1972 and 1973 were the years that the Spinners finally got the chance to breakthrough to a wide audience after years on Motown without any huge success. Now with producer/writer team Thom Bell/Linda Creed, and a deal on Atlantic, they Spinners' hard work finally paid off after years. This joint is surely a winner, with some heavy hitting mid-tempo soul jams. This one contains some legendary jams like the rolling funk of "I'll Be Around" and "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" heavily laden with strings, a staple of Philly Soul. "I'll Be Around" is one of my favorite soul jams of all time, and even though I am 10 years younger than the song is, I remember listening to it and loving it in junior high school (in the mid 90's) when L.A. hip-hop station Power 106 FM had time set aside time for old school jams. Rapper Rappin' 4-Tay also made his own version of it in 1994, a wonderful hip-hop jam which took the funky rolling music and some of the hook vocals for the rap song. Another one of my favorites here is "Just Me and You Baby," a slower, ballad type jam with heavenly harmony. "Ghetto Child" is heavy mid-tempo jam exploring the bad side of growing up in the `hood, very sad and timeless. "How Could I Let You Get Away" is a sadder lyrically rich song laden with sitars later in the song. Phillipe Wynne, Bobbie Smith (great singers), and company surely deliver a rich album full of lush Thom Bell production and sweet harmony and melody; the transition from Detroit to Philly surely was a lucrative one. 1974's Mighty Love is another wonderful soulful album as is 1975's Pick of the Litter. The Spinners are definitely essential listening in order to truly experience what Philly Soul has to offer.
PHILLY SOUL AT IT'S FINEST, I LOVE THIS CD! THE ARRANGEMENTS BY THOM BELL WERE OFF THE CHAIN,I COULD NEVER REPAY YOUR LOVE WAS A BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENT CLASSIC ,EVERY SONG WAS SMOOTH AS SOFT BUTTER,WHY DON'T WE GET MUSIC LIKE THIS NOW FOLKS ,GOOD STUFF FROM ANOTHER SUPER SOUL GROUP FROM THE 70'S........TIMELESS
I can echo what other reviewers have already stated. This is a solid recording. There is absolutely no filler on this. I don't think downloading would be so popular an option if a CD purchase was guaranteed to yield this kind of quality. Thom Bell did some of his best work here and so did the Spinners.
"The Spinners' Atlantic debut remains fresh, vital and timeless to this day."
A fter enduring several years of corporate neglect at Motown, The Spinners signed with Atlantic Records and their chart fortunes changed drastically--for the better. This all-time classic album includes the masterpieces "I'll Be Around", "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love", "I Could Never (Repay Your Love)" and "Ghetto Child" and is rightly regarded as a milestone of 1970s R&B. The Spinners' association with the great Thom Bell would result in some of the best Soul Music ever recorded but this was their first--and best--collaboration.
This was the album that changed my life.There were alot of first here.This was the first album released on alantic for the spinners.The first time we heard philippe wynn(could it be im falling in love taking it home at the end)The first time thom bell and linda creed worked with them.When i first heard this record i was hooked on the spinners with the arrangments of mr bell and the lead changes thats all it took.Just play we belong together and just cant get you of of my mind(you know the other hits the rest of this cd)If you play this cd and dont like it you have a big hole in your soul.Enjoy!
