I have been looking for live recordings of The Originals for years and this is the first I have ever seen. There is a nice lip sync video from Soul Train and one or two others but this is the first Originals performance with all of the original hey day members. A little past their prime and the harmonies are not as tight as the recordings but nothing a little rehearsal and re-orchestration wouldn't fix for maturing vocal chords. This is not a criticism just a comparison to the magic that these gentlemen captured on their recordings that just doesn't seem humanly possible. Thank you Eric Iverson for sharing. Please tell me you have more hidden gems in bag.
There is a fourth member that sung with the Originals and his name is Tyrone Hunter may his soul rest in peace he had filled in.a short for C.P Spencer
Thanks so much for posting this, i've always thought that they were an underrated group at Motown, four beautiful and distinct voices and together they made so much great music. Even though the quality of the video isn't great( not a complaint, just an observation) the great harmony and individuality of their voices shines through. Thanks again, lovely to have seen some film of them live.
Wow😔, growing up never seen my dad perform. May he RIH (Freddie Gorman), along Walter Gaines & CP Spencer🙏🏽🕊
I just love this group. I'm in my 70s now. Green grow the lilacs, we've got a way out love. Just brilliant, Motown at its best.

Always loved this group. Someone made a comment The Dells copy The Originals. Just the opposite . Stay in my corner came before Baby I'm for real.
