I'd just like to add G.C. Cameron to this list. If you recognize him from anything it'd be the original version of "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday" from Cooley High. But before Phillip Wynne, he was the original lead of the Spinners (It's A Shame) and the guy had an amazing voice that Motown dropped the ball with several times. | |
