Wonderful video--thanks so much for posting it. Main Ingredient was a beautiful group, thanks to Cuba Gooding. My favorite song--I Just Don't Want to be Lonely. Instrumentals & Percussion create a haunting atmosphere for this song. Background vocals a lament, reminiscent of the background vocals for Percy Sledge's When A Man Loves a Woman.
Cuba Gooding, Sr. has to be the best R&B singer from the 70's. "Everybody Plays The Fool" was an international smash. A song that leaves you sadder if you already sad. To love and play the fool is never easy. It's so sad.
Wow...so sad. Poor guy lost his voice. He sings like an old man. Oh yeah...I guess it's because he's old now.

Cuba Gooding was not the orignal lead singer of The Main Ingredient. He took over when Donald McPherson died of Leukemia.
Good to know!
