The Spinners, The Stylistics, Manhattans, Chi Lites, Blue Notes and others were part of a black music wondrous explosion in the early-mid 70s, to me the best era ever in soul music. Not even close. So many great top 40 songs, so many songs you could sing to or dance to. Betcha by Golly, Wow! What an era. Thanks to Stylistics for the reference. Don't forget the ladies, too, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Roberta Flack and others as well.
The Spinners have such great music! Have you heard these yet?: "Games People Play" "Rubberband Man" "I'll Be There" "I'll Be Around" "Then Came You" (with Dionne Warwick). They're all irresistibly catchy!
I can’t think of a Spinner’s song that anyone wouldn’t like! They are so talented and Harri you are correct they don’t make songs like this anymore. I keep wonder Why Not? There are many talented singers out there but I guess this is considered “Old School”. I think it’s just great music!!
Profit first then art ,degrading values and lack of dedication to the art of music and more dedicated to self image?Still have much God given talent but without substance. ,
Could it be ? Yes I have long ago fallen in 💘 with this tremendous song and performances on SOUL TRAIN. This song soars and flora like a beautiful butterfly. It is timeless and yet preserved in amber for all time. Like all great songs performed well it blazed across the sky. It flies low and climbs high. It floats in just the right directions and while the great best continues the supreme keyboards takes us to a Place far off in the sky. I love the song and the great group that performs it with gusto, balance, harmony and wonderful choreography. I am at a loss for words because I am so genuinely moved by the combination. It always chased away the blues. It is sheerMAGIC. I think t is one of the all time transformative songs in popular music. PERFECT.
Harri, The Spinners started out in Detroit in the '60s but went the whole decade there without success or fame. But circa 1970 they moved to Philadelphia, which had taken over from Motown as the new capitol of Soul/R&B, and flourished there. That music scene in Philadelphia was known by a few different names: The Philly Sound, Philly Soul, Philly Beat, and even T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia). It was there in the City of Brotherly Love that The Spinners found stardom, pumping out hit after hit after hit, including this one! Next from The Spinners, please react to, "I'll Be Around", using the same Soul Train video. (They're wearing the same outfits.)
The Spinners had minor hits in the 60s, such as: 1961- That's What Girls Are Made For 1965 - I'll Always Love You 1966 - Truly Yours Their first (and only hit) "It's A Shame" was in 1970, produced and written by Stevie Wonder (who also played some of the instruments). The lead singer on this song was G.C. Cameron, who originally recorded "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" for the 1975 movie "Cooley High". That song was covered by Boyz II Men in the 90s. After "It's A Shame" faded into the sunset, The Spinners never had another hit record at Motown, and was all but forgotten until 1972, when they left Motown and went to Atlantic Records, and thus the hits started rolling back to back, produced by the great Thom Bell, who also was a hit maker for The Stylistics, The Delfonics and The Intruders, and New York City. The Spinners never won a Grammy for any of their singles or albums. The four core members, Bobbie Smith, Phillipe Wynne, Billy Henderson and Pervis Jackson passed away, so the last surviving member is Henry Fambrough. John Edwards replaced Phillipe Wynne in 1977 when Wynne left the group to go solo. Going into the 80s with John Edwards leading the group, they had minor hits but not with the fervor of the 70s. Also, they were no longer guided by Thom Bell; instead Michael Zagler produced some of their 80s records such as Working My Way Back To You (their cover of the Four Seasons' song), Cupid (cover of Sam Cooke's record), Heaven On Earth (So Fine), Funny How Time Slips Away, I Just Want To Fall In Love, Right or Wrong, Magic In The Moonlight, and a few others. The Spinners have newer members and still perform to this day, singing their hit songs.
I love how everyone is so choreographed in their movies, the band included. This music, especially the vocals just sweep you up. I’m so blessed to have grown up during this era ❤️
Great song and the music the Spinners sang was totally “Feel Good” music. Brings a smile on my face to this day. I was 6 years old when this song came over the airwaves ❤
You got that right!!! These brothers are awesome! My favorite soul group. It's a shame (pardon the pun that was the name of the first and only Motown hit) they never received a Grammy
The British Spinners. The Spinners were a folk group from Liverpool, England, that formed in September 1958. They variously had four albums in the UK Albums Chart between September 1970 and April 1972. One of them, Spinners Live Performance (1971), spent three months in the listing and peaked at No. 14.
The Detroit Spinners started out as a teenage doo-wop group. Their original group name was The Domingoes in 1955, but was changed to the Spinners due to the fact that Bobbie Smith (the original lead singer) had a car that had Spinners hubcaps.
The core members of the Spinners were; Bobbie Smith (lead singer -deceased) Phillipe Wynne (deceased and lead singer and the fella with the glasses 👓) Billy Henderson (deceased) Pervis Jackson (deceased) Henry Fambrough (still living) They were called "The Detroit Spinners" bc there is a British group also named the Spinners. The 80s version that u speak about is ok, but there's nothing like the original u heard from 1972. Asé.
The Spinners version is, however, the original and the definitive! One of the most romantic tunes of the late soul/early disco era, when disco was romantic and soulful -- mellifluous, sweet, heartwarming, ROMANTIC -- nobody falls in love anymore, not like this! (Apologies, the Grant/Graham just isn't in the same league as the original...it just isn't). Some songs are sung as "performances" of the band/singer. That's nice. But others are genuine MASTERPIECES, irreplaceable, where every element is at maximum expression. In other words, the Spinners version captures the "moment of realization that one is falling in love with someone most special", in formal terms known in art as "the Myronic Moment" (see the sculpture "The Discus Thrower", by Myron, an ancient Greek artist), the moment that captures the most profound essence of the piece, the moment before the climax, the moment of no going back. The Spinners achieved the latter several times in their songs: Check out "It's A Shame", "I'll Be Around", "Working my Way back to you". God bless!
Yes this is a beautiful record in the 70s and 80s it was always on to get you on the dance floor. Could I suggest you have a listen to the Chi-Lites, Too good to be forgotten, Homely girl,Have you seen her,are all great songs.
This song by the Spinners was part of the soundtrack of my youth! Music in the seventies was the richest sound across all genres and was played on AM radio which was a beautiful thing…
The Spinners were the last of the big singing and dancing groups. There used to be tons of them but they kind of went out with the 70's. Their last big hit was "Working My Way Back To You Babe" in early 1980 and it was the first one they'd had in several years.
Saw these guys about 1975 at the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto. Beautiful golden tones all night. Openers were Hues Corporation (Don't Rock the Boat). Great memories.
When music was good and the Artists had talent and class... by the way, David Grant/jaki graham song was a cover of The Spinners 1973 "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love"... and they were in Philly when they recorded this Masterpiece.
Sweet! The Spinners "It's a Shame" from 1970 is a total jam. Check it out if you're not sure if you've heard it, then check out the reggae version that Alton Ellis dropped in 1971.
Back in the late 70's I saw the Spinners and Phyllis Hyman together in concert. I love the Spinners when in high school and college early to mid 70's. The other guy is Philippe Wynn.
Another great song of the 70's, my Era. The music was great back then. Not taking anything from the 50's, 60's 80's and 90's. In general I just love music, during bad and good times music was my place of beauty and fun. Thank you.
The Spinners had an incredible run between 1970 and 1975. Their two best albums are Spinners (1973), which is almost like a greatest hits album, and Pick of the Litter (1975). I profiled "You Made a Promise to Me," which has a faux Italian line in it.
Yeah, you're absolutely right, they don't make songs like these anymore. The strings & the horns were very exciting to say the least. This song was co-written by Phil Hurt & Thom Bell from Jamaica. And was originally released in the summer of 1973.
Should try #1 hit duet from Spinners and Dionne Warwick. They (both) had so many hit songs, duet is classic and upbeat tune that surprised many used to Dionne in love ballads
Other Spinners songs worth a look: I'll Be Around, The Rubberband Man, It's a Shame, Games People Play, Mighty Love, Then Came You (a duet with Dionne Warwick), Working My Way Back To You, One of a Kind Love Affair.
@@iamladeegee8032 Right, two of the most important members of Motown's "The Funk Brothers" ensemble of talented studio musicians who backed up all the hits.
Thanks for the reaction, Harri! Love this song. It always puts a smile on my face. :-) And thanks for recommending the 1985 cover by David Grant and Jaki Graham. I had never heard it before.
This song, and all of their other hits, were recorded in Philly, you are correct. The Spinners started out in Detroit in the '60s but went the whole decade there without success or fame. But circa 1970 they moved to Philadelphia, which had taken over from Motown as the new capitol of Soul/R&B, and flourished there.

