When music lovers hear the name Cuba Gooding Sr certain words come to mind: Music, love, melodic, smooth, soulful , handsome.
Born with one of the most distinctive voices in music, Cuba Gooding Sr was regarded by many as one of the standout voices of eloquent soul music! Described as a “gentleman’s vocalist”, Cuba Gooding Sr carved out his own niche as lead vocalist of chart topping hits for the 70s soul group the Main Ingredient. Though the trio was in force and recording before Cuba stepped in to the lead singer’s spot shortly after he joined the group as a background vocalist, The Main Ingredient experienced their greatest chart-topping hits with the smooth lead voice of Cuba Gooding Sr at the helm. Songs like, “Everybody Plays The Fool, “I Just Don’t Wanna Be Lonely”, “Happiness Is Just Around The Bend”, “Rolling Down A Mountain Side”, “Let Me Prove My Love To You”, (which was sampled decades later by multiple Grammy winner Alicia Keys) have continued to keep not only the Main Ingredient but more so, Cuba Gooding Sr a household name amongst the respected alums of the music world!
