Not sure when this concert was recorded in 1988, but Mr. Twelve-Forty-Five, bass singer extraordinaire, Pervis Jackson died not long after, in August 18th of the same year. I had the pleasure of meeting him, Bobby Smith, Henry Fambrough, Billy Henderson and John Edwards when I introduced them to the audience at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, CA a year or three before this. They were wonderful to me, and it's so nice when you meet your heroes and they turn out to be every bit as friendly and gracious as you imagined they would be. Much love.
@@Michaelraymondonkeys Thank you for the correction. My mistake. Mr. Jackson passed in 2008. This video was labeled incorrectly as being recorded in 1988.
It's either me, you, or the whole world has gone completely BONKERS! The lineup is not from 1988, nor had they aged this drastically in 1988. Pervis died August 2008, and the lineup looks more at home in 2008, than 1988.
If you cant get anyone to come close to Phillipe Wynn and his style they should not try to do him, Phillipe was the real deal, Often imitated never duplicated R.I.P.
This was one of my dads all time favorite groups. I remember listening to him play their music when I was a kid, to this day I love these types of groups. Showmanship, wonderful vocalist and done the real way, no auto tune like this garbage that’s out today. Being from DETROIT and having artist like these gentleman and so many others The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and so many more in my option this was some of the BEST music eras of all time.
Everybody, don't forget to vote for the Spinners DAILY starting NOW through Friday, April 28th so that they get inducted into this year's 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
@@yeoldeentertainment9154 The Spinners are not a Band. THEY are a Vocal group. They don't play any instruments. GC CAMERON WAS THE BEST LEAD SINGER FOR THE SPINNERS.
Wasn’t CG Cameron on one Spinners album? The greatest? I understand you might like him but the best Spinner? The Spinners had an amazing years spanning career after he left the group.
This must be 2010 ish, Bobby and Pervis going strong. This was how they acted and performed so well in the mid 70’s with John Edwards on Co-leads. Very smooth brothers.
It took long enough but now it’s official and confirmed ✅! Congratulations on their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Spinners! We love them!
The tenor is Frank Washington, formerly of the Futures out of Philly. The younger gentleman is Spike Bonhart of Detroit, he sang lead with the Four Tops also for several years after his time with the Spinners.
I'd guess this was around 2007, Bobbie, Pervis and Henry still around but Billy Henderson kicked out of the group, Phillipe having passed over 20 years before plus John Edwards physically unable to perform
DEFINITELY NOT 1988. This is in the early 2000’s. The Yamaha motif keyboard that the musician is playing didn’t even come out until 2003 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

I think there's a mistake in the title. If their 40th anniversary was in 1988, that would mean they started in 1948, which is WAY off. This is more like the early 2000's. Maybe around 2007 before Pervis died. They got together in 1957 so that's probably a bit more like it.
I think it’s 2001 if it’s the 40th anniversary of their professional debut. Henry Fambrough has mentioned several times in interviews that while they started singing together in the 1950s, they began singing professionally in 1961. That was when they started getting paid. Also G.C. Cameron rejoined the group in 2000 and left them in 2003.
Something about the title is not right. I don't think this is 1988. The keyboard that you see the musician playing on is the Korg Triton, which didn't come out until 2003. And I can tell by the age of Bobby and Henry and some of the other fellows but this particular performance aired far far after 1988. Maybe they're saying they were celebrating something that happened in 1988 I don't know. But I can guarantee you that this particular video is not from 1988 at all. Might want to correct that
I was corrected, this must be early 2000’s as Billy, Purvis had been replaced by Spike, Ronnie and Charlton with big Bobby and Henry filling out the line up. Thank you.
As James brown once said and was criticized for, “ you better get yourself a white audience if you want to keep working after you turn 40 as a black artist “
That is correct. Billy, unfortunately, was dismissed from the group in 2004 and was replaced by Harold "Spike" Bonhart. This performance is roughly 3-4 years prior to Pervis Jackson passing away.
this title is TOTALLY OFF. 40th anniversary in 1980 would have meant that group started in 1948. that's not correct.. the group started in 1954. also, Frank Washington did not join the group until 2003, and left in 2007. this is more like the 50th anniversary in 2004.

Exactly. It was difficult listening to his cracking voice. Phillipe's voice was like silk.
I coulda done slightly better. jus' sayin'.
Love the spinners they were the Best brought alot of Happiness into my life !
Hey millennials, I doubt any of you are watching this but if you are take a lesson. This is talent. REAL talent, no autotune. It's real and live.
It's a shame young people don't know this music.
SENSATIONAL AWESOME HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL AMAZING WONDERFUL 👍!
UPDATE: The Spinners are inducted in the 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
So glad Mr Fambough was able to see it happen before his passing Feb 2024.
I'm glad I got to see the classic line up in 1980
Trying to replace Phillipe in the group is like trying to replace Michael in the Jackson Five
This guy did a terrible job at performing mighty love.
One of the most underrated groups of all time. Great to see Bobbie Smith's son on guitar.
R-I-P TWEETIE-BIRD.

