People just don't understand how GREAT "Phillippe Wynne" was. And how much of what he did that wasn't on the lyric sheet. That man's voice was an intrument.. This was my childhood. The "Amazing Spinners"..
@@williamalexander5581 Yep! That's why I'm here 7/20/20 Baby! That audience dead! Cause baby I would've tried my best to make it up to that stage and dance with them! This song touches my Soul Gives me the same feeling it did when I was a kid first hearing it.
I think Phillipe Wynne was one of music's best improvisational singers, perhaps no one better. Even though he died years ago, I only recently read of his passing. RIP Phillipe.
His death was so tragic!! He really wanted to sing funk! So joining Parliament Funkadelic wasn’t quite what he expected. His signature voice will always be remembered!!
This is amazing my husband was at that concert I’m from the Bay Area Berkeley California and Oakland is just connected my husband love this man I had never seen this performance here at 70 years old I missed a good old days the best music in the world it was a good time I love the way that audience was in the spirit Stevie was jumping what amazing Performance
This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen..I remember seeing this!! Phillipe Wynne use to visit the folks who lived across the street from us, when I was growing up in Detroit. Unfortunately those people were drug dealers and when we put two and two together we realized why he spent time with those heathens. That man was always nice and extended pleasentries to everyone who would come up to his blue cadillac--he spoke in that high pitch way that he sang in...What a talent!
Yes, he was truly a great performer, and a great person. I had the awesome pleasure of meeting him in the '80's when had left the Spinners, and had just come off performing with the Funkadelics. One of the most down to earth brothers you'd ever want to meet. We found that we had common acqaintances, that came as a surprise. His voice and charisma was sorely missed with the Spinners.
What a performance to kick off the Grammys! I remember watching this when I was a youngster. Gave them a standing O from my living room. It's amazing that the string of hits these guys had during the early 70's didn't produce more awards and accolades. My all time favorites just ahead of the 4 Tops.
The late great Phillipe Wynn, wow! There will never be another. I remember being a shortly and seeing them on sound stage, I knew they were great as a kid. Phillipe wynn will fall in line with the other great performers of our time.
Stevie helped get the Spinners their start-even played drums on their early recordings. And this performance shoulda sealed the Grammy. And an Emmy, too!
Amen! 7/20/20 That's why I always come back here and go with him! Like I commented , if I was there I would've tried my best to make it up there. The others left. I would've stayed right there , dancing until he was done!😁
35 YEARS AGO TODAY JULY 14TH,1984....GOD TOOK ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES BACK TO HEAVEN......…. PHILLIPE WE STILL LOVE AND MISS YOUR TALENTS....REST IN PEACE :)
Man, seeing this just makes me realize how far POP music in general, R&B in particular and the GRAMMYS have fallen in the last generation. Nobody puts on performances like this anymore. These days its all about SPECTACLE!
The feeling these guys must've had when they hit this Thom Bell-Atlantic peak, after all those years in the margins...well, it must've been something like watching this clip: joy and mighty love indeed. Spinners had the best writing in soul at the time too, and it makes me happy to see one of their esteemed contributors in our midst. I learned a lot from the liner notes for all those great Rhino reissues, Mr. Hawes. Respect!
Yes he is. It a young Rodney Stepp from Indianapolis Ind. He was the Keyboard and HB3 organ player for the Spinners for Years. That's also him on the live version at the Apollo. The Bass Player is Rodney Vorhis from Indianapolis, Ind.
In 1977 I saw the group in NY. Phil Wynne brought down the house....the place was going crazy. I remember when Bobby introduced the group members at the end of the show...when he got to Phil, he said "dynamic entertainer" or something like that...there was a roar of the crowd that I will never forget. The Spinners were great in that era, and Phil was one of a kind - never to be forgotten.
This is one of the most classy groups from the 70s to date era!! The industry should consider bringing back this type of talent and performance. R&B and Hip Hop is slowly dying with the junk they are playing now a days!
Another #1 hit for The Spinners on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 287th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #20 on the Top 40 charts and #19 in Canada.
I had the fantastic experience of meeting them in 2004 in Epcot, there was still 4 of the original group performing they were fantastic, they were also very kind to me they all signed a tee shirt and other items, the best bit was having my photo taken with them. It hands pride of place in my house and there is not a day that when I look at it all the beautiful memories of all my family watching their show. They were bought up on soul music and the Spinners are all our favourite's. Thank you
when this song first came out it got a lot of play on the radio. but i didn't think it was so good at the time. and i know now that it's because i wasn't ready to appreciate this level of music. because it sounds powerful now. another gem from the early-mid 70s era. good job!
This is one of my favorite songs by the spinners. I'm fortunate to come arcoss such a great performance like this. It places such a huge smile across my face thanks!
This IS ONE OF THE GREATEST Songs & Live Performances ! So Real If you are In Love Hold on to Them and ENJOY every MOMENT ! Be Loving & Forgiving cause you are Blessed to Love & to Be Loved ! The Greatest Love of all ! If I were 2 Pass right Here Right Now I'd Be Happy for I HAVE lived to LOVE AND TO bE LOVED ! tHANK YOU mY PRECIOUS PRECIOUS AWESOME SUPREME CREATOR !
