The Ramong Sound was a British soul Ska band, active from 1965 to 1966.
The Ramong Sound was a R&B - Soul - Ska London based outfit that featured two black lead singers doing Sam & Dave styled duets, one of them being Clem Curtis. The group had a steadily growing reputation and following around the London club scene due to the energetic performance of the group. After one of the lead singers, Ramong who the group was named after was sent down for six months, they went through a succession of name changes.
The group eventually evolved into The Foundations, who went on to have several hits, including Baby Now That I've Found You and Build Me Up Buttercup
