Truth!!!!!

Love the spinnere forever

Phipps should have remained with the spinners do not burn your btidges

@@rubylee446 ..learn how to spell

one of the BEST🙏🏾🖤

Absolutely!!!!

without a doubt

So true. So should Connie Francis.

They Should Of Been In The Hall Of Fame 20 Years Ago!!!!!! Outstanding Group!!!!! 👍👍👍👍

How ironic, they had the same name....

Good morning Facts There's only 1 surviving original member left yet they still haven't been inducted in to the rock and roll hall of fame

@@tymxeluv5476 😉

There will NEVER BE A GROUP LIKE THE SPINNERS. PHILLIPPE JUST DID IT. I LOVE HIS VOICE TO MY SOUL. PLUS HE WAS FINE, JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HIM.

​

Yes it is. I 💜 this song and the group 💜💜

I agree 💯% with you Beanie 👍

ITS A SHAME AND ONE OF A KIND LOVE AFFAIR ALSO ARE CLASSICS!!

@@thomaspalazzi7795 also Thomas , "Then came you" and "Working my way back to you" 👍

Wake Up Susan

Mighty Love is one of my top songs EVER!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@@crystald8465 Exactly. Whenever I hear it; I can't help but sing along. Voice cracking and stuff. 😆 😆 😆

Especially on a live show

He snapped on Sadie

He must have died during covid

I loved the way he sing

Sometime when u don't have the proper upbringing and someone to love you its hard to maintain your success , u got to really be disipline and great deal of faith, to over come and bringing like that, mother and father gave him away, thats got to be hard,child hood will catch up with you.

There’s an Unsung on the Spinners. In it one of their song writers or producers tried to talk him out of going solo, but he didn’t want to hear it. Obviously it didn’t workout for him.

@@gregoryevans8179 Very often it doesn`t work out when great lead singers leave their groups, David Ruffin for example, and they are usually to blame.

Sometime it do workout depends on your family, Beyonce for example her family is strong, Michael Jackson family is strong, where u believe it or not bobby brown had a pretty firm mother and father, so basically he had a pretty good idenity to handle success, when he left new edition.

Agreed!! I used to tear that album up in the 70’s in college! LOVED me some Spinners!!😎🎯

The Rock Hall of Fame is a joke. No objective standard and a lot of favoritism politics. Not to mention the "Rock" bias Like getting a star on the Walk of Fame. There should be a Popular Music Hall of Fame with a legitimate committee.

Me to, I still bump Mighty Love! He sang that song!

Mighty Mighty Mighty❗💃🏾

@@NurseLadyVLOGS ..trash

That's how I knew it was really him. He faked his death passing away in Detroit in 2022. Really. He sang to us every day. I have a utube video of him so check it out. He told me why and I believed him. The voice is real.

Knee Deep by the Funkadelics????

WoW....I never knew that!! Knee Deep??

Got to see him sing knee deep live all-time

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@lb1798 me either and I've heard that version before lol 😆😂.

It baffles me to hear ourselves shaking our heads when white institutions don't induct our singers, WHY would it bother you? Rock n Roll is the step child of the Delta Blues, Elvis grew up sneaking into black churches, listening to Big Mama Thornton. We didn't need them they needed us. And what they acquired they retained and never stopped producing it. Black folks abandoned the bands and opted out for the MTV platforms back in the late 80's. Run DMC, Rick James, Michael Jackson protesting the all of black entertainers on white platforms as if whites are the final definers of black talent. When with kids were the highest consumer groups of Hip Hop music mid 90s to early 2006 at its height we failed to consolidate ourselves as entrepreneurs, essentially selling ourselves out as servants for hire instead of proud owners of our own culture. Be proud black people for your God given talents. Embrace it and nourish it as a gift not a commodity.

They've been nominated for the 2023 Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. They should have been nominated/inducted a long time ago.

Totally agree

Unfortunately, "THEY" usually wait until the entire group pass and then induct the group into those special top tier categories

Yet theirs alot of flops that was inducted. We know the truth so I don't sweat it

Period...One Love Fam...

