Jim from Morgantown, WvGo to YouTube and do a search for Julia Nunes.Does anyone out there know? Anyway, I remember seeing photos & an article about The Foundations in Song Hits magazine back in 1968 and wondered if they were from England since their teeth looked so poorly. Or could it be just poor recording production? Guess we'll never know for sure. So I listened to it on a CD compilation of Golden Oldies & it actually does sound strange. Someone said the lead singer on the record sounds like his voice is shakey. Bubblesk from Memphis, TnWhat a fab song from 1968! Loved it when I saw the movie "There's Something About Mary" too cause it brought back a lot of memories.Great show, saw the premier in Cocoa Florida.

Louis Park, MnBuild Me Up, Buttercup is also played at Angels Stadium during the seventh inning stretch. I wonder if any of The Foundations are still alive? The Sixties were way way way back there! I also love their other big one, "Baby Now That I Found You". I got the song on a later 60s hits compilation CD & the vocalist's wavering voice is still on there! Guess I'm not crazy after all. It is in my Dad' s record collection of 50s and 60s singles & that's where I heard it from when I grew up in the late 90s. What caused it? I'm not going batty am I? No. ![]() ![]() I agree with Bubblesk (Memphis TN) on that. And I swear that I too notice a wavering in the lead singer's voice on this song. Today (01-16-15) I heard this song on the radio again.
