The Foundations – “Build Me Up Buttercup” (1969)

I just felt like hearing & posting this classic soul pop hit by this multi-racial English group. They were one of the most authentic soul acts coming out of England at the time. This song made it to #1 in America (#2 in England) and was used to memorable effect in the 1998 comedy There’s Something About Mary (in the closing credits). This song always sounds great, no matter how many times I hear it. That vocal gets me everytime.
