The Younghearts were, originally formed at Dorsey High School in Los Angeles in 1961, by Bobby Sanders and Charles Ingersoll.
The groups first record was a song entitled 'Oh, I'll Never Be The Same', which made the Top Ten on the R & B charts. A follow up album entitled 'Sweet Soul Shakin' was released in 1968 for the Minit label. The 'Sweet Soul Shakin' album included the songs 'I've Got Love For My Baby', 'Girls,Girls,Girls', 'Sweet Soul Shakin', 'Oh, I'll Never Be The Same' and 'Misty' all of which made the number one slot or the top 5 on the R & B charts at various times between 1968 and 1970.
During that time The Younghearts toured with several famous Soul Artists of that time, including The Temptations, The Dells, The Delfonics, The Moments, The Whispers, The Miracles and The Supremes. The group also performed with the late Barry White, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Sonny & Cher, Gladys Night and Sammy Davis Jr amongst others.

The group then moved to the Avco Embassy imprint for one album and a single release entitled 'Ooh La We', which made the R & B Top 20, however Avco never released the album feeling that the sound wasn't 'Younghearts' enough. The group then released the album 'Do You Have The Time', which was shortly followed by a second 20th Century outing entitled 'A Taste Of The Younghearts' (including musical arrangements from H.B.Barnum). Several successful singles from each set made the R & B charts, however tour duties in Africa and Australia meant that they could not promote the sets in the way they would have wished.
The Younghearts, over the years, earned the nickname 'The Entertainers' due to the intense energy of ther performances.
By 1975, the group were writing and producing all of their own material.
They then hooked up with George Tobin, after Tobin had heard a song by the group called 'Queen Of My Heart. This liaison led to them signing to ABC Records and the group recorded one album entitled 'All About Love'.
