Dear Soul Tracks Readers:

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for all the love and support shown me by the wonderful fans of this incredible group. It is truly a blessing to be able to allow people to feel the joy we feel through music. As with the Spinners, my solo performances, and now with the legendary Temps, it has always been my goal to bring to fans the kind of musical entertainment that will keep you content and make you feel as special as you have made me feel. A big "up" to you, Chris, as well for giving me the opportunity on SoulTracks.com to speak to lovers of soul music all over the globe through this wonder called the net. I'm just getting use to it, but I can see it is the future and the way to keep alive the music we love.

Mississippi native G.C. Cameron first came to national attention in the late 60s as the lead singer for the Spinners. His plaintive wailing on the group's first major hit, "It's A Shame," seemed to announce to the world that a new supergroup was born. However, to call them new was a misperception, as they had paid more dues to get to that point than any other group at Motown (read more about the story of the Spinners). Unfortunately, while "It's A Shame" provided the currency the Spinners needed to leave Motown for what would be a monumental decade at Atlantic, G.C. was contractually and maritally bound to Motown (he was married to Berry Gordy's sister Gwen). He stayed for the remainder of the 70s with the label, but never received the material or promotion his great voice deserved (though he recorded a wonderful version of the now classic "Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday").