You ain't lying!!! and they have other great hits as well!!! Phillipe Wynne is a beast!!! I love the Spinners!!!

Same ... But I would think of my mom . That song to me described her to a Tee !!! Rest in Heaven Mom.❤❤❤❤

"SADIE" played loudly, as we were getting ready 4(Big Mama's Funeral). Almost the VERY same thing happened2me.My GreatGrandma;who'd been raising me,died. That song played ALL DAY LONG.

Such a beautiful song! Stirs up so many feelings and reminds me of all loved ones passed on!

I cannot listen to that song without crying

This reminds me so much of my daddy too. Life is confusing right now, and I cling to the memories of simpler times! Sometimes when he would pick me up after school and it would be just the two of us, he would get the records out and play his songs! Slingers, Harold Melvin and the blue notes, blue magic, stylistics, Michael Henderson, bloodstone, and so many more. I can see him sitting there, buffing his albums with a towel, setting the needle, and telling me all about the artists, where they’re from, what year the songs came out, where he was, what they used to wear. Best daddy ❤️❤️❤️

He was not Spinners. Stop Bobby Smith was always the lead singer. I'll be Around sung by Smith games people play sung by Smith. Could it be I'm falling in love Smith with the exception of the end. Bobby Smith sung hits before Wynne on Motown. That's what girls are made for,. Truly yours and I will always love you. PW went solo not hits as a solo.

Eu tbm ouço há muito tempo, desde os anos 70, da minha adolescência curto muito os Spinners, gosto de colocar no repet e vou fazendo o que tiver prá fazer. Não dá prá cansar, acredito que vou curtir Spinners até a minha morte, amo demais. ❤

Oh yes, make no mistake....

all time funk classic!

Really... na. I seen that lead singer I actually have the DVD where he does this

@@coxwagan Are U saying he didn't sing on that record? KNEE DEEP? Yes he did and he is on the credits but if that's not what U are saying, disregard this message....lol

@@coxwagan Phillipe Wynne comes in midway through the song.The song is 15 minute long.Hes not in the beginning. Hes the one who says "Make no mistake, this funky music has what it takes.To groove you sometimes, knock you down......etc.

Were You At The Apple When Phil Performed There?

@@flutes8 I saw him perform at a nightclub by the name of Mr. Kelly's in Cincinnati.

@@swfljim I Remember Mr Kelly's

@@flutes8 It has been many years ago.

@@flutes8 Phillippe had left the Spinners and was doing his solo act. It was a great show. One of my best memories out of a lot of concerts over the years.

What I am trying to say Eric is that the rock and roll hall of fame has no knowledge , they're dysfunctional and they even put artists that don't belong in ... and to snub the Spinners three times(2011 ,14 & 15) is a total disgrace to music ... there should be one that is more into music and call it The Music Hall of Fame

You know something ,IMO,the hall of fame sucks so much. It's a lot of politics.another great act of the 70's we're the stylistics I don't think ever got the love they deserve.So much great music in all genres in that time.so don't be so upset over the hall of fame,it's not all its cracked up to be.

@@richardjackson1858 you're absolutely right Richard 👍

Jay Z's in and spinners are not in the Hall wow.

@@jazzman688 you see what I mean bro , this rock and roll hall of fame is garbage 🗑

Mine too!!!!

I agree! They were nominated but have yet to be inducted. Them and Tears for Fears need to be in the Hall of fame!

Word

I agree completely

@@Kikyolover9 Same here!!

No doubt

I use to think like that...big "dreams".

Great idea

Excellent idea Phyllis. We do need a Black R&B Hall of Fame . I agree with you 100% .

Yessss that’s a great idea!

Yeah, but when we do, it doesn't have the clout.. Need to change the influence and break the other down...

True

That's beautiful I'm glad to hear that.

I've been to Detroit Memorial Park East a few times looking for various graves, including Flo Ballard & Phillipe. Even this many years later there is no gravestone on Phillipe's grave.

Oh man really never noticed that

And it's a shame and we'll have it made

Woooooooow I literally just listened to Grandmaster Dee play that song on one of his dj sets he did years ago I never knew who it was that singing it 😳.

