June 8, 201015 yr Author I aways thought Phil Wynne was the main singer with the slightly "nasel voice". I am a big fan but I could be wrong. Maybe he took his spes off for this clip? This has been discussed before but I can't remember the outcome!! Somebody like Tony Rounce will know or Steve plumb..or Sean Hampsey...or Steve G...or.... Form an orderly queue

However, under the helm of producer and songwriter Thom Bell, The Spinners would chart five top 100 singles (and two top tens) from their first post-Motown album, Spinners (1972), and would go on to become one of the biggest soul groups of the 1970s. The Bobby Smith-led "I'll Be Around", their first top ten hit, was actually the B-side of their first Atlantic single, "How Could I Let You Get Away". Radio airplay for the B-side led Atlantic to flip the single over, with "I'll Be Around" hitting #3 and "How Could I Let You Get Away" reaching #89. "I'll Be Around" was also The Spinners' 1st million- selling hit single.[1] . The 1973 follow-up singles "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" (led by Smith), "One of a Kind (Love Affair)" (led by Wynne), and "Ghetto Child" (led by Wynne) would cement the group's reputation, as well as further that of Bell, a noted Philly soul producer. Following their Atlantic successes, Motown also issued a "Best of the Spinners" LP which featured selections from their Motown/V.I.P. recordings. They also remixed and reissued the 1970 B-side "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music" as a 1973 A-side. In the midst of their Atlantic hits, it crawled to number #91 US.

June 8, 201015 yr Author very confusing this sharron, on the clip of could it be i'm falling in love, the lead singer is the guy in the middle , bobby smith, phillipe wynne is in fact then the guy on the end with glasses.....phew!!!!. thanks for looking it up, j Very confusing..I think they both sing on various songs for example Ghetto child .Phil (no glasses) starts and Bobby finishes. Bob is the chap with the specs I think...! And he is one of the only members still alive too..sure somebody more knowledgeable than me will confirm sooner or later!!
