Really like it, nice smooth early 60's sound. Thanks also for the history lesson. I had no idea these guys used to be the El Domingoes. Great post! Thank you.
Anyone who digs the Spinners will remember this masterpeice. who is the floating tenor?? Is it Henry ?? Some say Harvey also is on this recording?? Please say a prayer for Harvey . He would always take time and sign his name for me at Smokey's concerts.
Some of my friends don't remember the old Spinners songs like me. I would like U-Tube to post this song in HQ sound for listening pleasure. This Spinners song is too good for listeners to hear in poor quality sound from an old 45 record . Please see what you can do. Also, U-Tube did a hell of a good job in posting HQ sound for another one of my old Spinners' favorite called "Love I'm So Glad Found You". Thanks so much!!!
Oh - my - goodness! I have been looking for this song for decades - literally. The first time I heard it (1962), it was already an oldie. I was in the 7th grade - friends used to get to together and sing this --- just play the record over and over and over--- and sing our hearts out---
Couldn't believe that I still remembered every single word down to the ---
De-ouuooo-oouuoo-waaaaaaa!
My real point - thanks, MotownMaster, for posting, sincerely, I am...
Nice song, but please be careful on posting any of the songs by the Spinners from the Motown era. Motown made several singles by the Spinners from 1961 until 1971 on three different labels, Tri-Phi, Motown and VIP. When the Spinners went to Atlantic from 1972 until 1980, they had hits like "I'll Be Around", "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love", "Mighty Love", "Rubberband Man" and others.
Anyone out there who has the Atlantic 45's and LP's by the Spinners, they will not allowed to be put up on YouTube, because Warner Music Group owns the Spinners songs from the Atlantic years from 1972 until 1980. They will get into a copyright police. Stick with the Motown era from 1961 to 1971, not the Atlantic era from 1972 to 1980.
Was a dj back in the early 60s. played this song and most of all the songs on YouTube. it was an innocent time when rock and roll and i grew up together. i miss it.
Wow!! I had forgotten that I had this song. It must have been almost 50 years since I have heard it. Funny how the words just flowed from my tongue. Great memories. Still sounds just as good too. Thanks :)
Thanks for posting. Great lyrics from a great under appreciated group. These guys sang for a long time and compiled a long list of great jams. Sadie is still one of my favs.

tempts #1,drifters,spinners, dramantics, dells, ojays, chil-lites,manhattans,moonglows,isley bros. harold melvin/teddy and the bluenotes, smokey and the miracles, the trammps,earth, wind and fire, the impressions gladys and the pips the moments, jackson five, switch, the intruders, the spaniels, this my greatest groups all after the tempts, almost forgot the great four tops!and Dennis Edwards temptation revue.
I couldn't agree more, The Spinners have had some good lead singers like George Dixon, GC Cameron, Filipe Wynne, and John Edwards, but Bobbie Smith is my favorite, plus he IS the main lead singer of The Spinners
@MotownMaster I TOTALLY AGREE !!! Bobby Smith was ALWAYS the MAIN LEAD SINGER of the Spinners since the very beginning ...in fact, he's singing lead on THIS SONG !!!
Led by the Spinners' REAL LEAD SINGER!!! the FANTASTIC BOBBY SMITH !! The same man who sang lead on ILL BE AROUND, COULD IT BE I'M FALLING IN LOVE , TRULY YOURS, I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, GAMES PEOPLE PLAY,THEN CAME YOU,and SINCE I'VE BEEN GONE .(no PHILLIPE on THIS one, folks !!! He wasn't even IN the group back then!!!)
They were going to be called "The New Moonglows". Listen to that perfect harmony!! Man, you don't hear that kind of stuff anymore. Thanks for sharing man.
I really love the end when they harmonize!
mmmm weeee oh ou waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
