Buy Now	The Very Best of the Spinners (more) »rank: 5665 by: The Spinners : :Although their first album appeared in the early '60s, it was with 1975's 'They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)' that the Spinners really got moving. They emerged as one of the poppiest of the '70s soul bands, which cost them dearly in credibility. But their best songs were stunning--and by the time original vocalist Philippe Wynne left the group, in 1977, they'd racked up enough successes to stuff a greatest-hits package from top to bottom. Atlantic's 1978 'Best of the Spinners' LP was that package, although this release augments it with later hits like 'Working My Way Back to ...	Buy Now	A One of a Kind Love Affair: The Anthology (more) »rank: 88718 by: The Spinners : :Despite hailing from Detroit, the Spinners had only sporadic success as a Motown act, most notably with the Stevie Wonder-produced 'It's a Shame.' But with the early-'70s addition of Philippe Wynne as lead singer and new associations with Atlantic Records and producer Thom Bell, the group was transformed into one of the decade's key soul acts. With Wynne's gorgeous voice and ever-inventive improvisations riding Bell's smooth tracks, the Spinners made deathless single after deathless single while also committing must-own LPs like the self-titled one that featured 'I'll Be Around.'

First, there's Philippe Wynne, the sweet-voiced lead tenor who joined the Spinners not long before the album was recorded in 1972. And second, there's Thom Bell, the songwriter, producer, and arranger who, at Philly International, had already worked with the O'Jays and the Blue Notes. This historic teaming resulted in the soul-pop smashes 'Could It Be I'm Falling in Love,' 'One of a Kind (Love Affair),' and 'Ghetto Child,' each of them matching Wynne's sweet leads with Bell's lush and delicate, but always deep-in-the-groove, arrangements. --David ...

Buy Now	Pick of the Litter (more) »rank: 82660 by: The Spinners : :Under the steady hand of producer, arranger, and composer Thom Bell, the Spinners hit their stride in the mid-1970s, when Phillipe Wynne's mellifluous tenor led them to the pinnacle of luxurious Philly soul. This 1975 album celebrates love found, laments love lost, and pledges love again while the smooth vocals and rich orchestrations punctuate the message. 'Games People Play' became a huge hit with its poetic lyrics and a female 'character' answering Wynne's queries. The defiant 'Love or Leave' and 'All That Glitters Ain't Gold' add elements of funk and disco, providing contrast to the sweeter, string-heavy ballads. --Marc Greilsamer	Buy Now	The Chrome Collection (more) »rank: 142528 by: The Spinners :Album Description:One of a kind - The Sublime Soul of the Spinners showcased on their first-ever boxed set (62 tracks on 3 CDs), a career-spanning collection featuring choice album cuts, previously unreleased tracks, and all the hits!
