Spinners

2009 collection from Soul greats The Spinners (known as The Detroit Spinners in Europe). The Spinners hailed from Detroit, had roots in '50s Doo Wop, and started out in the mid-'60s Motown scene, but they ultimately became known as the ultimate '70s Philly Soul vocal group. Famed producer Thom Bell mated their soulful harmony blend with elaborately orchestrated arrangements that were infectious but never overbearing. The result was a long string of huge hits throughout the '70s ("I'll Be Around", "Rubberband Man", "Could it Be I'm Falling in Love", and many more) that were definitive not only of their genre but of their era. Rhino UK.

The Spinners were the greatest soul group of the early '70s, creating a body of work that defined the lush, seductive sound of Philly soul. Ironically, the band's roots lay in Detroit, where they formed as a doo wop group during the late '50s. Collection includes: 'Pick Of The Litter' (1975); Dancin' And Lovin' (1979); 2LP-in-1CD 'From Here To Eternally' (1979)+ 'Love Trippin' (1980); 2LP-in-1CD 'Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow' (1977) + 'Labor Of Love' (1981).

The Spinners topped their Motown success when they jumped to Atlantic (and Philly-soul producer Thom Bell) in the early ’70s. Here are every one of the quintet’s A- and B-sides helmed by Bell: the R&B Top 10s “I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love,” “One of a Kind (Love Affair),” "Ghetto Child,” “Mighty Love,” “I’m Coming Home,” “Love or Leave,” “The Rubberband Man,” “Games People Play,” “Sadie,” “You’re Throwing a Good Love Away,” “Then Came You” (their #1 duet with Dionne Warwick) and more. Every song here is in its original single version…43 tracks in all, more than half of which are unique edits (and some of the B-sides are rarely compiled). A deluxe booklet with rare photos and memorabilia caps off this 2-CD celebration of these paragons of sweet ’70s soul! Real Gone Music.

Harris, and the late, great Thom Bell.

The three-CD box set The Chrome Collection doesn't miss anything that might be considered essential by virtually any Spinners fan, including as it does the major and minor chart hits from the early '60s through the mid-'80s, as well as numerous album tracks. To be honest, even if you're a big Spinners fan, you're not going to be missing much if you opt for the two-CD One of a Kind Love Affair. And if you're a general Spinners fan, Rhino's more basic single-disc The Very Best of the Spinners should satisfy.

The Spinners were the greatest soul group of the early '70s, creating a body of work that defined the lush, seductive sound of Philly soul. Ironically, the band's roots lay in Detroit, where they formed as a doo wop group during the late '50s. Throughout the '60s, the Spinners tried to land a hit by adapting to the shifting fashions of R&B and pop. By the mid-'60s, they had signed with Motown Records, but the label never gave the group much consideration.

The Spinners are an American rhythm and blues vocal group that formed in Ferndale, Michigan in 1954. They enjoyed a string of hit singles and albums during the 1960s and 1970s, particularly with producer Thom Bell. The group continues to tour, without any original members, after Henry Fambrough retired in 2023.The group is also listed as the Detroit Spinners and the Motown Spinners, due to their 1960s recordings with the Motown label. These other names were used in the UK to avoid confusion with a British folk group also called the Spinners. On June 30, 1976, they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Spinners were inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2015 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023.

It marks the 70th anniversary of the band's formation and is the final album from the last original member, Henry Fambrough. The album features 10 brand new tracks from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. The Spinners are embarking on a North American tour in support of the album.
