The Originals - God Bless Whoever Sent You

[MsTburch]

Just heard this on Soultown XM after probably over 30 years....it bought shivers down my spine.

[mrjoshjones1]

4 of the most handsome,talented and severly underrated singers ever to grace

a Motown recording studio.

I get chills when I listen to this record over and over and over, always have, always will.

[angieinjun]

perfect perfect lyrics...... i cant get tired of this song...it hits me deep down

[Cunnydial1]

Oldies but Goodies at its best....its been a long time since i heard this one, really miss Radio 2 in Jamaica but glad for Cool97FM.

[hi32190]

i had this 45 record from the 80 when i migrated upuntil day have this record n more memories is make of music like where are the good music gone;it remind me of my day growing up in jamaica

[mrjoshjones1]

The lead order went like this:

ALL

1-Hank Dixon 1st verse

2-Walter Gaines 2nd verse (Bad-Ass right up there with Marvin Jr of the Dells)

3- C.P. Spencer

4- Freddie Gorman

5- C.P.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

@mrjoshjones1 Thank you - great to know who's singing. These guys are unreal singers. Walter Gaines is a total bad-ass got that killer bite to his voice. Love "Wait For You" with his lead.

[mrjoshjones1]

Hope to host an Original show very soon, keep you posted,

Agree, Walter's dominating style of "sangin" gets to the point!

Closest I ever heard to Marvin Jr (closer than Teddy Pendergrass).

@mrjoshjones1 RIP, Walter Gaines.

[mrjoshjones1]

@unclekipper I recently heard about his passing,it was overlooked in the mainstream news.

There will never be another era with the ultra-talent that existed during Walter Gaines' and

the Originals presence, the singing, the songwriting nor the performances,

[IBumpg]

I had tonnes of these albums way back when. Butterflies, yes. What lyrics. Superbly sung indeed!

[tcauley3]

This song has one of the best lyric lines ever written in a song. When he says "Honey what I found in you I ain't found in anyone else. And if the man above made anything better he kept it for himself. What a great lyric.

[Cunnydial1]

I love it, i love it, i just can't stop loving it, lol ohh what a sweet song!

[mackfielder]

Sweet. So sweet!

[qmersh]

Can't get much deeper than this! Great and love it

[The022450]

Love this song! Thank you for posting this!

[mrjoshjones1]

This record always reminded me of a

Smokey Robinson composition, fella

confessing his love, with 4 part leads.

The Originals had such limited material

until Marvin Gaye produced them.

I think he chose to work with them due

to their great singing abilites, right up there vocally with the Spinners and the

Tempts.

[realcyclist2002]

God Bless Whoever Sent You is a pure classic like no other what ever happen to the harmonic groups?

If the Man above made anything better,He kept it for Himself...Yes

[johnglefler]

Oh yea. This song is SO great! I used to go down to Cobo Hall in Detroit and see the Motown Review. The Originals, Temptations, and many others for less than 10 bucks. Good friends of mine (The Hymes Sisters) were "blue-eyed" soul and I just ordered their remastered "Walking Around The Town". Thanks for the trip back to Motown.

[skwidwriter]

Thanks so much for posting. I don't have a turntable anymore, but still have it on vinyl that I haven't heard in years. What a great song. Just soaring.

[memalephyudth]

this was my favorite song by them thanks for uploading it.

[userneedsname]

While listening to XM Radio's Soulstreet channel this morning, I heard this song played. Then I realized that I haven't heard this song on any radio station since I was a preteen in the early 70's. I thank you and XM for the memories.