It was there in the City of Brotherly Love that The Spinners found stardom, pumping out hit after hit after hit, including this great one!
These guys I knew simply as the Spinners. Googled them and learned, they were known as the Detroit Spinners or the Motown Spinners in the UK to avoid confusion with a British folk group called the Spinners. But in the US they were just the Spinners and we loved them. You learn something new every day. 🎼🎶🎤
I always liked this group. If you want to hear a bit of a rocker, give a listen to Rubberband Man. Or another great one is Then Came You along with Dionne Warwick.
I must say, Harri, that I really love your taste in music. You have such a great ear and I admire your appreciation for good music. I gave a listen to this number by David & Jaki and thought it was the best version of this song. Loved it!!
Hey, Harry! Have you reacted to Donny Hathaway and his song, A Song For You? If you haven’t, you really, really, really, really should. It’s an incredible masterpiece of a song. I promise you it will give you chills.
Listened to the six-and-a-half-minute maxi-single by David Grant & Jaki Graham (1985), and it is beautiful! I’ve always liked the Spinners’ version (1972), and so now I have two versions to enjoy. Another good popular song from 1972 is “Alone Again (Naturally)” by Gilbert O’Sullivan.
@@HarriBestReactions Thanks, Harri. I actually did scroll through your videos and found that you'd already done "Alone Again," after I'd posted my comment.
interesting how you still feel the other one holds a candle to this. I will say the other does it justice which is a lot, but uh uh- not in the same league.
I've mentioned it before, you should get hold of the Rhino 6-disc box set "Can You Dig It? The '70s Soul Experience". This song is on it along with plenty of other well-known names and some one-hit wonders as well. It ends at the right time, just as disco was starting to assert itself. At least check out the title track 'Grazing in the Grass' by The Friends of Distinction. The chorus features the "Can you dig it," line. Another song from the set is 'Suavecito' by Malo, a group featuring Carlos Santana's brother.
The Spinners are the original artists for this song which was written and produced by Thom Bell.
Top shelf seventies soul. Ages like fine wine and goes down just as smooth. I’m going to check out that other version right now.
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic musical treasure Mr Thom Bell 💯💯💯💯💯💯
This song is absolutely amazing! The whole Motown Sound is just amazing
This is Philly Soul
The songs, the clothing, the steps, they were the full package!!!
This song is an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

