Ooo, the Spinners! I suggest the song Cupid and the Rubber Band Man. Also, can you please do a full reaction to Brian Wilson presents SMiLE when you have the chance. The album is a hidden masterpiece, and it will blow your socks off.
And to show love and caring through song. Almost a reverence for the feeling in love, relationships, good feelings longing for harmony between the couple. Sad music aura last 10 yesrs. Negative, disrespectful, deviant, devisive, perverted, disgusting demonic lyrics and songs.
It's about half true. Vietnam was finishing up and men still had to be men and not express anything that appeared to be weakness. Also honey you look like you weren't even a twinkle in your Mama's eyes when this was recorded.
Listen closely to Thom Bell's prolific composing skills! The melodic strings 🎻, guitar 🎸 , keyboards, 🎹 and of course those timeless lyrics 🎶 and the fantastic lead vocals of Bobby Smith and Philippé Wynne 🎤!! A special, timeless musical gem💎! It has aged very well from my childhood and AM radio in the early 1970s 📻 !! I was like 3 or 4 years old when this song 🎵 came out! Now an attorney, 50 years later. I listen to "The Best Of The Spinners" CD 💿 on my BOSE stereo at work and at home and on my Blackberry Mp3 player!! Definitely an indelible part of the soundtrack of my life!!

