Gruppen är främst känd för låtarna "Baby, Now That I've Found You" (1967) och "Build Me Up Buttercup" (1968). Gruppen väckte också uppmärksamhet genom att medlemmarna var av många olika nationaliteter. Detta var ovanligt på 1960-talet. The Foundations upplöstes 1970. Clem Curtis kör fortfarande de gamla låtarna under gruppnamnet . (sv)
