A classic from a different time, and a treasure that shall last forever. Let the younger generation listen and enjoy this old school tune, from a unique and valuable time, when life was simpler.
The Spinners in their Motown days. But like the Isley Brothers and Gladys Knight & the Pips, they never got enough attention and left Motown to reach greater success elsewhere..
This song would have been a "Monster Hit" had Motown promoted it. I rank it right up there with I'll be Around. Featuring the great "Bobby Smith" on lead vocals. A great, great song.
I saw these magnificent artists at the Uptown Theatre in Philly, right before this blue-eyed brother went to 'Nam. Never forgot the experience, because it kept us all going toward the light! Blessings to The Spinners for their really wonderful talent!
Yes, the Uptown did have the blue-eyed brothers in The Magnificent Men ,out of Harrisburg, not The Spinners, but they sang one Spinners hit ,played here.
Bobby Smith was a highly under-rated and under-appreciated lead singer for The Spinners. He never got the recognition due him like Philipe Wynne, John Edwards or even G C Cameron. Bobby was so smooth and yet such a skilled vocalist. RIP.....Bobby Smith.
I'LL ALWAYS DIG THE SPINNERS!!! SAW THEM WITH MY GIRL, IN "THE D", AT MORE VENUES, & TIMES, THAN I CAN COUNT, OR REMEMBER! DURING THE 70'S THRU THE LATE 90'S. GOD, WE HAD SO MUCH HOT FUN, IN THE SUMMER TIME! TRUTH BE TOLD, ALL NITE, & YEAR LONG! GOD BLESS THE SPINNERS.🙏 GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE...🙏😇🙏
Out of the 7 million-selling hit singles THE SPINNERS recorded, BOBBY SMITH sang lead on FOUR: “I’LL BE AROUND”, “COULD IT BE I’M FALLING IN LOVE”, “GAMES PEOPLE PLAY” and “THEN CAME YOU.” Philippe Wynne only led on TWO: “RUBBERBAND MAN” and “ONE OF A KIND LOVE AFFAIR.” (JOHN EDWARDS LED ON ONE: “WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU”) BOBBY also led on the group’s VERY FIRST Single, “THAT’S WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE FOR” in 1961, and on the group’s Motown hits, “TRULY YOURS” and “I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.” so, BOBBY SMITH IS the VOICE of THE SPINNERS . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Smith_(rhythm_and_blues_singer)?wprov=sfti1
I can't get enough of this song either - was not aware they had this extended version - like s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o much - then I only need to play it over 1/2 as much - haha . Went to the Motown Hitsville about 25 years ago - very impressed with it. Did not realize the main room where they recorded was smaller and seemed premative in comparison to what I envisioned. But glad they have preserved it like is was. It was great! I would like to go back again. Has anyone reading this been there?
Janie Wallace yes! My husband and I went. We loved it! We had such a great tour guide. What a feeling it was to stand in the very place where all those legendary greats stood and sang. A trip that I will always remember!
Janie Wallace Neither can I thought I was the only one that felt Tharp way and I think about my grandma, mama and my sister. This song makes me laugh and cry.
He was underrated for sure. I think when you have singers at Motown like David Ruffin, Levi Stubbs who I thought was underrated as well, Philippe Wynne in Philadelphia, g c Cameron who sang"Its a Shame"
Henry Fambrough remains. Such a wonderful group with Bobby Smith, Billy Henderson, Purvis Jackson and Henry representing the strong foundation that made The Spinners superbad in the 60s-80s!
Classic Motown indeed 😎! Love the stomping drums and heavy bass no doubt James Jamerson. I found this song the year after release. Los Angeles radio missed this one!
@Freddie Brown but he kept them around. I heard also that there was tension with Harvey Fuqua because he was married to Berry Gordy sister Gwen. The great Thom Bell said he picked the Spinners to work with from a long list of artists specifically because of Bobbie Smith’s voice.
Grew up down the bottom in West Philly & lived on 17th & Christian from the time I was 9 in 1960 to 18 in 1969. Greatest time of my life even with the gang wars. Enjoyed street corner harmony all the way to battle of the groups at the Uptown & Nixon. Georgie Woods, Jimmy Bishop, Hy Lit WHAT,WDAS,Wibg, Sonny Hopson, Butterball dance on Sunday nights at Town Hall, the crossfire,Cha Cha, silk & wool pants,Italian knits,, high boy shirts, processes at Dons due shop, starting your small fro, Italian loafers & comforts, Motown, the Classic Temptations...What a great time to grow up in Philly! It's all good.
