@TripleR789 You sir, are incorrect. Your statement implies a similarity between the songs, but aside from the title, they couldn't be more different. Also, The TI song hit 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, whereas this song made it to #2 and stayed there for three weeks.
holy crap i was an adult watching this on aftv thanks for reminding me how old i am i hurt myself trying to do there dance moves 10 minutes ago hahahahahaha
The Spinners are very underrated when people talk about great singing groups! During this era when Phillippe Wynne was singing lead, they weren't too many better groups! Saw them live a couple of times -- fantastic in concert!
Also this from Wikipedia: ""The Rubberband Man" is a song recorded by the American vocal group The Spinners (known as "Detroit Spinners" in the UK).
The song, written by producer Thom Bell and Linda Creed, was about Bell's son, who was being teased by his classmates for being overweight. Intended to make his son feel better about his self-image, the song eventually evolved from being about "The Fat Man" to "The Rubberband Man". Inspiration for greatness usually comes from pain, eh?
Man these guys were great! I remember when this came out, in '76 I believe. They played this at our high school graduation dance, and I remember thinking, "this is one for the ages"! The music of this time, not only disco, but all 70s music, had so much heart and soul, and was performed by people with real TALENT! The talent of yesterday has been replaced by technology, lip synching and editing to market to the America of today. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
@Crazea there were office max commercials a couple years ago with this song in it. The "rubber band man" in the commercials played crabman on my name is earl. And the show isnt on any more so, rip crabman
Takes me back to fun times when I was like 13 :) I love their style--all the Soul groups had that cool style--man --this show was so good too--Thanks for posting :)
@jayelldude no one's attacking blacks except YOU. You impersonate people and say the most horrible things about blacks--calling them low IQ monkeys, etc. we are in discussion with YouTube attorneys right now. They've located your internet account. Next steps to follow.
@takfam07 the I never use the word low IQ monkey for my people..that's your bag,,,,,gop tell the attorneys to go after all of those whites calling black people niggers and saying that they want to kill blacks...you think the word attorney scares me...You have to prove your lies.You are such a weak coward..you want to continue your hate towards blacks,,,well I can't allow you to do that.I am going to gather all on here who have an issue with you.You there are plenty
@jayelldude You sent me a private message on December 16 which said: "you know damn well niggers are ignorrant (sic), so why defend them...low IQ monkeys can never be taught, so why try."
Look, we don't know what your racist problem is. But we're confident that our efforts to block you are proceeding apace. Expect to be contacted.
@takfam07 you are trying to build a case by sending me these fake messages
nice try!..you are breaking down like a girl because you expect blacks to bend to all of your pseudo book knowledge.You are japenese,so why do you come to a black video and insult blacks with racist insults daily..what's your problem...you think your con will work,,it's not working,,now you are lying and saying I sent you a message saying black folks are monkeys,,,lol!..nice try racist
@exkythimble - the issue that takfam07 is referring to is the lack of shame and respect that most of the artists of today exhibit, mainly the Rap artists and culture.
@eckythimble - you don't know what the hell you are talking about. The 70's were filled with high interest rates, high inflation, the hostage taking of the American embassy, the influence of the Soviet Union - just to name a few. President Reagan brought assurance and pride back to the citizens of the United States. It must be nice to appreciate American exceptionalism w/out making any sacrifices - as most foreigners understand.
@tjw0099 70's had the Global Oil crisis but the wage gap between CEO and factory worker was a fraction of today's. 70's had approx. zero murders in Iran (8 in 1980) and none in USSR save perhaps the odd spy or two. 2010's had the Global Fin crisis and thousands of American dead in Iraq and Afghanistan. Reagan used the simple formula of making Americans "scared" of the USSR then shaking his fist at the USSR to make Americans feel "relieved" whilst shifting wealth to the rich. You fell for it.
I was in the sixth grade when this song came out. Man, what great memories. Songs were so excellent back then. The artists wanted to please, to paint a picture, to make everyone feel good about life. And they were brilliant.
I don't like the attitude, the impertinence, and self-absorption of music artists today. Most of all, their songs are very disappointing. They miss the mark. There's nothing there but crassness, dissonance and vulgarity. Our ears and hearts don't lie.
@takfam07 Agreed. The sense of community so evident in the 1970s turned around abruptly when a B-grade actor came along and persuaded the working and middle classes of the lie that they would be richer by giving the upper class big tax breaks. The poisonous legacy of Reaganomics needs to be unwound before America's sense of community and "making everyone feel good about life" is restored.
@eckythimble Don't fall for this takfam07's pretentious comments...he has a deep contempt for black people ..very hateful guy,,just google him..or find him daily at this video comment page,,"egyptians not black,,yeah right proof is in the pictures"
@jayelldude You are the disturbed individual with a dozen "impersonator" accounts, spewing racist garbage all over the Internet. For some disturbed reason, you've impersonated me and many other YT users, expressing severely racist comments and attributing them to us. We're collectively working with the YouTube General Counsel to put a stop to your activities. Stay tuned.
