Loved Rubberband Man. Saw them perform it on The Tonight Show dancing with large rubber bands. So cool.

That song was written by Stevie Wonder and his future wife.

Nice piece of trivia there. It sounds like a Stevie song, but I had not heard that he wrote it. Cool.

I liked their different sound. Games people play was so original.
Loved Could it be I’m falling in love.
Some of those guys back then, the sentimentality of those songs, so nice.

Yes, he also wrote thew music for Tears of a Clown, and Tell Me Something Good for Rufus/Chaka Khan.

Oddly enough the Spinners didn’t mention Bitches or Ho’s in their love songs.

Stevie Wonder is a musical genius! *wipes nose*
But seriously, Innervisions is still one of my favorite albums.

The hey-day of the Spinners coincided with the time I was a young teen and middle teen and all that goes with that.
Rest in peace, Henry, and thanks for all the beautiful memories you and the other Spinners helped make over the years.
Here's another one Henry sang lead on:
The Spinners - I Don't Want To Lose You

One of their last big hits was a cover of "Working My Way Back To You" in 1980, cover of a Four Seasons song. They had "Cupid" shortly after that, cover of a Sam Cooke song. That was the last of their big hits.

“Could it be I’m Falling in Love” and “I’ll Be Around”.
Smooth, great music and words. The Spinners will be missed but their music will live on forever.

The scene from “Stripes” when they enter the strip club. That was first time I heard that song and thought it was the coolest song ever.

Stevie started to get a little too PC Preachy by then.