Brought here after listening to "Truly Yours"by the Spinners. Found out there that the Spinners were the group that sang this also. I was more familiar with the Spinners from the mid '70s. I had never connected them with these classics from the '60s

@@dancingnature BOBBY was the Original lead singer of the Spinners from day one.He led on the group’s very first hit in 1961 : “THAT’S WHAT GIRLS ARE MADE FOR”. He led on their hit, TOO YOUNG TOO MUCH TOO SOON, a year or so later. He led on their Motown hits, TRULY YOURS and I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. BOBBY also led on The Spinners’ FIRST MILLION SELLER, I’LL BE AROUND. their SECOND MILLION SELLER, COULD IT BE I’M FALLING IN LOVE, THEIR FOURTH MILLION SELLER , THEN CAME YOU, (with Dionne Warwick) & Their FIFTH MILLION SELLER, GAMES PEOPLE PLAY. In fact , of the SEVEN RIAA CERTIFIED MILLION SELLERS the SPINNERS made, BOBBY SMITH led on FOUR. WYNNE led on only TWO, (ONE OF A KIND and RUBBERBAND MAN) , and JOHN EDWARDS led on one, “CUPID/I’VE LOVED YOU FOR A LONG TIME”. Thom Bell actually said that he signed to work with The Spinners , because of Bobby’s exceptional phrasing of songs.ruclips.net/video/XIQz3WbJpDQ/видео.html

What can I say, that I haven't said already...this is a Motown extension that is up there with the best of what you have done....one of my fave Spinners recordings, and made even better by the Motown Man...thank you John, for this and all you do. Best to you, daveydee
YOUKeeping this blue-eyed brother's connection with my brown-eyed Bros! Vietnam "67 -- '68! As my Irish people say, , If YOU don't count-- WE don't count!:" Love & Blessings to my Bros "The Spinners!" Saw them at The Uptown, Philly, before I went into combat. Saved our lives & minds in the field in 'Nam!
Vinny P, this song, from our special year... you and me, the “Little Red Punk,” our teenage days and nights... all these years later - I’ll always love you! Memories bridge the divide of all these lost years without you.
On this day in 1966 {July 26th} the Spinners performed "I'll Always Love You" on the Dick Clark produced ABC-TV network weekday-afternoon program 'Where The Action Is'... Exactly one year earlier on July 26th, 1965 the song was at #50 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; twenty days later on August 15th it would peak at #35 {for 1 week} and it spent 7 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #8 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart and #7 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... Between 1961 and 1995 the Detroit quintet had forty records on the Hot R&B Singles chart; seventeen made the Top 10 with six reaching #1, "I'll Be Around" for 5 weeks in 1972, "Could It Be (I'm Falling In Love)" for 1 week in 1973, "One Of A Kind (Love Affair)" for 4 weeks in 1974, "Mighty Love" for 1 week in 1974, "Games People Play" for 1 week in 1975, and "Rubberband Man" for 1 week in 1976... Another home run for mosogotam!!!
Heard this Great Song on juke box in 1972-- Long after it came out !! lOVED IT rIGHT AWAY. i never heard it on pop teenn radio == Deprived blue -eyed soul Brother
I would think the most underrated group ''especially on motown' of all time '' love these early upbeat motown classics tis what got me into northern soul in my youth in the early 70s so much emotion in their songs''class'' ktf soulgray''of westbrom''
May covid-19 2022 Hey! would you believe that Berry Gordy personally, himself said that Bobby Smith was not a strong-enough lead singer for The Spinners. Motown didn't really believe in the Spinners talent and ability. That's why they floundered on the label for many years before finally leaving. But, not before their release of the smash-breakout hit "It's a shame" composed and produced by Stevie Wonder. I guess out of respect Motown had to get behind this one for Stevie. I still love-me some early Motown Spinners. "I'll Always Love You".
Bobby Smith would have been a really great lead singer if his skin were lighter , and he looked like Smokey Robinson or Sam Cook. Then with world wide Promotion and Distribution Booby Smith would have captured the attention and respect for his voice and personal charisma. TRULY YOURS. 💏
Whoo hoo the year i graduated high school ages ago but this girl was cool 72 now and still cool i sing and sometimes wish i had of been famous sometimes then i look at my beautiful 7 kids husband of 47 years who just died in 2017 AND SAY NAH LIFE IS GOOD
HI John, Just yesterday I was listening to the original of this and thinking what a great extended version it would make. AllI can say is you've done it again: taken a great song and made it better.
