- Here's the fantastic Spinners performing live Then Came You in 1976, with a viviacious young lady who sang background The Spinners, and they do the bump dance.
The Spinners rate as one of the most fantastic groups along with The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Dramatics, The OJays, The Stylistics, The Whispers, The Intruders, Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, and The Delfonics. They were apart of the golden age of classic soul groups who mesmirized us with their dances, energy, and love songs.
It's Ashame, Rubberband Man, Mighty Love, Could It Be I'm Falling In Love, I'll Be Around, Mighty Love, One of a kind Love Affair, Ghetto Child, Sadie, How Could I Let You Get Away, Then Came You, Games People Play, Love Don't Love NoBody, were among their biggest hits, making them the premier group of the 70's. - เพลง

2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. About time.
Another perfect example of when Singers & Groups had talent !!!!
A+++++
Thank you so much rest in peace spinners🤗🎉
Bobby was havin too much fun!
Wow, did they do. The bump! Go Spinners, get busy.
The Detroit Spinners are my soul heroes.Bobbie, Philippe, Pervis and John they were so dynamic.Bobbie, Philippe and Pervis have passed on, but their memories will live forever more.
Doing the Bump! Remember that?! 😮😂
First contact for many boys lol 😅
Hell of a dry cleaning bill that day. They were drenched. All worth it though. I bet the wardrobes dept had their own semi. The Spinners clothing ensembles were terrific and rarely worn twice I think.
This music makes me smile.
I loved Dianne's version too, but this gal in this video has talent, she rocked! Everyone is very happy it looks like and I love it! One of my favorite songs ever!!!!! And I grew up with metal and rock!!! Go figure. I also love "I'll Be Around," "I'll Be Around," and my favorite is "Could it Be I'm Falling In Love." OMG that song blows me away!!
The greatest group of the seventies! So many memories and still great music. Too bad the heart and soul of great musicians is not more recognized in today's world.
Certainly the most underrated group of the 70s and my fave r&b group of all time! I can’t believe that one of the best r&b groups of all time really only had one hit with Motown and became hit makers at Atlantic records.
Diva performed that song..
The female singer was Angie Whitney from New Horizons
The Spinners has always been one of my favorites of all times. They put a lot of energy and feeling into their music.
When music was so uplifting and fun.
These guys were really special...miss this, miss the 70's...yep, RIP, Bobby
This is just pure music. I could watch this over and over again.
SpinnerRama? Woah.... such a nice treat. My favorites are "Could it be I'm Fallin in Love," (my #1), then "Then Came You, with Dionne)," then "I'll be Around." So beautiful and sweet these songs.................. Love them for ever. My older sister used to play these on 45 records and yes i would listen so close.. Man it was heaven!!!!
Im 48 too and man what a wonderfull time for us coming up in this era aye guys! it will never ever be done again only in memories my friends! peace.
November 3, 2023: The Spinners (and others) will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (finally!) Congratulations to the only surviving member: Henry Fambrough. (on our left)
You can say that again, thats why I have alot of music by The Spinners on cd, good memories that sometimes make me sad to hear how music has changed for the worst!
Scott, thank you so much for the compliment. I was one of members of New Horizon. We sang all the live performances for The Spinners from 1975 to 1980. It was a wonderful time. Thank you Curt, great friend.
That was you? Great job!😊
❤❤❤
Ever since i watched New Edition tribute to The Spinners, I've been on a roll looking up videos❤. What an amazing group
NOW DATS OLD SKOOL THERE.THANKS FOR DIS ONE.
I love the energy!!
people seemed so happy during that period of time not like now so depressing
They are having so much fun. That's brilliant.
The year I was born....I'm starting to feel old.
the Spinners are awesome.
I used to listen to The Spinners on the ol 45's. I was just a little girl and I
knew what great music was ! I had my own little turntable and crap load
of records lol Thank U for posting this, really great memories for me
I WAS A YEAR OLD. LOL :) THAT'S MUSIC.
RIP Bobby Smith
Awesome performance, I have always thought the spinners rocked !! This kind of music needs to make a come back for sure ! Diva did great with spinners
An update on the identity of the duettist: after comparing other clips from this show with photos of the Sweethearts of Sigma, I think the duettist is Barbara Ingram.
@bongnbud i'm also 48 white and concur 100% with your post
The Soul Train......💃
Soulin'
Background girls are the Philadelphia International studio group, the Sweethearts of Sigma. Featured duettist is almost certainly their alto member, Evette Benton - and doesn't she make a fantastic job of it?
Saaaaaaang y'all ❤
....Evette's name is usually spelt 'Yvette' on credits and liner notes, but this appears to have been a Philadelphia International marketing gimmick. Barbara passed away much too soon in December 1994, but Carla and Evette are still around. Oh, and there's a Sweethearts of Sigma tribute page over on Facebook, if you'd like to stay up to date with them.
