- The Mighty Spinners at the top of their game at the Hammersmith Apollo in April 1975. Philippe Wynne unleashes some of his best scat singing. Look out for Sister Sledge, Ben E. King and more. Details of 1,000's of other vintage performances at www.lightscamerabackbeat.com
As of 2023, The Spinners along Henry, Pervis, Bobby, Billy, Philippe, and John are inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame.
👏👏👏
I bought tickets to see The Spinners way back when they were the top soul group. Wasted my money on a seat. Man, I was on my feet, cheering and yelling the entire concert. They were GREAT!
i loved when phillipe wynne would get happy and skip across the stage on mighty love
It keeps me coming back for more and MORE !
Same here addicted to this video omg
Don't forget the drumer, guitar player , bass player, all the musicians were on point everytime..... phenomenal...
The rhythm section on Spinners 1970s live dates crushed it.
YEEEEEEESSS!!! Thank you for saying EXACTLY what I was about to say! The TIGHT AS PHUCK rhythm section supplied a ROCK SOLID foundation for the Hammond B3 Player to GO OFF!!!
When I was a kid in the 70's we always referred to Phillipe as the "ham", not realizing at the time we were witnessing the greatest ad-libber in vocal history.
I really miss the 70's
Absolutely nothing makes me feel like they do. KILLING it. Those days are over but those of us that lived it were SO LUCKY
Amen
I’m actually laying in bed 11:35 PM dancing to this song. I’m telling you right now, if Philippe Wynn shouting don’t make you get up and dance nothing else will. That man’s voice wasn’t nothing but the truth. R.I.P. your singing voice will forever be in my heart. 💙
PHILIPPE WYNN WAS EVERYTHING!!!! May he continue to RIP 🙏🏽❤️
Who says artist can't sing AND dance at the same time? The doubters need to watch videos of singers from the 60's & 70's perform live. This is TRUE TALENT!
THE SPINNERS NEVER ACHIEVED THE RECOGNITION THEY SHOULD HAVE! THEY DESERVE AN HONORARY GRAMMY! ONLY 2 OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS IS EVEN LIVING! I LOVE THIS GROUP!
i fully agree
Just one of the originals is left.
Henry is the only original member alive💔
They are all gone 2021
If it wasn't for Thom Bell who I believe was working at Atlantic Records they would have been forgotten. There was a list of artists being looked at and the Spinners were at the bottom of the list. Thom Bell looked at the list and said, "I want to work with the Spinners and the rest is history. Thom Bell and Linda Creed began to work with them and their first hit I believe was "Rubberband Man."
Man or Woman, There Will Never Be Another Singer or Entertainer Like Philippe Wynne . He is the Sole Reason terms like Ad Lib, Improvising, Runs, etc., were created to describe what he can do, for example, in between the words ‘Mighty Love’ with a song effortlessly, and here he even Tops (No Pun Intended) the Studio Version of the song and I really did not think that was possible. RIP Philippe. We Will Never Forget You or Your Incredible Talents and Musical Legacy🙏🏽🎤🎼🎹🎭🎫🎟🏆🥇✝️🛐☯️☮️
You are a million percent correct. Philippe Wynne was the King of adlibs and spontaneous verses. The best i ever heard!!!
There will never be another like Philippe Wynne
This brotha is straight up PREACHING!!!

THAT STAGE IS ON FIRE........WOW.....BETWEEN PHILLPE AND THAT ORGAN PLAYER.......OH MY GOD WHAT A SHOW !!!!!!!!
I know right !
Rodney Stepp is Organist. In an interview, he said he was child progedy at
4 ½ years old and enrolled at Jordan College of Music for private piano lessons. Thankful to technology that we can now research and benefit from these unsung heroes of music🎉❤
@@browneshugar9762 Thanks for info !!!
That's Rodney Stepp on organ. And...he's STILL badd.
@@browneshugar9762 thank you so much l, friend , for providing this info!
Another effortless performance by a Soul Master, Wynne, backed up by the MIGHTY Spinners. What a night in London -- the group transfixed the loving audience . Wynn had the energy and soul to continue another half-hour. It's 2023 and no one on the musical landscape can delivery this harmony and soul, that we enjoyed in the '70's. Thanks Domin for the great video .
Who needs lyrics. Nothing better than Philippe Wynn scatting !!!!
Henry passed away on February 7th.
May they all rest peacefully.
Phillippe IS music personified.
One of the things that I like about Mr. Phillipe
He will take you to church when you don’t know you are going. Calling on his life 🙏🙌🏿
I KNOW RIGHT......THANK YOU LORD !
Beautifully put sir - greetings from a Spinners fanatic in London
Wow!!!! I love it . I can never get enough of Philippe Wynne and The Spinners.
Yes, I wanted the curtain to open again for more...
@@MrDomin099 Lol. Yes sir. I never wanted the curtains to close at all. Good sir if you have any more videos of The Spinners please post. I will be waiting. Thanks again for sharing your awesome videos . You are awesome!!!!
@@philippewynne I appreciate the comments. I've just uploaded Then Came You (with Toni Sledge) and Ghetto Child from the same show. Hope you enjoy!
@@MrDomin099 You are the man!!!! Once again you came through in the clutch and made my day. I appreciate you. And like I said once before if you have anymore videos with Philippe Wynne and The Spinners or even his solo work keep em coming. You are one awesome individual and you rock!!!!!!!
the all time greats, have DISTINCTIVE voices...they have "something" that no other human being has. And Mr Wynne was one of those singers. The big fella didnt live a long life...only 43 yo, when he made his transition from this world to the next. But just like Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Barry White (all young when they died), Wynne left his mark. His genius was such that NOBODY in the music industry has even attempted to sing like he did.