Digital electronics is why, yes it is crisper & cleaner, louder in some instances, but not better, digital takes away all the Ambience the Analog electronics systems captured. You young folks missed out on the best sound of Quadrophonics. Performers had to be Great to get very far. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, & especially big band music, were all together better back then.
It became ALL about money and the bottom line. Creativity offers too many chances for failure and loss. So they put creativity aside and stick to what brings in the most money.
@@GP-yc2it This Soul Train, American Bandstand and Austin City Limits were staples of my youth. I can thank my awesome wonderful mother for my love of music (RIP Mom I love you!) and shows like this made it all that much easier to love music!
It’s them singing live, but they took the additional woman voices off the track. The women that sang with them were a group called The Sigma Sweethearts that consisted of Barbara Ingram,Carla Benson,and Yvette Benton. They were on many of Thom’s productions as they were needed because the guys would sometimes sing too low. They were also on many of Thom’s friends Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s productions.
I remember reading somewhere, that when Kansas was invited to be on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, they INSISTED on playing live- even though it was customary to lip sync on TV. Then they came out and played "The Pinnacle"!!! Knocked it out of the park, too. The vid was on here a few years back, but got taken down... Those guys were the real deal.
During this era, you had to look as good as you sounded, not like nowadays going on stage with jeans and a t-shirt. Everyone was dressed to the nines and had the moves - so you were getting a complete top notch show. I miss those days. 🥰
I remember everyone laughed at these matching clothes back then. They were never considered fashionable. The music is fantastic the fashion not so much
we who grew up with this music permeating the airwaves, playing everywhere... on the bus, in the bodegas as you pass by, we were blessed. Keep spreading the joy brother!
Ooh love the spinners, saw them live in the 70s doing rubberband man. They had a Hugh high rubberband as a prop. It was a great show. Jamel tomorrow Daryl Hall 75th birthday if u do any H&O.
Hey Jamel! Just wanted to say I love your brothers! You guys are just so much fun to watch! I love it when brothers hang out, have fun together, and obviously love and respect each other. Your mom obviously did a fabulous job with you all! Hugs to you, your bros and your mom!!!
YES! And since Jamal likes to see the people dancing, here's a great video of the song from Soul Train! "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine": ruclips.net/video/BUh3Hj2-cCo/видео.html
The Spinners "It's a Shame" from 1970 is a total jam. It pointed the way for Earth, Wind & Fire to fill out over that decade. 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.
Stevie Wonder wrote and produced “It’s A Shame” for the Spinners. G.C. Cameron was the lead singer of that song. Stevie also played drums on the song as well.
When I was a kid, in the late 70's, Burger King was giving away 45's with various hit songs on them. The one I got had this song on it, it's the only song I remember and I fell in love with it and played it so often I wore the groves down.
@@gayleash9712 The Spinners never had any success in Motown, so in the early '70s they moved to Philadelphia, which had taken over as the capitol of Soul/R&B, and the group flourished there with hit after hit after hit.
This song was released when I was 3 years old. My mom loved The Spinners! I can remember her playing The Spinners records all the time and just dancing in the livingroom one song after the other. Good times.🥰 I still listen to them. And when I do, so do the neighbors!!😄🔊📻🎵
I loved The Spinners, and I loved watching The Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack! Thanks for the memories, and for another great reaction! As always, you're the best!!
Oh the good old days when men weren't afraid to be honest about their romantic dreams and feelings. Spinners are legends - many hits in the day. Class in every performance. Butter 🧈 ☺️ love your genuine reactions 💕
When a Motown group met Thom Bell and produced some of the smoothest Philly Soul in the galaxy. Games People Play is one of my all-time favorite songs of ANY genre.
This makes me wanna dust off my parents old 45s and go diggin' in the crates! This is soooo smooth..Those background harmonies! I could listen to them all day!
Love this group. They were one of the groups that helped inspire The Bee Gees. They also liked the Delphonics can’t remember the other Philly group at the moment.
Here’s one for you, Angela Streli singing Don’t Fall For Me. She’s backed up by SRV, his brother, and Kip Wilson on harmonica. This is the REAL blues. Nobody sings it like Angela!
The Spinners were originally from Detroit but later moved to Philly to work with the great producer Thom Bell.The Spinners,Stylistics,Temptations,Dramatics,Dells and the Delfonics were just some of the great singing groups of that era.🎶🌴
There were so many great groups back then that I could stay here all day naming them.The O' Jays,The Whispers,The Moments,Isley Bros,The Manhattans,The Chi-lites,Jackson5,Blue Magic,The Miracles,The Emotions,The Staple singers...and the list goes on.🌞🌴
Listen to Philipe Wynne sing "Love Don"t Love Nobody", the long version; I dont think there's a live video but its a must listen. Saw them live several times they're my favorite for sure, Philipe Wynne was the greatest.
This was what I got to dance to in the late 60s; the Spinners and the Four Tops were my very favorite. They all had such style and grace; that day is sadly long gone.🙁
One of our favorite groups a lot of good memories tied to their music for me and my wife. They started in the 50s and are still going. We have seen them live over 30 times. 35 years of marriage and whole lot of time grooving to their music. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. ✌
Saw them live on the concert stage at Disneyland when I was a preteen. They were awesome. The total package. Smooooooth! They sounded and looked this good live. Very memorable!
The Spinners hold a special place in my heart somehow as a little kid in the 70s . To hear their songs now bring back such happy and melancholy memories .
It was the same back then we would hear these songs and most of us wished we had the balls to say it to the girl we liked I know I wished I did! I was in high school at this time.
Love that sound. Whenever I see one of these groups I want to watch 'The Five Heartbeats' again. If you've never seen it, check it out. Great little movie.
Man I love the Spinners. I learned this on the guitar along with a few other motown staples. This music is so good for the soul...they can't write like this any longer 💯❤
what a great selection. this was one of my favorites when i was a little girl. i forgot about this song. Oh my gosh, I remembered every word. I had a blast singing along. Thanks for blessing my night with that song
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️THE SPINNERS….ALWAYS HAVE. My babysitter would always bring her Spooner’s records over and they just bring such fond memories to me. Their lyrics were so loving and beautiful and the girls were so unique. All of the original members are gone now but they have a younger generation of spinners still touring.
The Spinners and the Stylistics sung some of my favorite songs growing up in the 70s. Such a shame today's music can't compare. True singers and musicians...
Grew up listening to the Spinners. While living in Detroit from '74-'77, we ran into a couple of those cats in Southfield. They were always gracious and considerate.
Philip Wynne was one of the most underrated soul singers ever. You should check out the full length version of Love don't love nobody , one of the great vocal performances.
He really was. Simply doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Unsure why he was relegated to the final part of the jam here either - Spinners were at their very best when he was front and centre, simple as that.
So many great soul and r and b groups back in the day. Spinners, stylistics, o' jays, Tavares, etc. You wonder what happened to these types of groups and this true talent. All these greats just spoke to every one and influenced artists of all genres.
Growing up in the 70s (albeit I didn't start listening to music until around 1977), the Spinners were a staple on the radio. Smooth sailing with Bobby Smith singing lead.

