Biography

No, not Phillipe Wynne and company out of Philadelphia, but a Liverpool-based folk quartet formed by Mick Groves, Hugh Jones, Cliff Hall, and Tony Davis in the basement of a restaurant during the early '60s. Playing acoustic guitars and tin whistle, these Spinners specialized in traditional folk and folk revival material, and fit in perfectly with the spirit of the times -- when folk music was all… Read more in Amazon's Spinners Store

The 30 gems on this 2-disc compilation highlight the career of The Spinners, one of the greatest soul vocal groups ever who embodied the essence of phenomenal Philadelphis soul with their lush, sophisticated sound which shot them to the heights of both the pop and R&B charts repeatedly.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best of the Spinners...& Then Some, December 15, 2007
By 
dwood78 (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Definitive Soul (Audio CD)
This is really an expansion of the single disc The Very Best of the Spinners as all 16 songs from that collection are here (with a few variations; "Mighty Love", "Love Don't Love Nobody", "Living a Little, Laughing a Little", & "They Just Can't Stop It (The Games People Play)" are presented in their LP versions here). The rest of the songs ranch from being very good to barely likeable. Thankfully only a handful of songs are in the latter.

If you looking for an in-depth look at this group's stay at Atlantic Records, this is the way to go (mind you, only one song, "It's a Shame" is from Motown. There are CDs that cover the Spinners' years stay there as well.)

4.0 out of 5 stars The greatest group around, July 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Definitive Soul (Audio CD)
I am a big fan of the Spinners. Their music style cannot be matched by anyone. Phillipe Wynne (sp) was one of the best singers around. His voice had such a soul felt quality that it could make you cry. I could not get all of the hits that I wanted on this collection so I ordered another selection to go with it (Pick of the Litter)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spinners The Definite Soul Collection, May 14, 2009
This review is from: Definitive Soul (Audio CD)

A truly awesome collection of the old school Philly Sound that I had missed esp listening to the latest type of music in the market, Thom Bell was a genius... If you want to enjoy old school jams I would advise you to buy this cd