👏 good stuff 👏 🎶
there is another one that has the late joni sledge doing Dionne's part. in that video - it is funny to see Pervis push away the "rubberband man" as he was trying to do the bump with him!!
This is what I have always wanted to do
classic
I miss Phillip Wayne.
Thank you for all the memories, Spinners. 😇🙏🙌
My favorite Spinner's song.
super! flawless from Angie! Dionne Warwick surely had something to smile about.
My happy music! You can’t help but smile😊
YEPPERS!
comm#73 just popped n my head when headed down for Comfort Inn great breakfast, during flip.
The background singers are from Oakland, Ca. A group called New Horizon. Twin sisters and a cousin. Rachel, Angie and Yvonne. I know them well.
Who is the actual singer on Them Came You? Is it Angie Whitney?
@@robertmillsap8126 I think it's Angie. And Rachel looks so much alike, but I remember Rachel have a deeper voice. I haven't seen them since 1972 except for Yvonne I saw a few years ago in New Jersey. Rachel passed away a couple of years ago. I knew them when I lived in Berkeley and they lived in Vallejo.
Love those 70's stage sets
They were the legendary spinners knocking him out the box 🤜🏽🎶🤛🏽
A bit more about the Sweethearts of Sigma: Carla Benson (soprano), Barbara Ingram (mezzo soprano) and Evette Benton (alto) is the definitive line-up, though Harriet Tharpe deputised as mezzo in the late '70s. Carla and Barbara were cousins,. Evette was unrelated, but a lifelong friend of Carla (the very similar surnames are coincidental).
Thanks for the information! Do you mean the fraternity Phi Beta Sigma? And are the ladies from their sister sorority Zeta Phi Beta?
I heard rumors for a long time, that Barbara Ingram did the background vocals on the Spinners song Games People Play, and it's definitely true about the Major Harris song Love Don't Let Me Wait, that was her doing the lite crying and the moaning on the album version of the song .
@@dgray9020 Games People Play featured Evette Benton. It’s a fascinating insight too, because you don’t really hear the alto line in a female trio, so it’s a rare opportunity to hear her voice clearly. The softness and warmth of her tone must have been a big contribution to the overall Sweethearts of Sigma sound.
These genteel gentlemen ... these tenor-andbass turquoise-clad sirs ... these mini-afroed and well-choreographed handsomely hombres ... these seventies-soul songsters who wouldst be the bulk of the wedding-songs for some of us ... this guy-group known as "THE SPINNERS" ... well just watch the GODdamn to video to fully understand Uncle's notions and emotions and why he canst say no more on them at this precise point, GODdamnit !!!
Dear publisher 'MusicandDancing4Ever' ... an aptly selected 'pseudonym' for both this kind of music and this kind of group !!!
Love and blessings,
Uncle
The Specialist😇
Love this music. Great group. Keep spinning
Mr Wynne wow superb
Thanks for the info, TheCurtmusic1. New Horizons, eh? Well,they were good enough to be mistaken for the best studio trio ever - which makes them very good indeed. Do please pass them my compliments!
BOBBY SMITH , The Spinners' ORIGINAL and MAIN lead singer, on lead vocals .
+williamg2552: More whitewashing Spinners' history. There WAS NO "main" lead singer. Booby, Philippe and Henry ALL sang significant leads.
+Carey Conley As well a C.G. Cameron, Philippé's cousin, who upon leaving the group recommended they sign Philippé. Great decision BTW.
+Carey Conley -Anybody who knows anything about the REAL history of The Spinners , (ALL of it, not just from 1972 onward), knows that Bobby was always the main lead. It's just the Phillippe fans who always try to whitewash and change history to give him more credit than he's due. Like everything changed when HE joined the group. But facts are facts.Thom Bell signed The Spinners , in part because of Bobby's unique phrasing and his smooth tenor voice. Where was Phillippe when Bell first saw the Spinners onstage in Philly in '65 ? Bell had always said that "I'll Be Around" was the HIT. Atlantic went with "How Could I Let You Get Away" instead. The rest is history. The Spinners would have taken off ANYWAY, whether Phillippe came...or had GC stayed, because the group's first two million-sellers were BOTH led by Bobby...as were the fourth and fifth. (Out of the group's six million-selling singles, FOUR of them were led by Bobby. Phillippe only led on TWO) ..and Bobby led on their very FIRST hit back in 1961, "That's What Girls Are Made For"...along with ALL of their Tri-Phi songs and almost all of their Motown stuff. Tom Meros interviewed Henry...and that interview is right here on TH-cam. He confirms that Bobby was ALWAYS the main lead...long before GC , Phillippe, or John Edwards were even THERE. He outta know about the Spinners' history better than you or I ..HE was there from the BEGINNING.
+Carey Conley "Booby'' ?? Boy, you really ARE a Phillippe fan .