Much like the group Chicago, each group had the person that was the soul of the group. Phil was the soul of the Spinners, Bobby did his best to Keep it going. The good thing is the Spinner always got great replacements and grow each time. I would love to see them do it again !!
I don’t know why this joyous performance brought a tear to my eye. Probably because there will never be another like it. Nothing against modern stars- they work hard too, but this is perfection.
great performance! i wasnt born yet but my mom told me about these guys and she said you haven't experienced good music until you listen to "classic" r&b soul music like this. she was right, im 29 years old and get more enjoyment out of oldies more than i do the newbies. absolutely great and im age 29 now!!
I want you to know what wonderful and humbling feeling it is to look back and to know that you were a part of making music history. I do appreciate knowing that you and so many others made this song a 'Soul Music' staple. This is so great what has come of it because of of your support and that you all have kept this song alive for so long. Thank you! Bruce Hawes, Writer
This was such an amazing and entertaining performance... It really showed Phillipe Wynne's personality and the versatility of the group.. And how can The Grammys have the nerve to invite them to perform this song and not even give them the award....I mean that performance topped it off!
Now THIS is how award shows used to be. Nice clean cut entertainment WITHOUT a bunch of antics, great singing, choreography and a kick ass band to boot!
Philippe is pure magic, feeling, taste, soul, spirit. You can NOT teach that in school. Wish he would’ve stuck around longer, but what he left behind is a whole lot of brilliance!
Wow, this is one hell of a live performance... I sure hope they won the Grammy that night, not only for this awesome song but for this spectacular performance too... This Phillpe Wynne had a mighty awesome baritone voice... Obviously, The Spinners were one of the greatest R&B groups of all time... They were before my time however, I recall my dad loving two groups during his lifetime, The Spinners & The legendary O'Jays :)
I saw THE SPINNERS every time that they performed at the APOLLO THEATER. EACH PERFORMANCE WAS GREATER THAN ONE BEFORE. SEEING THEM WAS ABSOLUTELY A DREAM COME TRUE. THE GROUP WAS FANTASTIC AMD PHILLIPE WAS DYNAMIC. I REALLY HAD A GREAT CRUSH ON HIM. MIGHTY LOVE CAME OUT IN 1972. THIS IS 2021 AND I STILL LOVE THIS SONG. I WATCH THE OLD VIDEOS AS WELL.
Watching this makes me feel so wonderful inside. I love the song but it's watching this very performance and the joy these guys share,esp. Phillipe Wynne, that makes me feel so good. It's like watching and listening to sunshine.
Mr. Hawes, I just want to thank you, Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Simmons and, of course, the great Mr. Thom Bell for the MIGHTY LOVE LP. Thirty-six years later, it still rates as one of the greatest R&B albums of ALL TIME! Today's generation couldn't even come close. Thanks again for the great music and memories!
People just don't understand how GREAT "Phillippe Wynne" was. And how much of what he did that wasn't on the lyric sheet. That man's voice was an intrument.. This was my childhood. The "Amazing Spinners"..
When you seen greatness it willcapture your attention again and again.
@@williamalexander5581 Yep! That's why I'm here 7/20/20 Baby! That audience dead! Cause baby I would've tried my best to make it up to that stage and dance with them! This song touches my Soul Gives me the same feeling it did when I was a kid first hearing it.
Amen
Amen he was a great adliber
I love the Spinners and I love Mr Wynn!!!!!!One of the greatest soul voices ever.
I think Phillipe Wynne was one of music's best improvisational singers, perhaps no one better. Even though he died years ago, I only recently read of his passing. RIP Phillipe.
His death was so tragic!! He really wanted to sing funk! So joining Parliament Funkadelic wasn’t quite what he expected. His signature voice will always be remembered!!
nobody could ad-lib like Phillippe!
UNBELIEVABLE! Mr. Wynne was the heart & soul of the Spinners, his energy level is amazing! R.I.P. Phillippe.
Philippe is one of the great soul singers of all time.
Phillipe Wynn WOW!!!! One of the BEST That ever did it!! R.I.P
Phillipe Wynne is the truth!!!
Thom Bell was a great Producer and he gave me much time and care. I will always be in his Debt. Thank you, Bruce Hawes, Writer
Great song !!!!
Thank you. :) .
The fact that the Spinners are not in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a disgrace.
Yes, and no Grammy
True indeed
Poliitics
It's a shame! No pun intended
Because it is R&B, not Rock & Roll.
Saw the Spinners twice with Phillipe " Soul" Wynne as lead singer. A mighty mighty band!!
One of the best performances ever on The Grammys!
And how ironic....THEY NEVER GOT A GRAMMY FOR ANY OF THEIR RECORDS!!!
look how they have the audiences total attention, amazing performance!
Phillipe Wynne died at the young age of 43 of a heart attack. He was performing when he died. Left this world doing what he loved to do.
Jalexa Laine You know what was even sadder than that? Only 7 people attended his funeral! As a performer and as a man, he deserved better...
e37a So sad. Place should have been packed.
Jalexa Laine he sure did deserve better than that!
Phillipe was so great that you can forget what a talent Bobbie was!! Super group
ONE OF THE BEST! MIGHTY LOVE!!
This is amazing my husband was at that concert I’m from the Bay Area Berkeley California and Oakland is just connected my husband love this man I had never seen this performance here at 70 years old I missed a good old days the best music in the world it was a good time I love the way that audience was in the spirit Stevie was jumping what amazing Performance
I can't stop playing this post!!!! I'm groovin sooooooo hard here at work!!!
This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen..I remember seeing this!!

