@1980Triumph - in 1973 I was 12 years old. African American musicians inspired me into my drumming career. Need I mention ALI who was not even Mowtown! Anyhow, I respect these African American men - and women - who have had a profound effect upon me... and I am white! Call me a white European mix. Thank you for posting this. Many good memories : )
Ahhhhhh...... the good old days when live versions sounded as good or better than the recordings! No auto tune, no lip sync, no tracks - just pure talent!
ok ... I give in, I said I will never comment on a video but I need help. I have fallen for Bobby Smith. Where can I see more video of him? I have watched "I'll be around" and this one. He is amazing!! Sly can you set me up????
@smilintamara Bobby is awesome in 'Games people play" also Bobby and Henry are still playing with new members in the group. Type in 'The Spinners in Miami" Bobby is in his 70s now but still a great performer
The Spinners are just amazing. Between Bobby & Philippe's voices and Thom Bell's amazing sound that he created with them, it just boggles my mind that they never won a Grammy and were never inducted into the RRHF.
I say, since the band is still around and still with two original members, it's time for the Grammy's to do right by them and give them a Lifetime Achievement award or something.
I'm Sly of Sly Slick & Wicked from Cleveland Ohio..Nobody's Home, Sho Nuff , etc.. Do not confuse us with the confessing a feeling group who took our trademark.. We are now displayed in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame..
OMG. I am almost in tears listening to this. Man this was my group during my college days in Virginia. No one could touch the Spinners. Well I would say there were a lot of great groups in that era so I will not pick one over the other. Bless you for posting and for those 9 dislikes? I have no clue why.
I absolutely loved the Spinners. I was however disappointed to learn that when Phillipe died only 8 people showed up at his funeral, I hope that wasn't true because it would have been a tragic ending to a man who has given us so much. If anyone knows any details of why his former band mates didn't show up to pay respects then I would be most interested to know. When he split from the group there must have been alot of animosity. Thanks!
The groups of today are a dime a dozen and many wont be remembered 5 years from now, but the bands of the 70s dressed nice, were respectful and kept people focused on them with their smooth dance moves and soulful, meaningful words. They have left their mark and will be remembered forever.
Putting my earphones on, closing my eyes and going back to a more peaceful beautiful time; if only for a little while.
Oh to have these days back. Saw the Detroit Spinners as support to the Four Tops at the Hammersmith Odeon back in 1973 and they blew the mighty Motown band off stage. Phillip Whynne had a great soul voice and what a showman!
@SHGlover007 ..... ah Billy Preston, the Hammond B3 Maestro, the Prodigy, he was in his own universe on the Hammond. I'd put Gregg Allman of the ABB and Lonnie Jordan of War after Billy P. Hey, but this is world class here by Johnny Poindexter on Hammond...you know your stuff SHGlover007
@domm1999 you know I think in the last 15 years I've really started to appreciate the music from the 70's. I was born in 1970, so I always liked it but now I listen for something different...not sure what it is, but I definitely love it now! lol It's funny that you mention the Hammond B3, I had a photoshop training class and the guy that was the trainer said that his great uncle was the maker of the Hammond!!!!!!! It was totally random conversation too!!
If you go to our song on You Tube Stay My Love by Sly, Slick & Wicked , you'll hear them with the exception of Ryland Harris.. Ryland took Kenny Brown's place on when Kenny left The Belltelefunk [Dazz Band] and became bass player/ band leader for Gladys Knight & the Pips.
If only the current generation of musicians could understand a true stage performance like this.... anybody can synch digital music software, few can execute effortless stage choreography like the Spinners, and only a musician can give a Hammond B3 divine audience inspiration like Johnny Poindexter here, or the late Billy Preston. Such talent still exists but there doesn't seem to be Producers finding them or an audience who demands they do so with their wallets.
@domm1999 I couldn't agree more! You know before the post below identified the organ player I did think it was Billy Preston! Now he could truely make on organ SING!!!! lol lol
@Musicmellow thanks for the Spinners backing musician info. I didn't know who it was before your ID, but Johnny Poindexter was scorching the Hammond B3/Leslie on this one, most OUTSTANDING! And of course the Spinners are ALWAYS outstanding, epic.
On Organ was Johnny Poindexter, on Guitar was Joel Jackson on drums was Sim London, from Cleveland , Ohio they were from The Belltelefunk who became The Dazz Band. They played on our first single.. I've known all of them since we were teenagers. We went to John F. Kennedy High School.
@Musicmellow Good lookin out on the info!!!!! Now I FINALLY know who's playing. This was a great live performance. The Dazz Band was 1 of my favorite groups in the 80's "Let It Whip"!!!!!!! They did a good performance of that song on Soul Train back in the day! lol
@Musicmellow Hi do you play isn a band? I was reading your post & you mentioned that they played on your 1st single!!!! I've been wanting to ask you, just been a bit busy. lol lol lol
These are the day's when music meant something from the heart! today you don't see it as much nor does it ring as true as did with band's such as the "Spinner's"
I think Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine are now on notice that this original Rock and Roll Music is far greater than his little ole magazine will ever be. And, we're watching them carefully. We will not permit them to continue to deny these great artists induction in THEIR own Hall of Fame!
spinners > o'jays & temps, but tops? imo, no. but to be fair the better comparison of styles is with the temps and o'jays. the tops were more raw. it's a matter of taste. GREAT VID!!!!