The Spinners' "main" history IS from 1972 onward. "That's What Girls Are Made Of" was a MINOR hit and didn't keep them from being the Motown gophers they all said they were for the entire 1960s that followed. So WHAT if Bobby sang lead on that? Who besides you, me and Bobby remembers it? David Ruffin didn't Sing "Dream Come True" for the Temptations, either. Did that somehow make Eddie their "main" lead singer?
It's also interesting that you've tried to spin my comments (more whitewashing) into some kind of Philippe man crush, when I said that Philippe, Bobby, AND Henry were the lead singers. You've mentioned the songs that Bobby sang lead on, and if I had the space here, I would break down EVERY Spinners hit from that era, big and small, and show you who actually sang the leads. The ONLY hit, for which Bobby sang lead from beginning to end, was "I'll Be Around." What other "main" lead singer could claim that?
I've already seen the Tom Meros interview. Far as Henry calling Bobby their "main" lead singer, I figured that's just him being modest and honoring his old friend, when Henry sang as many, if not MORE leads than Bobby, ESPECIALLY on the latter Thom Bell albums.
I understand that Bobby fans like you feel that he didn't get as much credit as he deserved, and maybe he didn't, but this incessant campaigning to re-write history, to try and go back and give him ALL the credit as the "main" lead singer when he wasn't, is creating the same problem in reverse. During the Spinners' classic era, Henry, Philippe, AND Bobby were the lead singers.
Ah the Spinners......
BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤
Wynne could have led any R&B group of the 70's.
Sighhhhh such memories
Dionne Warwick sang the song with the Spinners on the record, but I don't know who this woman is.
She does a fantastic job
she's no Dionne
That woman is his wife
@@marcprimo1471 who is???
@Marc Primo Not really fair comment, is it?
I really like colored music and the clothes as well
"I'm a contented man."
WHAT AN EXCITING WOMAN !!!!!!
The Spinners and The New Horizons did a basketball video for Games People Play.
P
TOTAL MAGIC...…..!!!
❤
I love the spinners but it was Phillipe who made the them. this video was some cut dry cold carp by the way they cut P. Wynne out and all you still could hear his wailing vocals in the song!
Yeah, the camera work is super frustrating lol
❤❤❤ fire
♥♥♥
Lindos! Amei voces dancando... me convidam para eu dancar tambem 😅😅😅 . Eu vou viu?😂
Nice video of an awesome Spinners quintet! Would be nice knowing whether, in fact, it's Linda Creed or Yvette Benson rockin' the tune ... and providing a joyful scene dancing with Bobby!
fav Price is right game is Mountain climber, Dylin on Today, Eve's is Plinko
No close shot of Philippe Wynn, WTF?!
❤🎉
This group is a rush of endorphins.
Thanks for all the vids from this concert.
What is the setlist for the concert?
So i can start with the first and end with the last video.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Watch the video entitled "Thom Bell telling a story about Then Came You with Dionne Warwick and the Spinners" at about 5:11 Thom states that it is CREED.,
46 suckers that didn't like this....
Hey people, Who is the best music group of all time in your opinion? It's about 30 great music groups that were great. Who's the best group of all time?
Such a great song and performance. Is the female singer Linda Creed?
No, Linda Creed is white, you can Google a a photo of her
There is a live recording of Linda Creed doing this song with the spinners in 1974 at the Latin Casino, on you tube, if any one has the live video, please upload thanks, btw she sound great also.
Dionne, girlfriend, where is you?
Hey, you know something people?
I'm not black
But there's a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I'm not white
Frank Zappa:
Yvette Benson.
ORIGINAL VERSION BEFORE DIONNE WARWICK....
Is that Linda Creed?
No
Is that Nona Hendricks???
Where's the rest...???
who was the woman?
marilyn mccoo
maybe Joni Sledge
@@tmcboston1 That's not Marilyn McCoo.
That's not Linda Creed it must be Yvette Benson.
Nona Hendrix
@@victorbrowne204 She looks like Nona Hendrix but that's not Nona Hendrix. If it were Nona Hendrix or Sara Dash of Labelle the person who posted this would have said so because both of them are well known backup singers in Labelle. I am well familiar with the group Labelle and I do know Nona Hendrix when I see her and that's not her.
Sorry, just ramblin.
that's not Linda Creed who is white.
Is it Barbara Ingram
sorry the lady did not do a good job on this one...the guys did great as usual
I thought she sung fine. Is she DW? No, but did admirably.
pnutbutrncrackers EXACTLY, SHE SANG WELL FOR A BACK UP SINGER. SHE'S PRETTY LOOKING TOO, NICE EYES, SLIM GOODIE. SCREW ALL OF THESE HATERS ON YTUBE.
Your entitled to your opinion and im entitled to mine....she didnt sound good to me. ..in fact she sounds off key but then again thats just me
This version is better than the one with Joni Sledge. At least we can hear the lady's voice. Joni Sledge's voice was barely there...
I know the Spinners had a string of hits and I'm guessing they made good money from that........so........how come every video I've seen of them they have the same outfits on?????
RIP Bobby Smith
