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!!

Ah the man with the glasses is Bobby Smith!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Smith_(R%26B_singer) The hit years with Philippé WynneWhen The Spinners signed to Atlantic in 1972, they were a respected but commercially unremarkable singing group who had never had a top-ten pop hit—despite having been a recording act for over a decade. 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.
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
Know it's an oldie but this is a fabulous clip if you're a Spinners fan like meself..keep going til the end, it gets better and better
I may go mad and go for the Saturday night and take my tent. It's been a while since I went to a proper festival. In fact it's been a while since I put my tent up..I attempted it in the garden the other day but failed miserably. I think I may need to get one of those pop up tents
I really fancy it but yes it is a wee bit pricy! Joe Bataan, Ann Sexton......It's a dear do for two of you tho. Camping and car parking is extra too!
Modculture every now and then for a giggle. "Is HP sauce mod?" (not actual title for a real thread but you get the picture"). And if you wanty bitchiness and backstabbing you can't go wrong in the banter forum Although some of the funnier forum members have left now which is a shame...
Bessie banks and Lew Kirton aren't modern tho are they Jim...some call em "modern oldies"..fook another sub genre.....it's a funny old scene:yes:
Like I said...except proper modern...you're not with it are you Phil:lol: Oldie is a very misused term...methinks:thumbsup: One man's underplayed is another's overplayed..depends where you hang out...
Aren't they all oldies..except proper modern:thumbsup:
Please can members try to remember the Soul Source Terms of Use and House Rules. Thanks Reg
I love it.....be nice to be 2003 or whatever again....eh Steve? thumbsup:
Supervalu...they are part of Musgraves Retail Partners? I do IT for them - tills that kind of thing. Why don't you email them and ask them. group@musgrave.ie Maybe they have in-store radio like the Co-op or it could be a set CD like somebody else said. It may not even be anybody famous-bit like those old Top of the Pops lps in the 70s.
Still absolutely love this...one of the first records that got me really hooked. Very Spencer Davis like..... FANTASTIC!!
Oh dear, I haven't seen or heard anything from Gary since the old Stoke thread days. So sad, my condolences to his family.
It's alright..although I get what Sean means re the loveboat/Barry Manilow comparison! Bit like Johnny Vanelli. ....cheese but kind of likeable in a non soulful way:lol: I love the Jackson Sisters though..yeah it's an oldie but it's still mega:yes:
