The Foundations songs

"Baby, Now That I've Found You" is a song written by Tony Macaulay and John MacLeod. Part of the song was written in the same bar of a Soho tavern where Karl Marx is supposed to have written Das Kapital. The lyrics are a plea that an unnamed subject not break up with the singer.

"Born To Live, Born To Die" was the last charting single for The Foundations. It made it to number 46 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1969. It was written by Foundations trombone player Eric Allandale and The Foundations. The B-side was composed by the group's organist Tony Gomez.

"Build Me Up Buttercup" is a song written by Mike d'Abo and Tony Macaulay, and released by The Foundations in 1968 with Colin Young singing lead vocals. Young had replaced Clem Curtis during 1968 and this was the first Foundations hit on which he sang.

"That Same Old Feeling" is the title of a pop song composed by John Macleod and Tony Macaulay which in 1970 was a Top Ten UK hit for Pickettywitch, an English band fronted by Polly Brown. In the US the Pickettywitch single vied with a rival version by The Fortunes, with both versions scoring well-enough regionally to reach the Top 70 of the Hot 100, the national hit parade maintained by Billboard magazine.

Take A Girl LIke You is a song by The Foundations. It was used as the title theme song for the 1970 Jonathan Miller directed film Take a Girl Like You that starred Hayley Mills and Oliver Reed. The B side of the single "Im Gonna Be A Rich Man" was written by Foundations lead singer Colin Young.

"I Can Take or Leave Your Loving" is a song written by Rick Jones and performed by Herman's Hermits. It reached #1 in Canada, #11 in United Kingdom, #19 in New Zealand, #22 in the United States, and #37 in Australia in 1968.

"96 Tears" is a song recorded by the American garage rock band, Question Mark & the Mysterians (also known as "? and the Mysterians"), in 1966. In October of that year, it was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and on the RPM 100 in Canada. Billboard ranked the record as the number five song for the year 1966. It is ranked number 213 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. On November 11, 1966 the single was certified as gold by the RIAA.

"Solomon Grundy" is a song written by Eric Allandale, a member of the English Multi-racial group The Foundations. The song is loosely based on "Solomon Grundy", the 19th century children's nursery rhyme. It appeared on their 1969 Digging The Foundations album that featured the hit single "In the Bad Bad Old Days (Before You Loved Me)", and it was the B side of their minor American hit single "My Little Chickadee". The singer pronounces it "Solomon Grandy" throughout the song, even though it foils the rhyme. It was also released as a single by Hong Kong beat group Danny Diaz & The Checkmates and it was the song that first brought Polly Brown & Pickettywitch to notice when they appeared on ITV's Opportunity Knocks television talent show. It was also the B side of Pickettywitch's 1969 debut single "You Got Me So I Don't Know".

"Any Old Time (You're Lonely and Sad)" was the third single for The Foundations. It reached number 48 on the UK Singles Chart. It was the last single they released with Clem Curtis as their lead singer. Their next single with lead singer Colin Young would give them a bigger hit with "Build Me Up Buttercup".

"My Little Chickadee" was the last chart entry for The Foundations. It was a minor hit in the US in 1969. It was not released as a single in the UK.
