I always will love the Spinners, Parliament & Funkadelic. Spinners, Philippe', George C., Boosie all of you gave good music. We need good music of the 60's & 70's & early 80's back in our lives. The music told stories that we lived. Though it's Hip Hip in the mix now, but doesn't tell the good clean stories of love & life like the 60's & 70's.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for including Sadie, the entire song. That song is so special!! And he saaaaaaaaaang!!!! I remember EVERY WORD, every adlib, and all background vocal parts from Sat morning chores when I was a little girl. 🥹
Phillipe Wynne was amazing! I wish 2 things I wish he listened to Thom Bell and waited a little longer to go solo, and I wish he didn't pass away from that heart attack back in 84.
May your soul continue to rest in peace Phillipe. Definitely, one of the greatest singers and entertainers of my generation. 2021 and still listening to Phillipe with or without the Spinners. Blessings🙏🏽
Incredible ad-lib abilities. He surely regretted leaving The Spinners, in hindsight. They were the R&B group of the 70's, 2nd only to the J5 I believe...in top 10 songs, but theirs was "grown- folk" music, and I loved it, especially the melodic songs written/produced by Thom Bell & Linda Creed. And he was only 43 when he died....while performing. Thanks to TH-cam, we get to experience who he really was....all these years later.
Very capable singer and entertainer that got too big for his britches, and once they picked up smooth, 4-octane Johnny Edwards, his era and style had played out, so there was definitely no going back no way, no how!
@@DorianGilmer this is such a bullshit take. Teddy Pendergrass left the Bluenotes and became a bigger draw and legend solo. Felipe Wynn took a chance at life, the man laid down "Knee Deep" for fukk sakes. Just coz a great man fails at an endeavour doesn't make him any less great. What do you know what it's like to be a genius singer?.. Let alone judge him for wanting to go solo. Felipe Wynn was a superstar, he just need a big push from a major label. It didn't help that the late 70s, early 80s funk had been phased out. Also in this documentaty Felipe is not here to speak on himself. I've never listened to anything the "Spinners" did after Felipe Wynn left. But here they are running their mouths on a dead man
@@blaquenguni9249 what would you say replaced the funk by time 1984 came in? Gap band, sos band type music? then an evolution into the new jack swing? You sound very educated about what you're talking about and i'd be curious to know your take on how music evolved from the early 70s to 1984. Temptations-type groups with great arrangements and soulful slow music was the early 70s, then as the mid 70s came i'd say uptempo came into play which helped funk push its way into the disco era..early 80s to me is hard to define. Lots of synths, MTV became popular, and it was the age of the popstar like madonna i would assume.
@@DorianGilmer Funny, but true story. When he joined George Clinton, he assumed that he was going to be a lead singer. 😂😂😂 George made Phillippe a background singer!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr. Wynne was "That Dude" when he sang with the Spinners. He had the uncanny storytelling ability whereas; when he sang the song it would take the listener on an adventurous vocal ride. When he re-joined his P-Funk brethren, it was a win win for all the P-Funkateers (Not Just Knee Deep); and the rest is musical history. R.I.P. to a true legend of the vocals.
Phillipe Wynn was a stage name.lived on as Rev. ROY ABRAM thank you for being our friend. Rip . He sang to us every day. I made him sing Sadie to me. That how I knew it was him by his voice.
I saw the Spinners in 1975 at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos CA. I was already a fan, and Philippe made the concert come alive. A show I will never forget. May he be singing and dancing for the Lord of Glory.
I seen so many stars at the circle Star but I thought it was in Redwood City not far Palo Alto and San Mateo the time I saw Luther Vandross and it was the best concert I never forget because me and Luther sway and rock me dancing while he song Bad Boy and Having a party now at 72 I saw so many great bands and artists Chaka Took my mother to see O’Jays she really enjoyed herself Kenny G was walking around the circle playing his sax and I happen to coming from the bar and next spot light in him and me while he blew the horn up and down my body in a very respect way I first moved to Palo Alto from New Orleans to go to college later move to Bay Berkeley the Bay Area loved this man well we were bless to see artists at Circle Star with I Phone
Still today I think the spinners deserve a Grammy or two, cause those guys touch some people emotions especially Sadie and love don't love no one, never the less mighty love those guys deserve some type of award.
Michael White Wow. I’d never heard that he was on drugs. Or any of The Spinners for that matter. It’s been said that he had heart trouble. Either way, he was a phenomenal entertainer. What a tremendous loss.
One and only one of the very best of the best of all mothers days songs ever ❤️ 💙 you will indeed cry 😢 😭 and that's the truth of it absolutely beautiful song Mr philippe Wynne from the spinners I will absolutely always play on that very special day 💙
