FIRST TIME HEARING The Spinners - Love Don't Love Nobody Reaction

[@jessiejones450]

The Spinners is one of my favorite groups. They could sing and dance with the best of them. They gave great live performances.

[@johnneils9084]

The Spinners had that special sound that is timeless and they are missed but will never be forgotten.

[@lutherbrice1316]

I'm glad you did the long version. Those short radio versions of songs typically cut too much out.

[@marshagreen9759]

I love this song and I love this group. You selected a good one today and thanks for playing it.

On July 13, 1984, while performing at Ivey's nightclub in Oakland, California, Wynne suffered a heart attack and died the following morning.

[@sereneamani1713]

I know people who were there that night. I didn't know he was in town and I am so glad I wasn't there. I LOVE Phiillipe's style and passion. Sometimes listening to "Sadie" is too emotional for me, for various reasons.

[@leroywilliams1176]

@@sereneamani1713 Iam, I agree Sadie always hit my heart strings too....

[@bmuhamad]

My understanding is that Phillipe sang this song with two encores. On the third turn of performing, he had a massive heart attack.

I love this group. They have soooooo much great music. They blew up when they got connected to the Philly sound!!!

[@wandamanning9198]

Phillip Wynn sang the heck out of this song. May he rest in peace

[@icycaribe]

Brings me joy to see young people learn and appreciate the Spinners. The man is literally crooning and giving his heart in ways thst are rare today. For good reason. I have a playlist for them. It’s golden. Good video.

[@reshaud81]

They have like 19 #1 hit songs but I love their music. A Mighty Love, How Did I Let You Get Away, Sadie, Its A Shame and Just As Long As We Have Love are my favorites!

The LEGENDARY Spinners featuring Mr Phillipe Wynne ❤❤❤❤❤

[@cathyreed6723]

Glad you listened to the longer version - it's always better - you miss a lot of context when it's shorter (even in instrumentals)! Phillipe Wynne was one of the great ad-libbers!!!RIP❤

[@marcphilippe1053]

👍 Philly sound ❤ this track is really a gem, before it's over you feel the need to hear it again

[@SopranoSistah]

I knew you’d figure it out, because this is the definitive version for sure. Thank you for airing THIS!!!!🎼🎶👏🏾👏🏾☑️☑️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥I also like your take on the meaning. There’s definitely not just one answer. My take: Only by unwittingly falling for someone’s false version of love and getting hurt do we learn that it can happen to anyone - even “smart” people. That’s why getting to slowly know even someone you’re “crazy about” or seriously crushing on is wise, because those early butterflies will calm down anyway. Friendship first.

[@leroywilliams1176]

NT you made a great point. Oftentimes, when emotions are at that threshold, logical thinking goes out the window.....

Jean Carne also does a version of this song, I prefer her version, love me some Jean Carne✨💜💚💖🕊

Yes, you must really love Jean Carne to prefer her version. Just a lol! I like Phil Perry's version too. But LOVE LOVE this one.

The LP version is ALWAYS better. You'll get more out of it than the radio version...classic right here...

Off one of the great Soul Albums ever the Mighty Love Album

[@kimkann5938]

The first beat is like the song the end of the road

[@sereneamani1713]

Yes, many have commented on how "End of the Road" seems heavily influenced by this, right down to the monologue.

[@cathyreed6723]

True - I just realized that!!!

[@TaylorMadeCori]

It sounds familiar for another reason - I don't know if you have done "End of the Road"...but for those who know it.....start singing that chorus from 0:49- 0:55 LOLOLOL.

[@SopranoSistah]

You have perfect ears, Cornelia. Melodically it is virtually the same. Composers think they’re slick sometimes when they’re “borrowing” bars from older tunes.

[@TaylorMadeCori]

@@SopranoSistah Thanks!! It bothered me for the longest time....everytime I would hear the chorus...I was like " I KNOW that from somewhere"..LOL.

[@melissamason7618]

The Spinners song 'Love Don't Love Nobody' has been covered by female singer Jean Carne, and singer Phil Perry.

[@kurtadams3021]

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Thom Bell ❤

[@bmuhamad]

Also an added tidbit. Phillipe had an association with Bootsy & Phelps Collins band, The House Guests. Haven't found any recordings. Through an interview with one of the members, the band split up initially to back up The Spinners. Shortly after, Bootsy & Phelps met with George Clinton through Mahlia Franklin. Phillipe went with the Spinners. Bootsy & Phelps went with George Clinton and later, formed P-Funk. The Spinners went on to have a number of hits, then later Phillipe later left The Spinners, then met George Clinton, then joined...

[@leroywilliams1176]

Bootsy and Houseguest recorded "What So Never The Dance". It's quite a funky song....

[@marcuscross6840]

The Spinners' connection to the 'Philly Sound' was by way of Thom Bell, who was a cohort of Gamble & Huff, back when the three of them produced hits for the likes of Jerry Butler. Thom Bell, and his writing & producing crew were the driving force for major hits by the Delfonics, and later, the Stylistics. When the Spinners signed with Atlantic Records, the Spinners were the prime group Thom Bell wanted to produce. Thom Bell is a monster, y'all!

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

This is their signature song the ultimate classic

[@pammysplaylist2706]

Boy you know you in there ! Do the damn thang !

[@davidpage4457]

True soul singing at its best. A time when lyrics expressed true feelings that stood the test of time. Gamble and Huff did it again. Philly sound!

[@maggynewtown3500]

The Spinners were arranged and produced by Thom Bell. On the ATLANTIC label.

[@lumpjuice1]

My interpretation of this song is only a foolish person believes that love does not exist or they are not worthy of love.

[@sereneamani1713]

Interesting take!

Jammin, thank you for allowing me to redeem myself. This my all time favorite love song....

just ok - Spinner's have much more impactful and groovin hits. One of my favorites from them is Games People Play

[@Dirtyvinyl23]

I prefer Jean Carne’s version of this song 🎧 This version is the original as far as I know but Jean puts her heart and soul into her version of this song. This version is nice though but, personally, I prefer her version. I also love the string arrangements. They certainly don’t make this type of high calibre Soul music, and if you they do it’s often buried. Your subscribers have good taste.