REMEMBERING PHILLIP WALKER "PHILIPPE WYNNE" APRIL 3, 1941 - JULY 14, 1984 [04/03/2018]
Yes, he was truly a great performer, and a great person. I had the awesome pleasure of meeting him in the '80's when had left the Spinners, and had just come off performing with the Funkadelics. One of the most down to earth brothers you'd ever want to meet. We found that we had common acqaintances, that came as a surprise. His voice and charisma was sorely missed with the Spinners.
Greatness personafide.
This should have at least 1 million views this song is amazing.

Stevie Wonder in the front row groovin' with Phillipe',..hahahaha,..Soul music is life, from the oldest people on earth !!!
Yes!!! Stevie feeling it! Like I feel it! Deep down in my Soul! Others dead out there!
@@elisageorge2261 I hear you sis....what a great time in my life as a youngster !!!
Stevie helped get the Spinners their start-even played drums on their early recordings. And this performance shoulda sealed the Grammy. And an Emmy, too!
Stevie was right there in the front row,..did you see him ?
Phillipe was going to church on this one. 👐👍☺❤🙌
Amen! 7/20/20 That's why I always come back here and go with him! Like I commented , if I was there I would've tried my best to make it up there. The others left. I would've stayed right there , dancing until he was done!😁
One of my favorite groups that I never got to see perform live
35 YEARS AGO TODAY JULY 14TH,1984....GOD TOOK ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES BACK TO HEAVEN......…. PHILLIPE WE STILL LOVE AND MISS YOUR TALENTS....REST IN PEACE :)
Now this is what you called Showmanship! I Love this Group!
NOW THAT'S HOW U PUT ON A DAMN SHOW. THEM MICS ARE IN FIRE!!!!!
Beautiful. I absolutely loved every frikkin minute of this performance. Bravo!!!!!
The organist is absolutely phenomenal!
What an anointing Mr. Wynne had in his voice. Classic.
This is LOADED with SOUL!
We did this song when I was in Job corps in 1976 at Excelsior Springs, Mo
Man, seeing this just makes me realize how far POP music in general, R&B in particular and the GRAMMYS have fallen in the last generation. Nobody puts on performances like this anymore. These days its all about SPECTACLE!
The gospel according to Phillipe !!!
And its Devine.
These guys were the best of the BEST,,,,Mighty Love Ya'll,!!!!
The feeling these guys must've had when they hit this Thom Bell-Atlantic peak, after all those years in the margins...well, it must've been something like watching this clip: joy and mighty love indeed. Spinners had the best writing in soul at the time too, and it makes me happy to see one of their esteemed contributors in our midst. I learned a lot from the liner notes for all those great Rhino reissues, Mr. Hawes. Respect!
Feeling nostalgic for the good days of old and fresh melodic music. In tears feeling my childhood memories with my grandma. This song is everything!
I 'm feeling lucky that i got see this here, i can't immagine how lucky those who were there felt, what a perfomance!
Phillipe's voice was so cool he was really good at ab libbing..
I can never, ever get enough of this!
That Philippe Wynne was something else.
This WAS called Soul music,,,,,Mighty Love ,,,,,,YeesaaaaaaaaHHH!!!!
Phillipe/Wynne. One of the Greatest Entertainers Ever!!!!!!!I miss him &❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The brutha on the HAMMOND B3 was KILLIN IT!!!
Yes he is. It a young Rodney Stepp from Indianapolis Ind. He was the Keyboard and HB3 organ player for the Spinners for Years. That's also him on the live version at the Apollo. The Bass Player is Rodney Vorhis from Indianapolis, Ind.

