G. C. Cameron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Curtis "G.C." Cameron (born in Jackson, Mississippi) is an American soul and R&B singer.
Cameron was the lead singer of Motown act The Spinners during the late-1960s and early 1970s. He sings lead on their first big hit, 1970's "It's a Shame", co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder, and remained with Motown as a solo artist when The Spinners left Motown in 1971. Although Cameron was not a major-seller for the label, he did have one successful hit: "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday", the theme song of the 1975 film Cooley High, which was later covered by Boyz II Men.
Cameron left Motown after the 1970s, and toured as an independent artist. He recorded a critically-acclaimed album for Malaco Records in 1983 and his career was revived in 1989 by recordings for British record companies Ardent (owned by Paul Mooney) and Motorcity (owned by Ian Levine). He returned to The Spinners from 2000 to 2002, and also recorded another solo album before he replaced Barrington "Bo" Henderson in 2003 as the lead singer of another Motown act, The Temptations, with whom he currently performs.
