Atlanta, GA's best-kept secret, the Naturals, stomped on the scene seeking fame and fortune in the early '70s, fashioning themselves after the Temptations and the Chi-lites. The lineup consisted of Johnny Simon (first tenor), Robert Fitzpatrick Jr. (bass), Michael Williams (second tenor), and William Thomas aka as Gilmore (baritone). Simon was a brilliant singer/showman whose falsetto sounded like the Chi-lite's Eugene Record and his natural like Marvin Gaye; Simon previously fronted the Wallace Brothers.