Phillippe was a major influence on my sense of musical ambiance I was a kid when he was jammin. he influenced all of us we did his covers in our high school bands and garage bands. The Spinners was the slow jam group in our basement parties back in the early 70's. RIP my brother travel well.
One of the Best things My Brother did was introduced me to music, Mr. Phillipe Wynn ( if I'm spelling it right ) was One of the Best To Do It. He sung and entertained Ya.. ✊❤💯
I’m crying because I had 3 Sadie my mother sister who raised me until she passed at a early age 50 and I 19 the dearest my SADIE MS RUTH and than a blood first cousin who took on putting me through college and being the best grandmother my kids could have because she also was raised by my mother too she passed at 88yrs old and she loved this song and my birth mother I loved❤too even tho I only seen her twice in my life being born in New Orleans when 1 died a child would always have a home and a second Moma now at 72 I can enjoy his concerts my late husband was a few his blocks away going to see him he came home tears in eyes he gone ,he said for blue eyes blonde hair white man his loved R&B Jazz Raggea It was Chaka,Philippe,Miles,never miss their concerts thank u UTube ❤❤❤
Philippe the best the greatest of all the only entertainer besides Coltrane that has something to say and could mesmerize you all day without bragging about himself lift you up by telling you about you and your gifts let you have insite on the things you do . And appreciate the joy others have brought to you
Thank you so much for the whole story. I had so many gaps in my knowledge between the Spinners and the Parliament. I really appreciated Mr. Wynne's energy and beautiful voice. Thank you so much for posting.
Mr. Philippe Winn was more of everything that is mentioned by others here! It is 2021 and YES, I remember him and The Spinners, and FUNKADELIC during the reigns of Junie Morrison, and George Clinton . . . thank you, and it is still going today.
truly one of my favorite singers his dances and energy is something i never seen i think its his spirit he brings that captures me and that voice of smoothness he was a great talent and is greatly missed but a joi to watch.
Too bad something inside of Phillipe needed more attention and he left the Spinners everyone lost him the spinners and the people that loved the music they created I think he regretted his decision but I'm always indebted to him and the rest of the spinners for the beautiful songs that brought sunshine into my life
Felipe was a great voice but he never realized his success was tied to the Detroit Spinners,,,and he is not the only singer to leave a winning group to go wandering unsuccessfully
P.W was the best,true vocalist extraordinaire. Knee Deep, UNCLE JAM. My favorite singer.No body can touch,Sweet Sadie,Just listen to that cut, practice, hire someone if you want, NEVER BEEN touched,Ever by no one...
Smooth Jazz Artist Rodney Stepp on the AZ IZ Records label worked with Philippe Wynne and The Spinners in the 70's. Rodney says Philippe was the one who inspired him to put himself out front with the B3 Organ solo on Mighty Love Live version. That solo opened many doors for Rodney and he has never looked back. Rodney also produced 7 songs on The Spinners in 1995. Those songs have never been released. Rest In Peace Philippe.
It's Amazing that all the P-formers who joined P-Funk, all came from different R&B groups! For example: Phillippe, The Spinners, Junie Morrison, The Ohio Players, Jessica Cleaves, E,W, AND F, Belita Woods, Friends of Distinction, and Brainstorm, Maceo,Phelps, Bootsy, Fred,Kush,The JB Experience, and so many others! BUSHTALES thank you for the memories. 😭
I've been seeing a lot of Phillipe on my feed lately. May he rest in peace. ROH, get it all the way together! Y'all inducted Snoop dogg! Get the Spinners in like now lol
PHILIPPE WYNNE WAS ONE OF THE SPINNERS. PLEASE 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.
Thank you thank you thank thank you I been telling people Mr. Wynne would get on stage and they couldnt get him off I never knew if it was part of the performance or what but I k ew I wasnt crazy my mom amd I saw him do it on the Mike Douglas show.. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ yesssss
He wasnt, casual music folks only heard the name Phillipe Wynne back then. I only knew names of others because of black music magazine. Somebody shouldve asked him the question who is going to write his music when he leaves the group.
There is some footage in the beginning of his band mate trying to get him off stage. I couldn’t tell if it was part of the act. Later in the video they explained he wanted to change the name of the spinners and that gave some context. He was very talented but his own ego got the best of him sometimes.
Dude definitely electric.unfortunately when he went solo,I was disappointed.but I kinda wonder why the philly soul song writers didnt hook him up with songs etc
One of the magnetic singers that grace this earth finally voted in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame P.Wynne. RIP
I always will love the Spinners, Parliament & Funkadelic. Spinners, Philippe', George C., Boosie all of you gave good music. We need good music of the 60's & 70's & early 80's back in our lives.