Bobbie Smith....singing The Spinners and Chicago are two of the greatest acts to come from the 60's 70's era of music, both have been ignored by Jann and his Hall.
When Atlantic Records offered Thom Bell a long list of acts he could produce, the Spinners name was LAST on the list. Bell remembered a Song He loved by them...."That's What Girls Are Made For" and immediately wanted to produce them. The top brass from Atlantic tried to steer him from producing the Spinners because the act was about to be dropped
1972 was a major year for Thom Bell. He produced the debut album by the Stylistics, considered by many to be one of the greatest sweet Soul albums of all time, and,contributed such classics as "Betcha By Golly Wow" He also provided production and arrangement work on the O'Jays' Backstabbers album and completed one of HIS greatest works, the Spinners' (which included "I'll Be Around," "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" and "Ghetto Child,), In the view of many, the decade's greatest album
i was at home watching this on tv and my daddy caught me and had the belt in his hand but when i started singing he was alright he was clapping his hands and cheering me on. he made me such an happy boy and when my grand mother died he had me to sing at her funeral and everybody was in love with my voice. thanks to my ol' man for believing in me and not beating me that night in 1973. my kids sing to me and i still sing for my daddy, and when i went to beat my son ass he stop me and said no lmao
Today The Spinners were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2012. All those who want them in, go to Rockhall.com and vote on the online poll. Vote early and often for them! This poll doesn't mean much, but it will show the Rockhall the Spinners fans are supportive and want them inducted now.
Why are The Spinners not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (RRHOF)? The Chairman of the "non-profit" RRHOF Foundation is the co-founder of the "for profit" Rolling Stone Magazine and he 'favors' punksters and hip-hoppers. Yes, it's a conflict of interest, but he's first among equals. And, some are more equal than others! Hopefully, The Spinners will be admitted with the Class of 2012. That's our plan, anyway.
More Importantly, Ya'll See Stan Lathan (Directed This And Sanaa Lathan Dad), Once again. wow. And Anna Horsford (Dee From The Wayans And Thelma From Amen) As Co-ProDucer! They Both Got That Long Money. lol. Great Song as well.
I have always loved this type of music. I grew up with old, as in black and white movies, and REAL CLASSIC music. Everything from Mozart and Beethoven to Soul to oldies... I wouldn't trade that for anything else. 90% of what is out there isn't worth the sound waves that carry it.
everyone I hacked into my boyfriends account.... and I want to apologize for all the racist crap he said... Please don't take it personally... and please forgive the words he says...
@GroizerRobo The music industry has become BUSINESS instead of entertainment and talent. If someone can sing a note halfway right and is marketable, which means that their looks and body is great, someone will have a record deal waiting for them. Very little talent in today's music. I guess that is why I listen to great music like this.
@laisseoublier if you have to show your ignorance and hate FOOL,then why don't you take your punk butt somewhere else. you're a loser just like all low life racist are.
All y'all older folks talking about soul music has died need to do a little more digging. True the gems are not in the abundance they once were, but there are some great artists putting put great music. I suggest y'all peep Jill Scott, music soulchild, Angie stone, dwele,
Sophisticated soul. Boy, I miss the days of of class, style and maturity in soul music and music in general. At least there were some male singers who acted like respectable men and sang about love and emotion and not just what woman they would screw and abuse next.
Damn the 70's had so many sweet soul sounds. The Spinners, The O'jays Harold Melvin, The Chi-Lites, early Hall & Oates. Where has all this great music gone???
Live Bands were present in most old school groups. NO more!! Raw Talent. The acoustics today can cover up what's not there. Nothing like old school classics. Love the spinners.
The days before autotune and computers destroyed music!!! These guys have more talent than any of these singers today who are so reliant on computer programs to make their voices sound better
@prckay Same here, I'm 24 and I only listen to music from the 50s to the 80s, I can't listen to much music after that period, it's either ripped off of older music or just plain horrible...
gadd, what a great group ... such creativity, subtlety, expressiveness, harmony ... Detroit was the capital of everything cool in America in the 1960's and 70's.
I love everything the Spinners sang. Hard to believe with their singing, and stage presentations they aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame. They crossed over on the charts with many of their hits. Love this group!!!
I thought I was in church for a minute......there will never ever be any one who can ""sang" like Phillipe Wynne. I don't think there is anyone around these days who can?
@MzSouthernGirl There is a good reason for that! I play for a gospel quartet. I think the Spinners ,Temptations and Marvin Gaye, are the reason Black Gospel Quartet music is so nice!
Outside of Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin with the Temps, there was no better duo in a group than Bobby Smith and Philippe Wynne!! Perhaps my favorite group of all-time.
I DONT KNOW IF ITS FAIR TO SAY BETTER THAN THE OJAYS OR TEMPTATIONS, I THINK THEY ALL OCCUPY THE #1 SPOT, WE HAD SOME TALENTED BROTHERS & SISTERS BACK THEN. NOWADAYS, FAR & FEW IN BETWEEN. LETS LIFT ALL THE SOUL GROUPS UP!
Bobbie Smith and Phippe Wynne sound so much alike. Sometimes it is hard to tell who is singing lead if you are not seeing them on perform. Philippe sounds a little different on songs but it can be hard to tell or is it just me?
Go Phillipe,

