    Yes, this was written by Stevie and his first wife, singer Syreeta Wright. And don't sleep on the amazing vocals of G.C. Cameron. That's him on both the high and low parts.

    Over here in the UK, they were known as "The Detroit Spinners", because there was already a band here called "The Spinners".

    Glad I found this. I always loved this song and when I realized Stevie was behind, I understood why. Anyway, you described my own musical upbringing and interest to the tee. Born in ‘66 with a music sweet spot in the late 70s and 80s soul, funk, early hip hop and Top 40 but I love gospel, Jazz, rock and the rest and I keep up and listen to newer music as well!

    I didn't realize this song was that old but it is still fire. Great song.

    Awesome tune. "It's a Shame" is a fire bop. I think its falsetto infused funky-pop paved the way for Earth, Wind & Fire later in the decade. Alton Ellis dropped a roots rock reggae version of the song in 1971 that also hits the spot. I remember hearing The Spinners on the radio back in the seventies -- "I'll Be Around", "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love", "The Rubberband Man" -- Looking back on those times, I think we were spoiled, somewhat, by the quality of the popular music of the era, taking the fountain of music, so to speak, for granted. Shout out to the Class of '85! [grin]

      That's right!

      The Isley Brothers
      Average White Band
      Phyllis Hyman
      Helen Reddy
      Minnie Riperton
      Boz Scaggs
      Phoebe Snow
      Joni Mitchell
      Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
      Steely Dan

    Produced by Stevie Wonder. Why am I not surprised. One of my all time favorites. Those high notes!

    I was 12 yrs.old that memorable summer of 1970 and grew up just NE of Motown...Always loved that guitar intro and the first vocal line-Do Do-DODO just starts lighting up the whole groove !

    Great reaction, Sis! Truly great voice range of lead singer G.C. Cameron! This was the first song I heard from the Spinners, myself, back, when I lived in Tulsa. Sis, I was surprised to hear you say that The Spinners didn't get their due of recognition because they were at the top from that record until into the 1980s!

      Although they had to leave Motown and go to Philly to work with Thomas Bell as part of the Philly soul music to really take off!
