Yes, quite an oddity for Motown ... I'm familiar with the
Michael Denton version as it is on one of the TCMS CDs but I'm
not sure if I've ever owned a copy of that "Portrait Of The
Originals" LP.
"Just Another Morning" actually reminds me of "Love Years
Coming" by The Strawberry Children from 1967 which came from the
same production team as those 5th Dimension hits. "Love Years
Coming" was written by Jimmy Webb and he was rumoured to be
singing on it ... I wonder if it was one of the songs that he
walked away from Motown with ... wouldn't that be an amusing
thought. :)

The Strawberry Children song is new to me. Pretty but not
really memorable. I don't own any CD's by the Originals other
than a 'best of'. They are a group that has always been a
mystery to me!

Hi I have 3 CDs by The Originals think they were Japanese
releases and a best of. They did some odd tracks but then they
did some great tracks, I love their vocal harmonies.

Very mysterious indeed, I get the impression that Motown used
them more as "session singers" than as a conventional group.
"Green Grow The Lilacs" was another "sunshine pop" tune that
sounded more like something that The Association might have
recorded than a "Motown" effort.

Hmm! Not a fan of Green Grow The Lilacs, but still like the
vocals. Would be great if they released all their albums on CD.

:D :D :D very true Humboldt.
On another note The Originals released a few albums after they
left Motown 'Another Time, Another Place', 'Come Away With Me'
and 'Yesterday and Today' has anyone heard them, are they any
good?