No sound. 😥
Gotta hit Rubberband Man and get ready to dance!!
Bringing back my childhood!!!!! Love it!!!!
JAMAL!! Listen to the studio version! It came out the year I was conceived. It might have been partially responsible.
Back in the day, it was normal for men to express sentimentality, vulnerability, hurt, love, and joy. A real man is not afraid of his emotions.
Those were the days.
Not everybody was a lover boy back in the day, but most of us wished we were! Hey, that's another great band "Lover Boy"!
The human heart was definitely in a better place and desire for true love was the norm.
And to show love and caring through song. Almost a reverence for the feeling in love, relationships, good feelings longing for harmony between the couple. Sad music aura last 10 yesrs. Negative, disrespectful, deviant, devisive, perverted, disgusting demonic lyrics and songs.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "I'll Be Around."
I was requesting that one months ago along with this song. "I'll Be Around" is one of my all-time favorites.

@@dennis2966%💯 Perfectly explained👏👍👌✌️
@@dennis2966 the dumbing down of America.
These really were live performances - no lip synching to prerecorded singing.
It's live singing, against a tape of the original single with the vocal tracks removed. Basically karaoke of themselves.
The Midnight Special was an awesome show, and for many of us, the only way to see live acts.
@@GP-yc2it This Soul Train, American Bandstand and Austin City Limits were staples of my youth. I can thank my awesome wonderful mother for my love of music (RIP Mom I love you!) and shows like this made it all that much easier to love music!
@@TonyShepps Thanks for the clarification. 👍🙂
It’s them singing live,
but they took the additional woman voices off the track.
The women that sang with them were a group called
The Sigma Sweethearts that consisted of
Barbara Ingram,Carla Benson,and Yvette Benton.
They were on many of Thom’s productions as they were needed because the guys would sometimes sing too low.
They were also on many of Thom’s friends Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s productions.
There's a reason we revisit music like this DECADES later, because it's quality.
Facts
The great dancing! The matching suits. The sweet harmony. This takes me back to a memorable time. Love this so much!
The Spinners had the same choreographer that the Temptations had .
Man so many of us absolutely LOVE the style of Motown groups I wish there was a group today that had the guts to bring it back!
Grew up on Philly Soul. Still sounds as great as back then.
Me too. Philly born and raised and so many memories of listening to all this great music.
TSOP “MFSB” featuring The Three Degrees. Bring back more memories?
@@douggaijin Yes! I was thinking of TSOP. Is that the song with the only words, "Let's get it on. It's time to get down"?
@@debd353 that’s the one. Theme song for Soul Train.
PHILLY in the House ! 🎼🎶🎤
Takes me back to 1972 when the song came out; I was 12 years old. Wonderful memories. Thank you, Jamel.
I was 5 years old i remember hearing this come on the radio loved it still do,grew up on motown
I was 9. I grew up on this stuff. Can’t beat it.
I was 12, too. Great memories of them.
I was 8 years old!!
One of my favorite Spinners' songs is Then Came You, with Dionne Warwick.
To quote the Spinners themselves : "So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man!"
From RubberBand Man!
Heaven made you specially… Damn… they just don’t write’m like that anymore, do they? Thank you for reminding me how good the spinners were!
Feels like there is a entire generation of youngsters that have never heard this great music, so much great R&B from the 60's & 70's.
the midnight special and don kirshner’s rock concert, where performing separated the amateurs from the professionals REAL quick.
I remember reading somewhere, that when Kansas was invited to be on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, they INSISTED on playing live- even though it was customary to lip sync on TV. Then they came out and played "The Pinnacle"!!! Knocked it out of the park, too. The vid was on here a few years back, but got taken down...
Those guys were the real deal.
exactly :)))) Great time...was home on time to watch it every weekend!!!
I love this song! Brings back memories of school dances, platform shoes and bell bottoms. Ha!
During this era, you had to look as good as you sounded, not like nowadays going on stage with jeans and a t-shirt. Everyone was dressed to the nines and had the moves - so you were getting a complete top notch show. I miss those days. 🥰
Yeah, but they're $650 jeans . . . lol
I remember everyone laughed at these matching clothes back then. They were never considered fashionable. The music is fantastic the fashion not so much
There is a special place in my heart for the Spinners! Classic 70s soul!
This is still played on the radio after all these years. Good hit!
Phillipe Wynn was 1 of the greatest lead male R&B vocalists ever
Greatest ad libber of all time
But Bobby Smith leads on this and "I'll Be Around".At least until Phillipe couldn't hold back any more 😂