A classic from a different time, and a treasure that shall last forever. Let the younger generation listen and enjoy this old school tune, from a unique and valuable time, when life was simpler.
This is a beautiful song,and holds true to my life,because my wife passed,and i will always love her,47 years of love.
How right you are about this song. Sorry for your loss, but Bobby is probaly singing this song to her for you. Jerld
Bobby Smith was the man. What a voice!!
Nothing more needed to be said about Bobby Smith. Jerold
The Spinners in their Motown days. But like the Isley Brothers and Gladys Knight & the Pips, they never got enough attention and left Motown to reach greater success elsewhere..
I love this song. It really touches my heart.
This song would have been a "Monster Hit" had Motown promoted it. I rank it right up there with I'll be Around. Featuring the great "Bobby Smith" on lead vocals. A great, great song.
They were focusing on The Supremes around this time….
Yea, but the The Temptations eclipsed their shine, unfortunately.
Pure magic great song, lead singer and arrangement in my top 10
I saw these magnificent artists at the Uptown Theatre in Philly, right before this blue-eyed brother went to 'Nam. Never forgot the experience, because it kept us all going toward the light! Blessings to The Spinners for their really wonderful talent!
Off to a war in another persons country to kill , nice
That's funny I never seen no blue eyed brothers at the Uptown Theater! North Philly was one of the Blackest ghettos in the world.
Yes, the Uptown did have the blue-eyed brothers in The Magnificent Men ,out of Harrisburg, not The Spinners, but they sang one Spinners hit ,played here.
Bobby Smith was a highly under-rated and under-appreciated lead singer for The Spinners. He never got the recognition due him like Philipe Wynne, John Edwards or even G C Cameron. Bobby was so smooth and yet such a skilled vocalist. RIP.....Bobby Smith.
I agree with you!! Bobby was the best lead singer and he was also my favorite❤❤
I'LL ALWAYS DIG THE SPINNERS!!! SAW THEM WITH MY GIRL, IN "THE D", AT MORE VENUES, & TIMES, THAN I CAN COUNT, OR REMEMBER! DURING THE 70'S THRU THE LATE 90'S. GOD, WE HAD SO MUCH HOT FUN, IN THE SUMMER TIME!
TRUTH BE TOLD, ALL NITE, & YEAR LONG! GOD BLESS THE SPINNERS.🙏 GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE...🙏😇🙏
How right you are about Bobby. There was no Spinners w/o 'Bobby Smith.' Jerold

I cannot get enough of this song
H. Walter Morgan neither can I
I can't get enough of this song either - was not aware they had this extended version - like s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o much - then I only need to play it over 1/2 as much - haha . Went to the Motown Hitsville about 25 years ago - very impressed with it. Did not realize the main room where they recorded was smaller and seemed premative in comparison to what I envisioned.

He was underrated for sure. I think when you have singers at Motown like David Ruffin, Levi Stubbs who I thought was underrated as well, Philippe Wynne in Philadelphia, g c Cameron who sang"Its a Shame"
It's easy to get overshadowed sometimes
Yes, Bobby was Very Underrated. But it is listiners like you and I that appreciate a voice like Bobby. Jerold
This song says it all to my beloved sister whom I lost in 2017 Miss Linda Webb baby girl I'll Always Love You may God Rest Your Soul
Henry Fambrough remains. Such a wonderful group with Bobby Smith, Billy Henderson, Purvis Jackson and Henry representing the strong foundation that made The Spinners superbad in the 60s-80s!
Classic Motown indeed 😎! Love the stomping drums and heavy bass no doubt James Jamerson. I found this song the year after release. Los Angeles radio missed this one!
Easily , and by far and away , One of the best songs ever recorded at Motown records 👏🎉☑️ !
Bobbie Smith!!! Nothing else to say.
@Freddie Brown but he kept them around. I heard also that there was tension with Harvey Fuqua because he was married to Berry Gordy sister Gwen. The great Thom Bell said he picked the Spinners to work with from a long list of artists specifically because of Bobbie Smith’s voice.
OMG!!! Haven't heard this great song in 50+ years!!! Still Great. … Thank you mosogotam for posting and sharing. …. PEACE to ALL.
If this ain't "The Motown Sound" there ain't none! I luv that foot on the drums!
Motown had great musicians behind their singers. This song was the one that made me fall in love with the Spinners - well the original version anyway
I'll always love me some SPINNERS❤️❤️❤️❤️
Paula, I'm there with you. Jerold
A Teenager in the 60's. The Motown & The Philly Sound. Need I say more.
