Biography
The Spinners are an Amercan R&B/ smooth soul singing group originally from Detroit, Michigan and currently consist of Henry Fambrough, Charlton Washington, Marvin Taylor, Jessie Robert Peck and Ronnie Moss.
In 1954 local friends, Billy Henerson, Henry Fambrough, Pervis Jackson, C.P Spencer and James Edwards formed a singing group and called themselves The Domingoes. After Spencer (replaced by George Dixon) and Edwards (replaced by Bobby Smith) left the group, they renamed themselves The Spinners in 1961. By August of that same year, the group found success when they signed with Tri-Phi Records and releasing the single “That’s What Girls Are Made For.” In 1963 Edgar “Chico” Edwards then replaced Dixon and the group was also transferred to Motown Records.
Unfortunately the group didn’t find much commercial success throughout the late 60s, but in 1970 they found chart success once again with their single “It’s A Shame,” peaking at Number 14, followed by their second album, “2nd Time Around.” With the success of the album, Atlantic records convinced the group to sign with their label, however due to contractual obligations, Cameron was not able to make the switch, so he was replaced by Philippe Wynne, and Bobby Smith also returned to lead vocals.
With the signing to Atlantic Records in 1972, the group went on to become one of the best selling R&B vocal groups of the 70s; despite having a very slow start. The group’s album, “Mighty Love,” featured three Top 20 hits, including the biggest hit of the year with Dionne Warwick, “Then Came You.” The band’s continued success unfortunately didn’t last once Wynne left the group in 1977.
Despite the lack of chart success, the group did continue to successfully tour in to the 80s, 90s and 2000s; and in 2011 they were short listed as one of the final nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

The Spinners
As a Detroit native myself, I have a soft spot for all the great artists of the Motown era, and The Spinners are certainly one of the greats. They’ve been around for almost 60 years, so you know these guys have perfected the art of giving a great performance.
The group looks a lot different than they did back when Motown was at its peak, not only because of age but because only one member of the current band, Henry Fambrough, was one of the founding members. Many of the others have since passed away and been replaced in the band, but not a lot has changed as far as their live show goes.
As the group was known for their incredible soulful voices, it was natural for me wonder about the quality of the new members’ singing, but they were able to sing the songs in a way that if I closed my eyes I’d be sure I was hearing the original group. They played all of their classics – and there are a lot of them – Working My Way Back to You, It’s a Shame and The Rubberband Man are just a few that stick out.
I was happy to see that the other aspects of their show haven’t changed either. They came out looking very dapper in matching white suits and their traditional choreographed spins and claps made a great show and kept true to their performing roots.
It’s great to see such a renowned group maintaining their performing quality over the years. If you’re looking for a seamless trip back in time, this show is not to be missed.

Great show...except they didn’t sing their best song: “How could I let you get away”. It was an excellent show and the Spinners sounded exactly as l remembered. I expected them to come out for an encore to sing that last song and l was truly disappointed when they didn’t. It was exceptional, despite the missed song! Would have been one of my favorite concerts had they included that song, but it is what it is. I would definitely see them again!

Very inteactive with the audience. Welcome pics, videos and dancing. It was fun to see the smooth coordinated moves reminiscent of the Motown groups of the sixties. One original member stood out. No encore...disappointing, but they gave the effort. Majority were seniors. A huge value. Tickets were only $27.00 and benefitted local fire fighters' charities.

The Show was awesome...the songs sound just like the original recordings...there dancing was great and the interaction with the audience to be seen. ...i drove from New Orleans

The show was awesome the song sound the same as the original recording...the dancing ...the singing...l had a wonderful time...it was worth the drive from New Orleans, LA TO Biloxi,MS...wish it could have been longer...

They were great even though there is only 1 original member. Still had the same sound. People were dancing and all ages were there. If you remember them from back in the day, you won't be disappointed.
