The Originals

The Originals is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Leon Ware, Gene Chandler, Let's Get It On and Marvin Gaye.

They run in the same orbit as The Intruders, The Dramatics, The Chi-Lites, The Persuaders and Smokey Robinson, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into After 7, The Marvelettes, The Beatles, The Carpenters and Color Me Badd, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around The Originals, reaching back through Leon Ware and forward to After 7.
