Really impressive. Gotta love the Spinners and Joni is so perfect with them. Wow. Thanks for sharing!!

I loved 'the bump'

Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special is a national treasure.

I love the Spinners.

Joni sounds great here!

I actually like this one better than Dionne (and I like Dionne,) she has a unique voice that lends a nice tone to an already great song. This arrangement is cool, too- I like the extra brass.

@charlie8575 I couldn't agree with you more!! I really love this performance of the song. Joni does add that something special to this set!

Kathy was 16 back in '75 - way too young. Joni was the next one - she was about 18 or 19 at the time

@solesirching73 wrong it goes carol, debbie, joni, kim, then kathy. But You are right about Jonie she was 18 or 19 here.

@dutico You must be a TRUE fan. Not many people know about eldest sister Carol

[glencro]

@solesirching73 Plus Kathy was rocking the ponytails and looked waaay too young. It would have looked like a pedifile singing to her. Joni did her thing

[kclark1169]

They only let kathy Sledge sing lead

[andrewfrancis74]

Nice to see another Sledge other than the lead singer centerstage !

[glencro]

@andrewfrancis74 I agree. Kathy is great but the other sisters can definitely hold their own. Debbie Sledge is also an incredible lead singer.

[kidgloss]

Fabulous. Great to see Joni centre stage! Love her.

Thank you so much for posting this version. I saw the Spinners on tour in the UK with Sister Sledge, ben E King and The Jimmy Castor Bunch and this version brings it all back. Cheers, Paul, Southampton, England
