Steve Bingham (born 4 April 1949) is an English bass guitarist, best known for being in the band The Foundations in 1970, and remaining with them until their break-up.
[1] Steve Bingham's interest in the bass guitar was awakened at the age of twelve when his sister took him to see a local group called The Strollers.
[16] In 1999, because of the popularity of the film There's Something About Mary, the renewed interest in '"Build Me Up Buttercup" and The Foundations, a version of the band reformed with Colin Young on vocals, Alan Warner on guitar, Bingham on bass, and Gary Moberley on keyboards, etc.
The group stayed together for a period of time seeing a change of the lead singer with Hue Montgomery replacing Colin Young.
[citation needed] He played on the Soul CLassics 2000 / 2001 album by Alan Warner's Foundations group.
They were also helped out by Nick Payn, Tony Laidlaw and Peter Rollinson on horns and Michelle Porter on backing vocals and Phillip Harper on percussion.
In the review, Andy Snipper said that the single "Hot Cinnamon" was "a fine piece of music but possibly too complicated rhythmically to be a dance hit".
