The Foundations were a British soul band active from 1967 to 1970, evolving from a group called The Ramong Sound, led by an unnamed individual. The band consisted of eight multi-racial members, including three white Londoners, four West Indians, and a Sri Lankan. They were briefly managed by Fairway and another unnamed manager until Fairway was ousted, leaving Class in charge. The Foundations achieved significant success with their first release, "Baby, Now That I've Found You," which reached number 1. They followed this with "Back On My Feet Again," which peaked at number 18, and "Any Old Time (You're Lonely Or Sad)," which reached number 48. In 1968, the original lead singer and tenor sax player left the group. They continued to find success with Curtis's replacement, lead singer, producing hits such as "Build Me Up Buttercup," which reached number 2 in 1968, and "In The Bad Bad Old Days," which peaked at number 8 in 1969. Their final chart entry was "Born To Live, Born To Die," which reached number 46. The group disbanded towards the end of 1970. Since then, Clem Curtis has performed in a revived version of the group, while another member formed a short-lived version called New Foundations. In later years, Curtis, along with original guitarist Alan Warner, keyboard player, and drummer Andy Bennett, recorded new versions of classic tracks,