The Spinners were a great group and you couldn't listen to the radio in the 70s and not hear this song!
It’s 1973 and I’m cruising down the road thinking about my new boyfriend and the possibilities. Thank you!
Early to mid 70's, what a magical time.
This is such a special song . I remember this playing on the radio as a kid in the 70’s . So smooth , so brilliantly done .
I love the Spinners. Very nice part of my teenage years .
Sweet Philly Soul ❤❤❤❤❤
The Spinners have such great music! Have you heard these yet?: "Games People Play" "Rubberband Man" "I'll Be There" "I'll Be Around" "Then Came You" (with Dionne Warwick). They're all irresistibly catchy!
Rubberband Man is amazing!
Mighty Love, Working My Way Back To You, Cupid, are amazing as well👍✌️
I'll Be There was recorded by the Jackson Five in 1970
The LEGENDARY Detroit Spinners ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh, how I would love to travel back to the 70's 😉
I WISH music would go back to this!!
It's hard to be in a bad mood when listening to any Spinners song.
We had some great sounds back in the day…. 50’s, 60’s and the 70’s
This takes me back to my teens
The orchestra behind them is awesome. The chord progression during the chorus is real cool to me.
I love how everyone is so choreographed in their movies, the band included. This music, especially the vocals just sweep you up. I’m so blessed to have grown up during this era ❤️
great song thank you thom bell
I'm older than you & I remember hearing it when I was 12. 1972. Great song!
The Spinners performed for my wedding reception. Such a beautiful magical day .
When I was young I would watch Bandstand then Soul Train. Great pick and reaction Harri!
This was playing in my mind as I put the throttle to my TX750 Yamaha, departing East Bay for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1973.
What talent!!!
Just a beautiful song!! 👏🏻🎼♥️Thank you!!♥️🌷
Great song and the music the Spinners sang was totally “Feel Good” music. Brings a smile on my face to this day. I was 6 years old when this song came over the airwaves ❤
🎶💙20 when this came out. Music is my first love & thank my Mom every day for always having music on. Love & miss her💔💙🎶
Harri we are not getting OLD, we are TIMELESS like the music!!! peace!!!
Not much is as uplifting as listening to The Spinners. They truly don't make music like this anymore. 💙
You got that right!!! These brothers are awesome! My favorite soul group. It's a shame (pardon the pun that was the name of the first and only Motown hit) they never received a Grammy

