1. The … Read Full Bio ↴There have been mat least three groups called The Originals.
1. The Originals were a successful Motown R&B and soul group during the 1960s and 1970s.
The group found modest success in the first half of the decade, often working as backup singers for recordings by artists such as Jimmy Ruffin ("What Becomes of the Broken Hearted", 1966) and David Ruffin ("My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)", 1969). 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.

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.

The Originals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Young hearts, you gotta rock with it, roll with it
Young hearts, you gotta rock with it, roll with it
Young hearts, you gotta rock with it, roll with it
Young hearts, don't let this world turn cold
Remember your goal
You can if you believe it
Gives thanks the goodness in life
Don't waste your time on the bad
Your mind is what you make it
Your turn, yours when you take it
Take it, take it
Take the only way out
From under is up and away
Take the only way out
Try your wings today
Hey, lost and lonely, you think you're the only one
Life has ever let down
Life is a lone endeavour
Mistakes don't last forever
Heartache did scratch but a small part of life
Maybe the rain must fall
In time, the rain that's falling
You'll find your dreams are calling to try again
Take the only way out
From under is up and away
Take the only way out
Try your wings today
What's the mountain but the valley
How it reaches to the sky
Soon you too will pull through
And spread your wings
And find out you can fly
Just believe it
Try, you can achieve it
Take the only way out
From under is up and away
Take the only way out
Try your wings today
Take the only way out
From under is up and away
Take the only way out
Try your wings today
