@Palpatin77 "I'm embarrassed for the dude that had to pretend to lip-synch to the woman's singing in the song"

The dude lipsyncing this song on Soul Train is none other than Henry Fambrough, one of the the most underated voices of the golden age of Soul during the 1960s and 1970s. It is Fambrough's smooth melodic falsetto that fronted classic's such as "Toni My Love" from 1976's "Happiness Is Being With The Spinners" and "I'm Riding Your Shadow" from 1977's "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow."

Henry Fambrough. What a f'n PRO. How he did that lipsynch without laughing is beyo.nd me. Deserved a special Grammy.

Okay I'm glad people cleared up that he was lip-synching because my head was about to explode. I was sitting here thinking that there was no possible way that all this time I was listening to a dude at that part.

I love the song "Games People Play" by The Spinners, because it has a terrific beat. I also appreciate the female vocal of Barbara Ingram, because she sings well. It wasn't Henry Fambrough's sped-up male vocal; it was him, lipsynching the female voice of Barbara Ingram, so it's The Spinners with Barbara Ingram.

The woman's voice on the song is Barbara Ingram... it is not the guy lip syncing it... nice try thought, I thought it was kinda funny.
