Wikipedia:
The Foundations were a British soul band, their background being: West Indian, White British and Sri Lankan. They were the first multi-racial group to have a number one hit in the UK in the 1960s. The Foundations were one of the few British acts to successfully imitate what became known as the Motown Sound.
After a split involving members of the original group, two bands emerged: The Foundations and The New Foundations.
Build Me Up Buttercup was 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.
The song was released in Australia with ‘New Foundations’ as the group name on the record label.
