The Spinners

Billy Henderson, G.C. Cameron, Pervis Jackson, Henry Fambrough and
Bobby Smith first formed the Spinners in 1961 Detroit. Originally signed to
Motown with limited success, the Queen Of Soul, Aretha Franklin, opened
the door for their move to Atlantic Records in 1972 where the Spinners
landed on the Hit Parade with their first gold record, “I’ll Be Around”
followed by “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love”, “Then Came You”, “Games
People Play”, “Rubberband Man”, “Working my way back to You” and “Cupid”.

Among their more than 30 chart successes were “It’s a Shame”, “One of a
Kind Love Affair”, “I’m Coming Home” and “Love Don’t Love Nobody”.

Inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999, The Spinners continue
to perform today.

Billy Harrison died due to complications from diabetes on February, 2, 2007