Mr. Wynne was a great singer and person. Danced slick, smooth and moved like water. Still think of him at times too! God bless him.
How could anybody have a thumbs down for The Master Blaster, Roller Controler, The Man, Philippe Wynne,
The💥Bomb. R I P...
The Wynne Jammer.
FOREVER....
Philippe Wynne is one of my favorite singers !!!! He really helped put the Spinners on the map in the early 70’s!!!! Great talent.
The greatest ad-libber in singing history, Soul to the 10th power
I love his voice, and unfortunately the music business is rough, but even in his death his voice still lives on, still successful in my book.
There will never be another Phillipe Wynn, he was truly one of a kind. RIP
Hes not dead

Phillipe Wynne was the voice I listened to as a child coming up in the 1970s RIH
Hes not dead.
His solo of "Sadie" was an all time great performance........
He looks like and sings like he enjoyed life.
I've always loved the Spinners and Philippé is one of the major reasons. The man was incredible in every way.

Steve Neely I agree with you!
I absolutely agree however the Spinners will forever will be The people's Choice and respectfully I say that makes the difference anyway!!!
With out a doubt one the great lead singers of his time but drugs and encores just don't mix.
Michael White Wow. I’d never heard that he was on drugs. Or any of The Spinners for that matter. It’s been said that he had heart trouble. Either way, he was a phenomenal entertainer. What a tremendous loss.
They also need to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They've been nominated nearly 15 times and they still haven't been inducted
1 of My TOP 5 FAVORITE SINGERS OF ALL-TIME! HANDS DOWN!
At the TOP BTW ALL BLACK HEBREW ISRAELITES!!! SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST
What a beautiful soul he was. I love this man and the joy and emotions his singing and performing has always given me.
Philippe may he rest in peace was a dynamic singer and presence.
Hes not dead
Sadie will forever be a tear jerker....🙏🏽
My grandma was a Sadie I do know the love he talks about. Praying on her knees every night. Just love to hear him Sing.
My mom played his music constantly. I was crushed when he passed away. What an amazing talent. So glad he's online.
So much Rhythm, Grace and Debonair in one man. What a talent. God bless him.
His voice is music, by itself, beautiful and glorious at the same time, love it..
One and only one of the very best of the best of all mothers days songs ever ❤️ 💙 you will indeed cry 😢 😭 and that's the truth of it absolutely beautiful song Mr philippe Wynne from the spinners I will absolutely always play on that very special day 💙
So heartbreaking. I love you, Mr. Wynne. Always did and always will.
This is a musical education moment for me. I always knew his voice but never knew his name.🎵🕊🎵🕊🎵
Phillipe was one of the greats, he was amazing his singing touched your soul! He was the real deal.
My God! What a talent! We lost him too soon.💔
Would have loved to see Philippe work with Al Green and The isley Brothers. Now that would have been incredible!! So many missed oppurtunities!!!!

Thank you. He was an awesome, awesome talented man.

One HAS to take chances. People who take chances have COURAGE.
Chaka Khan and her brother Michael used to always tell us funny stories about him🤣 He fell down the steps once while singing Mighty Love😆

Great Song and even greater singers

Heavy Gratitude
always love that p
Still underrated!
He wasnt, casual music folks only heard the name Phillipe Wynne back then. I only knew names of others because of black music magazine. Somebody shouldve asked him the question who is going to write his music when he leaves the group.
Underrated by whom, and why do they matter?
the smoothest.
Wow he sparred with Ali! Bad man
In Africa during the Ali vs Foreman fight..when we were kings .
i also like THE Original P-Funk version of never gonna tell it. bernie was all over it on wynn jammin
This tribute to the world of philippe of the spinners and Ali
David Ruffin or Mr Winne it’s hard
Philippe Wynne all day
David couldnt manage Phillipe, this man's adlib was exceptional.
That's apples and oranges to me. Both were phenomenal.
His voice sounds like he can sing Funk music.
There is some footage in the beginning of his band mate trying to get him off stage. I couldn’t tell if it was part of the act. Later in the video they explained he wanted to change the name of the spinners and that gave some context. He was very talented but his own ego got the best of him sometimes.
He had a short temper boy. But that is my dad firstborn child.
He's your brother. I love him ... His soul voice and energy was different, strange but he was very great.
man young I am related to Phillippe we should talk... He and my mom were brother and sister.
We all have our personalities. But that talent, though!
That's okay. We are all human.
I'm his firstborn son. My two stepbrothers passed away
Dam This guy was Amazing LUTHER, TEDDY, BARRY COULD NOT HOLD A CANDLE TO HIM DAM!!!!
another informative video.This channel has some good content.
Great upload
Thank you for noticing !
Um dos meus cantores favoritos, principalmente na ERA P*FUNK
Kenny Colton on drums. R.I.P.
Dude definitely electric.unfortunately when he went solo,I was disappointed.but I kinda wonder why the philly soul song writers didnt hook him up with songs etc