@@KariTheBarb me either I heard Grandmaster Dee play it on one of his dj sets.

@@zacharyboyd5391: I remain CONVINCED that the theme for 'Cougar Town' (Courtney Cox's best-known post-'Friends' show, on ABC) was DIRECTLY influenced by "We'll Have It Made" - a TERRIBLY-underrated hit of theirs.....

Yes, he could sing with the best of them.

The irony!

I love hall and oates and I absolutely can hear the influence on Sara smile....

Daryl definitely sounds a LOT like Philippe.

Agreed

Tina Marie was underrated n was blue eyed soul!

Looove Daryl Hall, never knew Philippe was one of his influences, makes sense though. Great stuff, really talented men.

You and me tooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

You ain't lying. I paused the t.v. and jumped right on here.

Same

I swear

Same for me I adore this King channel

That's his son who lost his life.

Linda Creed was a songwriter and part of the background singers called 'The Sigma Sweethearts'. She and Phyllis Hyman were lovers at one time. Unfortunately she passed away from breast 🎀 cancer.

David Ruffin sang lead on their biggest hits. But Eddie Kendricks was the voice of the Temptations as well, and he arguably sung lead in just as many or more songs than David Ruffin.

@@JDavis-vq1rx true true. But when David Ruffin took over as lead, Eddie Kendricks didn't get much lead except on three top ten hits but sang on six number one hits.

Why do people keep saying Phillipe and bobby sounds the same, they don't Phillipe was another level.

@@dwaynethomas4655 yes Philippe Wynne was another level, they don't sound identical but almost. Just listen to a Spinners songs like "Mighty Love" my favorite.

Marvin Whittaker that song is a classic example of how different the were Phillipe took.that song and carry like it was his own that's one of my favorite. But to be honest Billy was my favorite spinner of all yea he never sang lead on any of thier songs or albums but Billy was the spinners without Billy the spinners wouldn't have been a group.

Yep. I remember since I’ve been gone also. Not released as a single that I know, but a classic none the less…😎🎯

Love that song

Yesss I love this song to especially when Felipe Wynn’s start ad libing at the end….But my favorite song by them is Love don’t love nobody ohhhhh 😍😍😍😍😍😍it the studio but the live version is fire

They didn't sell out Detroit machine motown tha dramatics enchantment we can go on Detroit greatest groups next to the machine set up by motown the temptation !

@@ladygemini5967 that's my favorite part of the song also.

Thank you, I didn't know who they were until you said that song! It's those nuances. I hate that I don't know most of these people. Thankful someone is here to tell us and for people like you, who can give it the attention it deserves in greater context.

WOW ! Yes , 🎶 could it be I'm falling in love ... with you baby .. could it be I'm falling in LLLove ... with you .. with you ... with yooouuuu .... 🎶 , magnificent melody 💙 ✨✨

There you go Bigbaby , passing good taste on to the family 🌟🌟🤩

So Phillippe Wynne Is Your Cousin On His Mother Or Father Side?

@@flutes8 are you trying to be funny

no doubt !..Sadie alone

@@gritzgravy1760 Trying To Be Funny About????

@@gritzgravy1760 you called Phil your cousin he is my cousin i was wondering if you and i could be related too.

I love it also

True. i agree with you. the pictures i seen had a lot of people including The Spinners.

Niceeeeeee

Phillippe went to Samuel Ach with my uncle

@@angitee1956 Dope!

Wow King Lord did know that. Thanks for the info. Sad !

Trust me it was sad and you know none of them showed up for Billy when he was at this last moment. So I guess the group is like that when it comes to a few of thier former band mates. RIP billy and Phillipe.

true

YEP! (Not Just) Knee Deep.

I agree 💯

Show u right✊👊

Wow I didn’t know that, thank you so much wow I’m shocked

He also sung the theme song for Different Strokes as well!!

That’s the problem with great talents. They need humility. Same with David Ruffin & on & on…

@@brianjohnson9456 I concur

Good afternoon just like Ruff but the difference was the name could not change because Spinners had more than lead singer. Secondly he didn't have an affair with a Gordie.The Spinners were a great group with and without him.
