 1989 through recordings for British record companies Ardent and Motorcity. From 2000 to 2002, he returned to The Spinners and also recorded another solo album. In 2003, Cameron replaced Barrington "Bo" Henderson as one of the lead singers of The Temptations, contributing to their album "Reflections." He sang lead on the track "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," which was nominated for a Grammy in 2007. Cameron left The Temptations in June 2007 to focus on his group
