@MotownMaster I really like that this is your favorite of the Motown songs the Spinners recorded- I like all of their work at Motown, but this one has to hold down the "favorite" spot on my list too.
@mrjoshjones1 I always thought Motown had a lock on some great Male vocalists- Bobby Smith, Ronald Isley and the Monitors' Richard Street had voices that were smooth as velvet, but could also be gritting when needed. Who knows why The Spinners were so continuously kept on the back burner?
A great song by the Spinners. One that I have never heard, and it's a great production...No wonder Thom Bell requested to work with them when they went to Atlantic Records...Thanks for the post!
@hollidayevery The sad thing is that The Spinners really did some great work at Motown that got lost. This one is incredible because the producer, Ivy Jo Hunter, was always pushing the Motown Sound to new limits and directions, so his work was probably harder for the company to see as being "commercial." I also believe there was just so much talent at Motown, the Spinners never got the push they deserved. , I'm really glad you caught this and like it. Thanks for commenting too!
@MotownMaster So happy to have your comments on this song! I too would have to say this is pretty much at the top of my list of Spinners songs during their Motown years. Thanks for commenting!
Isn't that beat amazing? I think this was actually the B-side of the record- (the A-side was "For All We Know") but it's the side I played the most and to this day, I still never tire of it. The vocals are like a brick house! Glad you like the song and thank you for commenting!
My favorite Motown song by them, RIP Pervis,Billy and Chico

Bobby Smith will ALWAYS be one of my favorites!

@tomovox Motown always treated them as an "acquisition" from Anna Records, as opposed to
part of the Motown "family", other than stealing GC away for big sister.
Phooey on Motown and their "sabotaging" of Spinners airplay on R&B stations, Bobby got
the last laugh with producers Thom Bell & Linda Creed....everything turned to Gold!
Bobby is the greatest.