back in the day when soul music was sweet sounds of love, friendship and brotherhood.. no mentions of gats, hoes, bling or hurting anyone..

Damn the 70's had so many sweet soul sounds. The Spinners, The O'jays Harold Melvin, The Chi-Lites, early Hall & Oates. Where has all this great music gone???

Live Bands were present in most old school groups. NO more!! Raw Talent. The acoustics today can cover up what's not there. Nothing like old school classics. Love the spinners.

The days before autotune and computers destroyed music!!! These guys have more talent than any of these singers today who are so reliant on computer programs to make their voices sound better

@dyermaker71 I am 22 year old Guy I agree i prefer the music from the late50s-early 80s... music has gone down hill
prckay 7 months ago 2
@prckay Same here, I'm 24 and I only listen to music from the 50s to the 80s, I can't listen to much music after that period, it's either ripped off of older music or just plain horrible...

I love everything the Spinners sang. Hard to believe with their singing, and stage presentations they aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame. They crossed over on the charts with many of their hits. Love this group!!!

I thought I was in church for a minute......there will never ever be any one who can ""sang" like Phillipe Wynne. I don't think there is anyone around these days who can?

@MzSouthernGirl I was thinking about this today. Out of people who are popular, I would think Robert Randolph is the only one who could pull it off.

@MzSouthernGirl There is a good reason for that! I play for a gospel quartet. I think the Spinners ,Temptations and Marvin Gaye, are the reason Black Gospel Quartet music is so nice!

Outside of Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin with the Temps, there was no better duo in a group than Bobby Smith and Philippe Wynne!! Perhaps my favorite group of all-time.

Had more hits than any other group in their era, besides the Jackson 5. They sang the soundtrack of my childhood.

Bobbie Smith and Phippe Wynne sound so much alike. Sometimes it is hard to tell who is singing lead if you are not seeing them on perform. Philippe sounds a little different on songs but it can be hard to tell or is it just me?
