In honor of black history month the American R&B music legends the Spinners are the epitome of love and unity in an increasingly harsh world in every genre, and venue of media, and entertainment towards women, and the bond of love. The Spinners did as much, and are still doing for love as much as any musicians in musical history, adding to the sweetness of black history, and the world's love life. The Spinners began in Detroit, and kept the hits alive particularly through the 70's with one original member Henry Fambrough still touring today.
The groups respect for women was evident with every song, melody, and track with classics like Then Came You (Dionne Warwick featured the Spinners), I'll Be Around, Could It Be I'm Falling In Love, and How Could I Let You Get Away. Even with a lovesick man's ballad It's a Shame, the Spinners love of womankind, and humanity still shines through masks of harsh reality in a world desperately in need of a little more lovin.