this music has been out for decades but you cant tell me there isnt a market for it, i for sure would support this great happy style of song
Thank you
love this one!
love their songs!
The O'Jays, Undisputed Truth, and on and on..
You are so right unfortunately they can't make music like this anymore.

You’re exactly right! They DON’T make music like this anymore! Been on my playlist for decades!! 🎶
prolly my fav song by them. what a classic
70s FOREVER!!!
Back then we had The Spinners, The Chi-Lites, The Stylistics, The Manhattans, The Temptations and many more. Feeling nostalgic.
one of their best songs and yes they don’t make music like this anymore
🎶💙All the feels!💙🎶 own their albums.

So underrated and under appreciated, one of my favourite groups of all time ❤️ Their best and most played by me is " it's a shame " from 1970 ❤️❤️❤️
When music was good and the Artists had talent and class... by the way, David Grant/jaki graham song was a cover of The Spinners 1973 "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love"... and they were in Philly when they recorded this Masterpiece.

...you just don't want it to end.
This one is the original and best.. .. so much more to go to from The Detroit Emeralds and The Detroit Spinners . Absolutely beautiful 🥰
Yeah, you're absolutely right, they don't make songs like these anymore. The strings & the horns were very exciting to say the least. This song was co-written by Phil Hurt & Thom Bell from Jamaica. And was originally released in the summer of 1973.
Love it!!!
Just watched the video of David and Jaki and really enjoyed it but I prefer the Spinners. Both versions are great!
Should try #1 hit duet from Spinners and Dionne Warwick. They (both) had so many hit songs, duet is classic and upbeat tune that surprised many used to Dionne in love ballads
I'd like for you to experience their song"Sadie" such a beautiful tribute to old school moms.
Other Spinners songs worth a look: I'll Be Around, The Rubberband Man, It's a Shame, Games People Play, Mighty Love, Then Came You (a duet with Dionne Warwick), Working My Way Back To You, One of a Kind Love Affair.
Give a listen to their "It's a Shame" from 1970. Co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder. It's a gem, featuring a memorable guitar lick.
I’m pretty sure Harri will remember that guitar lick from Monie Love’s song with the same title. 😉
That guitar lick was by Robert White, and the bass line by James Jamerson. who both played on the Temptations 1965 hit "My Girl"

Great song by a great group. I thought the Spinners recorded from Philly not Motown. This is the original song.🔥👍🙃
This song, and all of their other hits, were recorded in Philly, you are correct. The Spinners started out in Detroit in the '60s but went the whole decade there without success or fame. But circa 1970 they moved to Philadelphia, which had taken over from Motown as the new capitol of Soul/R&B, and flourished there. That music scene in Philadelphia was known by a few different names: The Philly Sound, Philly Soul, Philly Beat, and even T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia). It was there in the City of Brotherly Love that The Spinners found stardom, pumping out hit after hit after hit, including this great one!
