Album of the Day

One of the classiest and most successful soul groups of the 1970s, the Spinners had paid their dues for more than a decade (including a stint at Motown) when they signed to Atlantic Records in 1972. With gifted singer Philippe Wynne taking over lead vocal chores and hot producer Thom Bell providing immaculate musical arrangements, the Spinners could do no wrong, placing seven singles in the Top Ten and earning numerous Gold albums. Released in 1978 shortly after Wynne’s departure for a solo career, THE BEST OF THE SPINNERS features 10 stone-cold classics including “I'll Be Around,” “One of a Kind (Love Affair),” “The Rubberband Man” and the group’s No.1 duet with Dionne Warwick, “Then Came You.”