VERY TRUE !!!
Another #1 hit for The Spinners on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 287th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #20 on the Top 40 charts and #19 in Canada.
I had the fantastic experience of meeting them in 2004 in Epcot, there was still 4 of the original group performing they were fantastic, they were also very kind to me they all signed a tee shirt and other items, the best bit was having my photo taken with them.

One of my favorite uptempo love song's ever and a group I've worked with !!!
He was feeling this song ❤️ 😂😂 😂 I enjoyed it
"...like watching and listening to sunshine." Couldn't have said it better!!!!!!!!
this is real music, nuff said!
Hit #1 soul, #20 pop in Billboard. RIP, Phillipe and Pervis. God bless!
Phillip took everyone to church on this one baby!!!
when this song first came out it got a lot of play on the radio. but i didn't think it was so good at the time. and i know now that it's because i wasn't ready to appreciate this level of music. because it sounds powerful now. another gem from the early-mid 70s era. good job!
I love this song the album verson is awesome but seeing it live is even better
I also think they were deserving of a Grammy, especially with all the hit songs. And this performance; WOW!!
Others come close, but they are all second to THE SPINNERS.
This is one of my favorite songs by the spinners. I'm fortunate to come arcoss such a great performance like this. It places such a huge smile across my face thanks!
JUST GREAT
This IS ONE OF THE GREATEST Songs & Live Performances ! So Real If you are In Love Hold on to Them and ENJOY every MOMENT ! Be Loving & Forgiving cause you are Blessed to Love & to Be Loved !

Yes Phillipe. My friends don't know about this, this is REAL music.
Love this!!!!!! Thanks for posting. maurice

That was great! Loved seeing Stevie Wonder enjoying himself too.
I don’t know why this joyous performance brought a tear to my eye. Probably because there will never be another like it. Nothing against modern stars- they work hard too, but this is perfection.

I was gonna make a comment but yours says it all.
AWESOME..
Phillippe takes us to church on this performance!
yes indeed
Perhaps my favorite group of all time. There may never be another lead singing duo like Phillipe and Bobby!!
edub1906 The closest we've come are two guys who also sprang from Philadelphia - Daryl Hall and John Oates
Grammy '75... my mom hadn't met my dad yet... but I would have loved to have heard this type of music live!
Philippe is pure magic, feeling, taste, soul, spirit. You can NOT teach that in school. Wish he would’ve stuck around longer, but what he left behind is a whole lot of brilliance!
This is when they performed at the 1975 grammies...great performance!
Wow, this is one hell of a live performance... I sure hope they won the Grammy that night, not only for this awesome song but for this spectacular performance too... This Phillpe Wynne had a mighty awesome baritone voice... Obviously, The Spinners were one of the greatest R&B groups of all time... They were before my time however, I recall my dad loving two groups during his lifetime, The Spinners & The legendary O'Jays :)
that was awesome wasn't it???
Sweet Philly Soul
How this audience could set on there ass doing this is amazing!!!!!
I would've been partying
My thought exact! I would've made my way up to the stage baby!
They should have been on there feet during the performance but at least they gave the spinners a standing ovation at the end !!!
I saw THE SPINNERS every time that they performed at the APOLLO THEATER. EACH PERFORMANCE WAS GREATER THAN ONE BEFORE. SEEING THEM WAS ABSOLUTELY A DREAM COME TRUE. THE GROUP WAS FANTASTIC AMD PHILLIPE WAS DYNAMIC. I REALLY HAD A GREAT CRUSH ON HIM. MIGHTY LOVE CAME OUT IN 1972. THIS IS 2021 AND

Billy, Phillipe, Bobby and Pervis thanks for the great music RIP RIP brother's.
talk about full energy! i felt like i was there
He really deserved that spotlight at the end. i miss the soul, y'all....where's the soul music today????
I always as a little girl loved the sound of Phillippe Wynne's voice. The Spinners was always being played in
My house.
SO TALENTED!!! This music will NEVER get old.
All I have to say is what comes first is always better than what comes after. Music will never be the same.
I luv dis band
A classic true to heart performance
