The Spinners, with a rich history spanning over six decades, are truly timeless and one of the most iconic groups in R&B history. Their enduring appeal is unparalleled, and this Summer marks their return with the first original album in almost 40 years – ‘Round the Block and Back Again.’ The Spinners are credited with creating and defining the smooth sound of Philadelphia Soul, capturing the essence of romance and heartbreak in a collection of classic hits cherished across generations. Hits like “I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love,” “Then Came You,” and “The Rubberband Man” have solidified their place in music history, earning them six Grammy nominations, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and global record sales in the millions.
Originating in Detroit at Motown in 1954, The Spinners transitioned to Atlantic Records in 1972 and joined forces with producer Thom Bell in Philadelphia. Under Bell’s guidance, the band flourished, leading the lush sound of Philly Soul in the 1970s. Fast forward four decades, and The Spinners show no signs of slowing down. ‘Round the Block and Back Again,’ scheduled for release on August 27, beautifully showcases The Spinners at their soulful and multi-octave best, demonstrating their unwavering musical talent and timeless appeal.
