Build Me Up Buttercup Cover Carol

"Build Me Up Buttercup" is the name of a pop song written by Mike d'Abo and Tony Macaulay, and released by The Foundations with Colin Young singing the lead vocals in 1968. This was the third major hit for The Foundations. Colin Young replaced Clem Curtis in 1968 and this was the first Foundations hit on which he sang. It reached number 2 on the UK charts and number 3 in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1969, where it stayed for 11 weeks. It was re-recorded in or around the late 1980s when original Foundations members Clem Curtis and Alan Warner teamed up to recut this as well as other hits of The Foundations.[1] In 2003, Colin Young recorded an updated version of the song backed by a choir of policemen from the Surrey police force. The proceeds from the sale of the CD go to Milly's Fund. The fund is a trust set up in memory of murdered school girl Amanda Dowler. Apparently the song was a favourite of hers.[2] DISCLAIMER: The karaoke backing track and pictures used in the video are copyrighted to the respective owners. No infringement is intended.
