Cuba Gooding, Sr. (born April 27, 1944) is the lead singer of the soul group The Main Ingredient, most notable for its two biggest hits, "Everybody Plays the Fool" (1972) and "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely" (1974). Gooding also had a brief solo career on Motown Records during the late-1970s and early-1980s. His biggest international success was Brian Auger's "
Happiness Is Just Around the Bend" in 1983, which has in recent times been sampled by several R&B artists, as well as hitting the charts again as a remix by UK Hardcore Rave group Altern-8 in 1991. Father of actor Cuba Gooding Jr., his huge underground pre-electro/disco smash came out on Streetwise Records US/London records UK, and was produced by Arthur Baker . The !2" had that ALL IMPORTANT accapella, which most DJ's with a clue used in the early days of house music. Nightmares On Wax (Warp Records UK) used this Cuba Gooding record on their international dance smash '
Aftermath'. to great effect.
