Description
Formed in 1966, The Originals worked as studio backup singers at
Motown and featured on tracks such as What Becomes Of The
Broken Hearted by Jimmy Ruffin, For Once In My Life by Stevie
Wonder and Edwin Starrs politically fuelled jam, War.
The
original Originals were made up of four singers, the group's baritone
and founder Walter Gaines, tenors Hank Dixon and C.P. Spencer (an
original member of The Spinners) and also bass singer, Freddie
Gorman, who was one of the writers of Please Mr. Postman.
In the
late 60s, under the guidance and writing expertise of Al Green, The
Originals scored two of their biggest hits early in their career with
Baby I'm For Real and the Gold certified, The Bells.
Down To Love Town was the groups eighth album for Motown and
was released in 1977.
Produced by Michael Sutton and the Originals
The album opens with intent on the horn and wah-wah led
Disco/Soul stomper Hurry Up And Wait before making way for the
title track and only single from the album. Down To Love Town
(Disco #1/Pop #47) was originally included on their 1976 album
Communique and became a true Disco classic with an incredible and
impassioned lead vocal from Freddy Gorman's tenor/baritone, as he
demands everybody join him in Love Town.