Phillppe Whinn soulful voice is truly missed.
GC Cameron was the best lead singer for the Spinners.

Pervis died 2008 so you're a few years off
WOW THAT WAS COOL I MISS ALL OF THAT REALLY GOOD GOOD R&B SONGS LIVE FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS LOVE THIS ❤👊🏿
It's A shame that this group isn't in the hall of fame there's no hall of fame without the spinners
Facts
I totally agree with you Doc !! Really a shame ! Cleveland Rock & Roll of Fame : remember them !!
Cheers from France ! 😀
They made it!
Absolutely
They are now.
It is a sin and a shame that the Spinners have not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It took long enough but now it’s official and confirmed ✅! Congratulations on their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Spinners! We love them!
However, looks like they snubbed GC Cameron.@@adrianlyord5300
That Band is tight..🎶❤️The mighty Spinners sound good after all the years.
God bless these guys 👦they truly send back memories the spinners are one of America's favorite 🙌❤.
The tenor is Frank Washington, formerly of the Futures out of Philly. The younger gentleman is Spike Bonhart of Detroit, he sang lead with the Four Tops also for several years after his time with the Spinners.
Wait a minute, Spike IS the tenor! So who is Frank, the lead?
Bobby Smith is the best lead and the reason I love their music !
Thank you for your great comment
Nicely DONE
I was in Love with the olddies groups in the 70's-the 80 's listening cleaning home for my Family
Thank you for your wonderful comment
@@toosteps Thank You for giving tome
Thank You for giving it to me Amen
The band sounds great very tight
love them, just great.
This instrumental SEEMS even greater than the original !! No it's all The Best the memories "THE LOVE"!!!!!
Oh the good old days Everyone’s doing fine. Hope your families doing well also.
RRHOF largely ignore these great Vocal groups
Spinners
Stylistics
Harold Melvin & Blue Notes
Chi-Lites
Delphonics
all Belong IN
No offense to other groups but to not include nSpinners is disgrace
I'd guess this was around 2007, Bobbie, Pervis and Henry still around but Billy Henderson kicked out of the group, Phillipe having passed over 20 years before plus John Edwards physically unable to perform
GC Cameron former lead singer is still alive
Bobby Smith RIP
Wonderful performance
MUSIC MASTERS. :) LUV IT.
DEFINITELY NOT 1988.

I agree with you, this doesn't seem like '88. John Edwards should be there.
This is more 2008 than 88 but still fantastic to see
Thank you for your wonderful comment.

Together, music and art. In today´s difficult times....
THX!!!!!!!!!!
THE PRIOR LEAD SINGERS WERE CP SPENCER GEORGE DIXON, CHICO BROWN AND GC CAMERON. PLUS JOHN EDWARDS
Original Lead was Bobby Smith. When Mr Wynn arrived Bobby and PW would switch and even co-lead.
That LEAD SINGER WAS CLEARLY NOT ABLE TO FILL PHILIPPE WYNN SHOES OR JOHN EDWARDS...KEY TO HIGH
Yep
i thought Frankie Washington did a fine job.
his biggest problem may have been that he was trying a little too hard to sound like Wynn.
The band was driving the songs faster than the singers wanted go..
At times..However, They're sound was on point!!!
Sadie was a good time song.
As James brown once said and was criticized for, “ you better get yourself a white audience if you want to keep working after you turn 40 as a black artist “
It won't start unless the business is established. that's right.
Billy Henderson toured with the Spinners until 2004. There is no chance this is from 1988.
That is correct. Billy, unfortunately, was dismissed from the group in 2004 and was replaced by Harold "Spike" Bonhart. This performance is roughly 3-4 years prior to Pervis Jackson passing away.
Very true and strong statement, very wrong there not in the hall yet
I believe one of the lead singer is cousin to phillipe Wynn.
Phillip Wynn and G.C.Cameron were cousins
I was enjoying a good life with No trouble 😅
Spinners
I like all of he Spinners but my favorite is John Edward who sang Working MyWay BackToYou. Where is he now I hope he still alive Thank you!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If this is 40th would've been 1998. Must be 30th if actual date is 1988
💜💜💜💜💜
this title is TOTALLY OFF.
40th anniversary in 1980 would have meant that group started in 1948.
that's not correct..
the group started in 1954.
also, Frank Washington did not join the group until 2003, and left in 2007.
this is more like the 50th anniversary in 2004.
Aadoooooro debsty
💎💎💎💎💎
Check out the Bass player, very very key !
I don't think this was in 1988
The spinners are for Willis
This looks like about 1998
It might be my mistake. Thank you for your advice.
It's your mistake alright. @@toosteps
Is that the same group?
They're missing Billy, Philippe and John. Bobbie's there along with Henry and Pervis.
No, ghetto child ... I was gutted my most fave of all their trachs
Too bad you can't spell.
Bobby lost his voice a long time ago.
Sadly true
Well what do you expect? We get older! That's not the point, the point is, he's there!
