"Hailing from Detroit but capturing the rich musical sound of Philly Soul, the R&B group the Spinners took the 1970s by storm, becoming perhaps the greatest soul group of the decade. Scoring number ones on the black and pop singles charts including ""Could It Be I'm Falling In Love,"" ""One of a Kind (Love Affair),"" ""Mighty Love - Pt. 1,"" ""Then Came You,"" ""The Rubberband Man"" and more,"" the Spinners spun and sung their way to utter pop-soul bliss.Starting up a band while in high school, the Spinners were originally named the Domingoes, formed in 1957 in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale by schoolmates Bobbie Smith, Pervis Jackson, George W. Dixon, Billy Henderson and Henry Fambrough. After catching the attention of producer Harvey Fuqua, the Spinners started recording for Fuqua's Tri-Phi Records, releasing the band's first single and instant Top Ten R&B hit ""That's What Girls Are Made For."" Despite the Spinners' instant success, a number of failed singles followed its release and eventually Tri-Phi got bought out by Motown, who largely ignored the R&B group. In 1970 Stevie Wonder gave the Spinners the single ""It's A Shame,"" putting the Detroit group on the map for good. With the help of a record label change to Atlantic Records in 1972, the Spinners worked to revamp their soul style, adding in more instrumentals to make for a more seductive kind of soul music. The integration of the band's new musical style and label change was a deadly combination for the Spinners, and their music went off the hook following. Turning out song after hit song, the Spinners continued to dominate the R&B scene until 1977, when then-lead vocalist Phillipe Wynne went solo. Replaced in the band by John Edwards, the Spinners released a number of minor hits throughout the rest of the ‘70s and early ‘80s before fading out of sight from the music industry."