Thanks I will watch it 👍
…and Mr. Hall has still got it.
I grew up listening to the Spinners, AL Green, The Stylistics, etc. Some of the best music to hit the airwaves. 😊💜
I am reminded of being a kid, listening to this song and others. I am now 47. 😊
Hey Jamel! Just wanted to say I love your brothers! You guys are just so much fun to watch! I love it when brothers hang out, have fun together, and obviously love and respect each other. Your mom obviously did a fabulous job with you all! Hugs to you, your bros and your mom!!!

I was a kid when this song came out, and it still brings back memories of my Mom playing the radio in the kitchen and cooking supper. Good times…☺️💜

@@kencody4287 Oh right. Thanks. It's that sound.
One of my favorite Spinners songs is "Then Came You" w Dionne Warwick!! You have to listen to that one!

Love this group. They were one of the groups that helped inspire The Bee Gees. They also liked the Delphonics can’t remember the other Philly group at the moment.
I absolutely love them....great music that was lost
Miss the soul music of yesterday. Spinners, Barry White etc... wish i had a time travel machine.
The 70's soul was so wonderful, but the greatness was in the writers and producers especially this one Mr. Tom Bell
Love this group music was great back then thank you jamal
Possibly my favorite song...and I listen to all other kinds of music. I have loved music for 60 years, right from mothers womb.
The first 45 rpm single that I owned!
I can picture in my mind the fold-away record player we had...
Seems like 3 or 4 lifetimes sgo..❤️❤️❤️
Here’s one for you, Angela Streli singing Don’t Fall For Me. She’s backed up by SRV, his brother, and Kip Wilson on harmonica. This is the REAL blues. Nobody sings it like Angela!
The Spinners were originally from Detroit but later moved to Philly to work with the great producer Thom Bell.The Spinners,Stylistics,Temptations,Dramatics,Dells and the Delfonics were just some of the great singing groups of that era.🎶🌴
Don't forget Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes (with a young Teddy Pendergrass!). Nor should the sisters of Philly be forgotten, The Three Degrees!

I saw The Spinners and Eddie Holman in concert together. They were fantastic.
The Spinners performed for my wedding reception . Such a magical time.
I loved The Spinners and I loved this song.
Listen to Philipe Wynne sing "Love Don"t Love Nobody", the long version; I dont think there's a live video but its a must listen. Saw them live several times they're my favorite for sure, Philipe Wynne was the greatest.
Yes sir, but don't forget "Mighty Love" and "Sadie." Those two are my favorite songs led by him.
This was what I got to dance to in the late 60s; the Spinners and the Four Tops were my very favorite. They all had such style and grace; that day is sadly long gone.🙁

Love the Spinners. My favorite from them "Games People Play". Has to be the perfect song. Such a masterpiece.
I was 7 years old in 1972 and my now late dad must have played this song a thousand times that year!!
:-* I adore Bobby Smith and his voice!!!!! My favorite song EVER!!! Spinners rule!! :-D Thank you, MEL!
Man that song brings back memories. I think it was constantly in the background everywhere you went up until at least 1983.
The Spinners hold a special place in my heart somehow as a little kid in the 70s . To hear their songs now bring back such happy and melancholy memories .
It was the same back then we would hear these songs and most of us wished we had the balls to say it to the girl we liked I know I wished I did! I was in high school at this time.
the whispers. And the beat goes on. Omg I love the dancing 😍. Awesome. Such groove. Man
Been a DJ for almost 40 years and The Spinners are and always will be my favorite R&B group.
This certainly is a romantic song.
It puts me in mind of Tavares Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.
Love that sound. Whenever I see one of these groups I want to watch 'The Five Heartbeats' again. If you've never seen it, check it out. Great little movie.
What a great old song from the 70s. You just pick up singing all of the words you hadn't heard in years! Music is so special.
Thanks Friend
The Spinners for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Man I love the Spinners. I learned this on the guitar along with a few other motown staples. This music is so good for the soul...they can't write like this any longer 💯❤
This isn't motown, it's Philly Soul. Wrong city, wrong decade.
This Is Not Motown
