No but its all good she just needs to realize she should give props to who she is singing with! They had more in the top 15 than she can even remember. True Vocal Masters!
I remember I taped this whole show on VHS now it's been erased or taped over. Anyone know where I can get the whole show from start to finish? It had various artists from the 70's.
I saw the original spinners back in 1977 (so glad that I did, because I couldn't afford it). They were my favorite group along with The Stylistics back in the 70's. Booby looks good and this is a good rendition!!! However, Mighty Love is not the same without the great Phillippe doing his improvised thing. Although the new replacement is doing an excellent job!
I was so overwhelmed watching The Spinners that I didn't realize I was watching Taylor Dayne, the most under-recognized female Soul Singer in the business ! Go, Taylor !
i remember hearing this song with low-lite chicago sports on a summer evening in i think 1974 when the pirates beat the cubs 22-0. that record still stands.
@Icynene You know I have watched a lot of Bobby Smith performances and he actually sounds better now in some videos than he did during this time period. I wonder if he had a stroke. If you look at the side of his face he sounds different than he does in other shows. John Edwards is the man though, and I would still give Bobby Smith props because he is the group. But I think he had a stroke that is why his voice declined.
When music was real and meant something. This was powerful. It moved people. Motivated people. I regret not seeing these guys in concert. I'm just too young.
The problem is that TODAYS BROTHERS have to look tough and be tough....It makes no sense because it should of been the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.....All the senseless racism was in the 50's 60's and 70's...They would have a reason to look tough, mean and MAD....Today EVERYBODY LOVES Everybody...All you got to do is pull your paints down and puts some gold teeth in and come out with a song about THE GANGSTA life and your rich...Its a BUNCH OF BULLSHIT...Grow up BROTHERS....LOSERS
Only thing missing is Phillippe "Soul" Wynne. Man could he take us to church or what!!! Anybody rememebr the 1975 Grammy's when the Spinners performed "Mighty Love" how Phillippe Wynne sang all over that building up and down the aisles and they couldn't take him off the stage!
WHY DO YOU GUYS KEEP ON ABOUT THE COLOUR OF THE PERSON AS IF IT MEANS SOMTHING THAY CAN ALL SING IN THE 70S I NEVER SAW THE COLOUR THAY WERE, I SAW PEOPLE SINGING GREAT SONGS I CAN NOT SAY THAT THESE DAYS ,RAY ANDREWS
WHY DO YOU GUYS KEEP ON ABOUT THE COLOUR OF THE PERSON AS IF IT MEANS SOMTHING THAY CAN ALL SING IN THE 70S I NEVER SAW THE COLOUR THAY WERE, I SAW PEOPLE SINGING GREAT SONGS
John Edwards had the best voice. What a singer!! WOW, specially when he sings the big hit in the 80'ies "Working My Way Back to You"/"Forgive Me, Girl" I read somewhere that he couldn't sing anymore because of the stroke. Life sucks to often.
I WENT TO A SPINNERS CONCERT AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER STILL SINGING. ARE THE REST STILL LIVING? ONE OF MY FAVORITE GROUPS, MY DAD USE TO LISTEN THEM ALL THE TIME
Always a big Spinners fan - Saw them in the 70's at Golf Mill Theatre in the round in Niles, IL. Also saw the J5plus2 there. Noted in my youth that the Spinners were on the RCA label at a time when most of the black groups where Motown acts.
Sueintexas I feel bad 3 weeks and noone has answered your question! All of the Spinners are original members except John Edwards (he sings lead on Mighty Love) He replaced Phillipe Whynne in 1977. I believe that this video is from 1990 when they where all still together. Since then Edwards had a stroke and had to leave the group after 25+ yrs. Billy Henderson died in 2007 and Pervis Jackson (Mr 12:45) died in08/09. Now only 2 of the original menbers are left Henry Fambrough and Bobby Smith.
Wow! One of my favorites 70's songs (Games People Play) and I didn't even know it was those awesome Spinners. They truly are one of the best bands ever. Thank you Spinners! You guys are real Americana!
Great performance of Never Knew Love Before, BTW.
The Spinners actually go way way back to the early sixties. Yes, they really don't get a lot of credit for their longevity. John Edwards was fantastic! And the music from the fifties, sixties and seventies was truly the geatest!
Couldnt sgree with you more 1980triumph! John Edwards doesnt get enough credit for his contibution to the group. A little known fact is that Edwards stayed with the group almost 25yrs to Phillipes 5!
I am a big Phillpe fan but always admired John as his replacement. I couldn't imagine anyone other than John to replace Phillpe, he isn't an original but came in and did his thing, this video is proof of that.....bless them, for my money love the Spinners more than the Temps, Tops and O Jays
Is that Taylor Dane refusing to harmonize? They could have rufused to wear those shirts, right? That's what I call a wardrobe malfunction. Love the Spinners though (sans Gheri curl)
To "FABFLAVORFAB" ... I don't know who the female singer is but I DO know it is NOT Dionne Warwick as the next poster suggested. Dionne Warwick is African American.
Style, class and talent BEYOND words!!!!! They are ALL incredibly gifted but, omg ... I'm lesbian and Mr. Bass Man ... I'm in Love! Well, with your voice anyway ... lol.
Cont- Bell begged Wynne not to leave but his response was" he was the group!" The spinners went on a had 2 more top 5 hits in 1980. Phillipe had no solo success. He died on stage of a heart attack in 1984. The 4 founding member of the spinners were together for over 40 yrs.
Billy Henderson died in 07 and Pervis Jackson in 08. Bobby Smith and Henry Fambrough are still touring. One last shameful fact. The spinners are not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Some facts on the spinners. Their 1st hit was in 1961. After being signed by Motown they were overlooked and performed odd jobs for the company like driving around the big acts. Signing with Atlantic in1971 producer Thom Bell (the main reason for their success) chose them to work with. Phillipe Wynne joined the group in 1971 and stayed until 1977. Success went to his head and he began missing shows forcing thje group to search for a replacement. That replacement was John Edwards.
In this version of the spinners ther are 4 of the original founding members. The one in the center is Bobby Smith who sang lead on most of their biggest hits. The other lead stationed on the right is John Edwards. He replaced Phillipe Wynne in 1977 and stayed until he suffered a stroke in 2000. He stayed with the group longer that all of the previous lead singers put together! 23yrs!
I went to Circle Star too!! What a great place to see a concert!! I saw The Spinners there and the Tempts, Ojays, Blue Magic, 4 Tops, Chi Lites and so many more..Those were some great times in the 70's
OMG..circle star was the place to see all the groups ..temps and spinners used to play new years eve....right? wow where has the time gone..however still love the songs...thanks to u-tube:)

