Subject: The Spinners

One of my top ten favorite bands.  These are 70s classics.

Wow.....tough list to choose just one from. 


I'll Be Around is great, but I love One Of A Kind (Love Affair) and Could It Be I'm Falling In Love.  In the end, though....I'm going with One Of A Kind (Love Affair).

This is the kind of music I could really listen to over and over again and not care.  The R&B/Soul of the 70s is just kick-ass music all-around.

I got really hooked on Rubberband Man when Office Depot used it in their commercials a couple years ago.  I thought it was a great use of it, and it made me go out and by a Spinners CD just so I could listen to it more often.

Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours.

Ditto for me.  :)



I have a whole playlist on my iPod of this particular genre of music....the Stylistics, the Chi-Lites, The Four Tops, the Temptations....good stuff.

The Spinners are great!    :D    It's hard to pick just one.

By the slimmest of margins I picked "(They Just Can't Stop It) Games People Play".

I think I'll select "I'll Be Around", with "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" a close second.

"Could it Be I'm Falling in Love"

My all-time favourite from them was in 1980 with their medley of "Cupid/I've Loved You For A Long Time"

It's a tough choice 'cause I equally like I'll Be Around, Could It Be I'm Falling In Love and They Just Can't Stop It (The Games People Play), but I chose Could It Be I'm Falling In Love.

Cupid, definitely one of the best, but I also loved Could it be I'm Falling in Love and I'll be Around.  These choices are almost as difficult as picking a top EWF song!

I love Cupid too....but i listed the 70s hits that, I am pretty sure, were on the Atlantic label.

That's interesting...

My all-time favorite is their other 'medley'...called 'Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me, Girl'... :)

I'm not a huge fan, but recently I got all my & Diane's albums out of storage closet in my garage. As we're going through the records I see album of The Spinners, which of course belongs to Diane. I like a couple songs so I think I'm gonna play that album when I'm done mowing the lawn. I think it's a Hits album, but not sure.