@takfam07 You are consistently attacking blacks with racial stereotypes. You are a hypocrite,All of you say racist things about blacks.If a black person contest you in reponse then you start with the 18th century racist quotes.Quotes expressing that blacks are inferior.Then you go on with the IQ racial slander.Your entire comment exchange has never been about respect.You think that you can continue to come here everyday & insult black people.I say no! We can have you removed as well
@jayelldude A group of YouTube users have been monitoring and documenting your you tube activity the past few weeks now. You have been impersonating others in order to say the most horrible racist things about blacks, Asians, Europeans.. You have called black people "low IQ monkeys," Asians "cat-eating Japs and Chinks," Egyptians "sandniggers," and French "frog eaters." UPDATE: YouTube attorneys have assured us that they have located your internet account, and are working on next steps.
@takfam07 lol!..Don't lie ,,and say I called blacks low IQ monkeys...why would I say that about my own people...nice try racist. All you accuse me of I have not done...so stop your lies..Wait until I gather all the blacks,,,and let's see what they have to say about..pawlie68,ledormant,phonecian7,takfam07,academygrls111..all of you insult black people on a daily basis,,,and you are the ring leader..you are the one who says blacks are less intelligent,,,nice try racist.
Love the song. I just wanna know who was the one that said ...ya know what ...we need some huge rubber bands at the end, go ahead and put those Romper Stompers on and freestyle that groove.
Anybody know that song that has a chorus that goes "I don't know, but I've been told, the world outside is oh so cold"? TOTAL rip-off of Rubber Band Man! My mom was listening to it and I immediately thought RUBBER BAND MAN! But it's just some mediocre band stealing the chorus. And it's on the radio! Makes me mad. >:[
To JanickYoung -- You think they're not Rock and Roll? Au Contraire! This is the dignified side of Rock and Roll. Go learn the history of this great sound. FYI -- Rock and Roll is a direct descendant of Rhythm and Blues. Don't let anyone tell you different!
Someone must have medically enduced that crowd into a coma because none of them were moving or bouncing their heads!! Most of them were probably from west virginia and werent accustomed to hearing funky good sounding music!! Freakin retards! How can u not move at all to a song like this?? smh
@bgord969 Actually this was the Midnight Special from Los Angeles I recall, and these white kids had probably never seen anything like this in their lives! And the Spinners weren't worried about the audience in front of them - they were playing to all of America back then. I think the Midnight Special came on at, yes, Midnight on Fridays on NBC I think.
first of all i'm a white 46 year old guy. when i first heard this song way back when i was blown away!! these guys are bad !!! always loved this style of music.
@spank2625 Hell yeah! You said it! This is real music. And in all the bad that disappoints us about the U.S. today, we can always travel back to this era and dissolve all the problems with the greatest music ever.
If that Baffoon filled country America really wanted to get rid of the reason that the economy is so low they should kick niggers out instead of Mexicans since the only thing they do is live of welfare
How can today's blacks not think this is so cool? This is cool....Kanye West aint got shit on the Spinners. I want to get up on that stage so bad and tear it up with them
If you want THE SPINNERS in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, go to Rockhall.com website and VOTE for them in the online poll. It will show the HOF that we want them in and we're watching the HOF. THE SPINNERS are long overdue!
@ClassicTVful There is still good stuff out there and new stuff. Get out of your hole dude. Don`t limit yourself to stuff in the past while the world goes by. I`m 49 and still keep an open mind to good music. . You have to see what is out there. You have a computer ,so look for new stuff.
@ClassicTVful Oh, of course... because the world has only had problems since 1990.
Look, you can talk about how this generation has lost respect for music that you think was truly great in favor of autotune and dubstep and all that crap, and I'll agree with you. But to pin it on "the world's problems" is either delusional or demented.
Now, if you were just making two separate yet completely unrelated statements...
Actually the Spinners were nominated...the official inductees will not be announced until April. They are long overdue. Is there anything the public can do to make sure they are elected into the Hall of Fame. This is one of the most all time soulful R&B groups. "This group is out of sight...everything they do, seem to come out right!"
There was only one Phillippe Wynne. That unmistakable tenor and unmatched master of scat! Damn, I miss him & his magnificent soulful voice! Rest in peace, Phillippe!
Thisis sooooo cool to see! I remember watching this when it first aired. Thank you so much for posting.

@ClassicTVful True that. Is it normal for a white guy to listen to black singers than white singers?

@ClassicTVful There is still good stuff out there and new stuff. Get out of your hole dude. Don`t limit yourself to stuff in the past while the world goes by. I`m 49 and still keep an open mind to good music. . You have to see what is out there. You have a computer ,so look for new stuff.

@ClassicTVful Oh, of course... because the world has only had problems since 1990.
Look, you can talk about how this generation has lost respect for music that you think was truly great in favor of autotune and dubstep and all that crap, and I'll agree with you. But to pin it on "the world's problems" is either delusional or demented.
Now, if you were just making two separate yet completely unrelated statements...

I watched the Spinners do this song the last show at Emerald City in NJ.
Emerald City shut down many years ago.

Actually the Spinners were nominated...the official inductees will not be announced until April. They are long overdue. Is there anything the public can do to make sure they are elected into the Hall of Fame. This is one of the most all time soulful R&B groups. "This group is out of sight...everything they do, seem to come out right!"

The Rubberband Man has been voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so those polyester blue jackets are now immortalized.