@Bass35744 someone should post The spinners - Heavy On The Sunshine and hear Pervis really Take it home with his line in the second to last chorus " we'll be safe and warm inside our hearts". I always have to crack the volume a little higher as it comes to his part so I can get that deep rumbling Basso Profundo
@dbthegroovemaster I am well with you groovemaster, love that Bass Man Pervis Jackson. I am always looking forward to where he comes in on Games People Play. I have always loved a Bass man. Melvin Franklin is one of my favorites along with Paul Robeson of "Ole Man River" fame in "Showboat, Richard Sterban of the Oakridge Boys, and Bill Pinkney. Next I like Baratones like Brook Benton, Arthur Prysock, Vaughn Monroe etc.
@lookingback62 A good Gibbs smack in the head for me. Way too many bass men out there to list them all, but how the heck did I leave out Barry White??? What a DS.
No but its all good she just needs to realize she should give props to who she is singing with! They had more in the top 15 than she can even remember. True Vocal Masters!

whos the dark deep voice ?
genuineforce 2 years ago
That's Mr 12:45 himself, the late Purvis Jackson who died last August of cancer. His voice can be heard on many of the Spinners 70's hits.

That's the worlds greatest bass singer Pervis Jackson! My friend and idol, R.I.P. "12:45".

@Bass35744 someone should post The spinners - Heavy On The Sunshine and hear Pervis really Take it home with his line in the second to last chorus " we'll be safe and warm inside our hearts". I always have to crack the volume a little higher as it comes to his part so I can get that deep rumbling Basso Profundo

@dbthegroovemaster I am well with you groovemaster, love that Bass Man Pervis Jackson. I am always looking forward to where he comes in on Games People Play. I have always loved a Bass man. Melvin Franklin is one of my favorites along with Paul Robeson of "Ole Man River" fame in "Showboat, Richard Sterban of the Oakridge Boys, and Bill Pinkney. Next I like Baratones like Brook Benton, Arthur Prysock, Vaughn Monroe etc.

@lookingback62 A good Gibbs smack in the head for me. Way too many bass men out there to list them all, but how the heck did I leave out Barry White??? What a DS.

that's funny, my friends/I referred to him as 12:45; I didn't know others did too ...
R.I.P. 12:45
