Spinners live from chicago

[MrGreenProdt]

What is the name of the track starting at 0:12 ?

[KJVWordofGod]

Really liked the salute to the first hit "It's a Shame" intro.

[ventus211]

almighty phelipee!!!

[hallauthor]

Sheer joy! Lets not forget their great musical conductor, Maurice King who was a big behind the scenes part of Motown's successes in the 60s.

[ncmelusa]

sonasty: an original Spinner ;GC Cameron returned to the group when phillip wynn passed. making it all original members except john edwards

[JaysCountrymoma]

Thanks so very much for posting this video. Who performs like this NOW? PHILIPPE was something else what a voice what showmanship.

[dskillzhtown]

I always wondered was there an extended version of 'Then Came You' with Phillippe freestyling longer. I always thought that he was just getting started and the song ends.

[1980Triumph]

I have this same video, I never put it to DVD like I should but its nice good footage of the Spinners in 76

[nola2laca]

Phillipe died n the club "UPPYS {owned by NFL great Gene Upshaw) n downtown Oakland,Jack London Square...

He was performing alone with a band and background singers.

[123djblive]

God bless Phillipe!!!

[SoNasty58]

Now this was when the spinners were on top but they couln't replace phillipe when he passed away that was a sad day maybe one day they will find another as bad as him

[taylor4660]

Philllipe wanted to be Teddy Pendergrass..thats why he left....

[OrgenaII]

@Sonasty58

they had a cat by the name of John Edwards, who was off the chain. heard he got sick, though.

[KingMellow11]

@OrgenaII Yea. John had a stroke. John was a wicked singer as well as Phillippe. Different styles but they both were full of soul.

[PatsBooks]

Fantastic!

[123djblive]

Only 2 original Spinners left!! Should be in the Rock Hall of Fame!!! Fuck Rolling Stone!!!

[DaPoncher]

@123djblive

[nardo8869]

[nardo8869]

[JakeJax]

Just saw the spinners...bobby still sings the hell outta Then came you...really puts his heart in.

[JakeJax]

I thought I was going to get to hear phillipe sing GC's lead on Its a shame. That opening riff was misleading.

they still sounded great though.

[Kingsdaughter73]

That song is so much fun!! Love it. Now it's gonna be stuck in my head!

[beeshor1]

There is a post of Phillipe performing with Funkadelic on YouTube. He sings, 'Uncle Jam'.

[123djblive]

Thanks so much for this!!! The second greatest group next to the Temps!! Miss Phillepe so much!! Damn what happened to soul music?!

[Aspergian]

Has anybody seen my request for this Soundstage episode? Would a video trade work? What would be preferred?

[Aspergian]

Glad to see there are two video files posted here by anmarinc of the November 1976 episode from the original version of the PBS live music show, Soundstage, titled "Goin' Round With The Spinners," produced by PBS member station WTTW Chicago. Does anyone happen to have this program in its entirety? I've been looking for a better quality video of it to have on DVD to replace the copy I have on another DVD, transferred from a poor to fair quality recording off of a VHS cassette I won on Ebay.

[MRSWEETROLLJONES]

Now here's some food for thought...The Spinner's classic favorite "Sadie" was recorded in 1975, shortly after the death of Phillipe Wynne's mother. It was RUMORED that during the actual recording of the song, wynne wept while singing and can be heard if you listen carefully.

[MRSWEETROLLJONES]

So he left the group in 1977 for a solo career. After a breif and unsuccessful solo career, he pastored a church called "The Church Of The Lost Black Sheep" Phillipe did TOUR with Parliament-Funkadelic, but never performed on stage WITH them. Sadly, Phillipe did suffer a fatal heart attack while performing on stage at the Oakland Coliseum in October of 1984.

[Kaejae75]

Actually he did perform on stage with P-funk on the Uncle Jam tour, look up Uncle Jam by Funkadelic- It's hot!!!

[MRSWEETROLLJONES]

What I MEANT was... he was'nt actually a member of Parliament-Funkadelic. But thanks!

[Kaejae75]

He should of been! Anyway got to Love Phillipe. Pour out a little liqour for the soul brotha that's not here!!!!!!

[Meloximan]

Wynne did perform with P-Funk on stage and during a Detroit stop in '80 he actually sang Sadie. Hard to believe Wynne went from the Spinners to gospel, then did the vocals on Just Not Knee Deep!

[taylor4660]

he left. he wanted the solo success Teddy Pendergrass had...

[Msredhoney720]

Yeah, but he didn't have the charm or sex appeal as Teddy. He HAD THE TALENT just not the sex appeal.

[sapas09101952]

He died on July 14th, 1984 while performing at a club called the Ivey.

[BuySatelliteTVNow]

classic group

[Teeski]

Thanks for posting :)

[0mike3]

Two great Spinners videos, thanks for the posting! I hadn't seen the Spinners vs. Bulls since it aired on Ch. 56 Detroit back in the 70s. I would love to see the entire show again, plus the full show from this posting. Thanks again.

[chazzr50]

Not sure but there was another album after this. (Yesterday, Today, and Tommorrow)

[hogan85]

is this phillipe's last performance wit the spinners?

[Mshoney720]

I doubt it! Phillipe performed with the Spinners WELL into the early 80's. He actually was performing with them when he collapsed and died of a heart attack in 1984. This clip looks like it was from the 70's.

[Mshoney720]

OK wait a min, I take that back. Phillipe actually left The Spinners in '77; so I don't know if he was performing with them or perhaps the Funkadelics/George Clinton when he collapsed on stage in '84. I'm unclear about that.

[devernie1]

Phillipe left the Spinners on January 3, 1977, right before the LP "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" was released. He died on stage in a little club in California, during an encore of "Love Don't Love Nobody." Besides Stevie Wonder, Phillipe was my favorite male vocalist. I'll always miss him.

[Mshoney720]

Phillipe was a legend!!! He was a beast vocally especially with the adlibs!!! and to top it off he had excellent stage presence and showmanship!!!

[MRSWEETROLLJONES]

HEY Mshoney baby! Your ass is SO fine! (Lol) But let me put in MY five cents worth of knowledge about Phillipe Wynne. YES...He was indeed a beast vocally! I consider him to be to be one of the defining voices of soul music in the 70's. But OFF stage he was a beast of a different kind. He had an ego comparable to David Ruffin of the Temptations. He felt he was the star of the group and didn't receive enough credit.
