The Originals found their biggest success under the guidance of Motown legend Marvin Gaye, who co-wrote and produced two of the group's biggest singles, "Baby I'm For Real", and "The Bells". Both songs became seminal soul music recordings, and both songs have since been covered: 1990s R&B group After 7 re-recorded "Baby I'm For Real" and made it a hit again in 1992, while another 1990s R&B group Color Me Badd re-recorded "The Bells" for one of their albums.
While the group went on to have more modest success in both the soul and disco fields near the end of the decade, including "Down To Love Town," a #1 dance chart hit, the songs they made with Marvin Gaye are their most memorable notable.
2. The Originals were a short-lived ska band from the United Kingdom, best known for their track 'No One Like You', which was in fact released under their previous name The Volecanoes but became best known as an Originals song. Later incarnation's of the band, led by bassist Arthur Kay, were called Arthur Kay & The Originals or Arthur Kay's Originals.
3. The Originals were an alter ego of The Champs, known for their 1958 hit Tequila,

Baby I'm For Real
The Originals Lyrics
Baby
You don't understand
How much I love you baby
And how much I wanna be your only man
And you know, darling
You don't have to go
I want you stay a little while longer
I wanna talk to you just a little more
Baby I'm for real
I see those tears in your eyes
And I know you are wondering
Baby, baby
You don't understand
How much I love you baby
How much I wanna be your only man
Oh baby
Baby, baby, baby
You don't have to go
Stay a little while longer, baby
I wanna talk to you just a little more
I see the little tears in your eyes
About to fall
You are wondering if I'm falling
But if you cry, I wonder why you cry
I tell you, know why this is how I feel
Oh baby, baby I'm for real
Baby, I'm here
Baby, I'm here

Real instruments, real music, you can feel the passion behind these songs. Those people sang from their hearts. They sang about LOVE!!! Searching for it, having it, appreciating it.. because after all isn’t that what we all want?
Chris Williams
Yes when love songs and Ballard was a thing slow dancing and just pure emotion and connection
Deborah Minor
It’s always a sad if you lose love. Because you will never get it back!!
John Adams
And sometimes, losing it

Wish I had a woman to dedicate this song to,it's definitely one of my all time favorites.I'd turn the lights down low,light the candles,pour the wine,and pull my lady close,as I let her know my love for her is for real! :)

I was falling in love with this man but shockingly found out later that he was married with 2 kids. Of course, I broke up with him. Then he handed me this 45 rpm disc and played it at home. I was crying listening to it and thinking...liar liar! I threw the disc and moved on.