Philippé “The Spinners Show Stopping King” Wynne. I love him so much!!
Yes sir. Me too 😊😊
Me too! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖❤️❤️❤️❤️
The only Man in show business that can sing mighty love and receive the holy ghost at the same time
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THE ICONIC, LEGENDARY, SOULFUL, G.O.A.T, DYNAMIC SPINNERS❤❤❤❤❤😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 THE FABULOUS PHILIPPE WYNNE did NOT WANT TO LET THIS MIGHTY LOVE GOOO!!!! I COULD HAVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO 50 TIMES❣❣❣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍😍😍😍 IT WARMED MY HEART AND KEPT A SMILE ON MY FACE!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR THE MULTI FABULOUS SPINNERS💙💙💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Michele, don't hold back!!! Tell us how you really feel!!!! Just kidding. Love the Mighty Spinners too!
They Should be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!!!!
Amen!
@@EasyE3939 They aren't? That's criminal!
@@Raven-ug8uw It really is. A hits and the longevity... smh
I didn’t know they aren’t …all these 1970s REAL MUSIC GUYS SHOULD BE THERE
AMEN !!!!! ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME !!!!! NOW !!!!!
I saw The Spinners in NY in 1977 and when they closed the show with Mighty Love and Phil Wynne did the same thing, the whole place went completely crazy.
I saw them too...in Jersey...they closed the show down with. Mighty love. Omg. How can anyone not feel it? In their soul? The whole audience...and myself too...went crazy. Loved them so much! Long time ago,..still love to listen to them. 👍💖
They put on a great show every time.... Thom Bell deserves all of the credit for writing and arranging all that made them great. The One and only Spinners Live album is a masterpiece. I saw the Spinners at The Latin Casino in Cherry Hill NJ... six times and at The Valley Forge Music Fair a couple... As a little kid about 13 in 1975 I was a lucky dude to be on the inside.all of the Spinners where so nice to little me, The Philipe era was the best.. Thom Bell came to our house one day with a demo tape, it was "Ruberband Man", told me all would be singing it and after I head it I knew it was a smash... Love you TB. Your are the best ever!
great story. The Spinners and Mr Bell deserve a hell of a lot more recognition than they presently have. They were very special
I have watched at least five performances of Mighty Love where Philippé Wynne threw Bobby Smith off the stage, and it's hilarious every time.
Good Lawd!!!! Phil went to CHUCCCHHHH with this song!!! Love his energy on this song, Could It Be Im Falling In Love and One Of A Kind (Love Affair). He never should have left The Spinners 😢
It hurts my heart to watch this incredibly charismatic & inspirational performance, and know that Phillippe Wynne died of a heart attack at age 43. I honestly think that had he lived longer both he and the other band mates would've reunited, the Spinners would've soared to new heights and given us even more to love and remember them for. Of course this did not happen, and even the last surviving member passed away fairly recently. RIP to all of the Spinner's. You truly shared with us a mighty love!
Philippe Wynn was a master show man. He should have never left. I agree they should be in the rick and roll hall of fame.
AMEN
Boy I felt all that concert at the end..It was definitely one of kind.Philippe took us home.
A mighty voice has Philippe! He gets into a song like no other!
Hahaha Don Freeman here. I was playing keyboards with Sister Sledge on this Atlantic Records Tour with The Spinners, Ben E King and The Jimmy Castor Bunch. We toured all over the UK with 2 dates in Germany and I date in Paris. I actually saw guitarist extraordinaire Joe Pass at Ronnie Scott’s on my night off. Had a great time and eventually moved to Los Angeles a few years later to play with Bill Withers and wrote songs for Jeffrey Osborne, Chaka Khan, Sergio Mendes, George Duke, David Sanborn, Robert Palmer and “ Carousel “ for none other than Michael Jackson ❤
Now, THAT performance was 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!!
The SPINNERS have never been better than when they belt out MIGHTY LOVE ... What an Incredible Song !
This group never cheated us! All class
Despite what most people may say in my opinion I think Bobby Smith and Philippe Wynne had one of the greatest friendships ever.
I agree with you Jonathan. Bobby Smith & Philippe Wynne always did their vocal swaps perfectly, as well as Henry Fambrough. I think Bobby & Philippe were more like brothers. The pic of Purvis, Bobby & Henry standing in front of Philippe’s casket says it all. It was if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. But on a happy note, we have videos to keep the memories alive. And, Henry is still here, in his 84th year.
In the 70s spinners had hit after hit. But this live show is still un matched. Phil is a true entertainer think you bro I love you always
I am watching every bit of PHILLIPPE WYNNE! This is a college course in HOW TO WORK IT!!!!! Work that choreography Spinners. (Cholly Atkins!) Love every ounce of this! The organ player is KILLIN!!!!!!!!
The days of feel good music. ❤️ Great performance.
I cant get over phippie wow i never seen the spinners have so much fun
Boy,they turn the place out, my Boys The Spinners
Man oh Man this is Classic🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Simply the BEST! Phillipe Wynne, always a standout.
How could he continue to bounce like that and nail the vocal better than the record. There are some talented singers out here today but this energy is something very different. I 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤🙏🏽
Philippe Wynne was an unbelievable talent !!!!
Philippe didn't pay no damn games!!! A SANGER!!!!
❤ That band and Philippe take it home.
love em so love Philippe listen all the time and share with the man i love - they should be in the hall of fame
My favorite R & B song of all time! The Spinners were the best!
Mr. Phillipe Wynne at his finest!! My 1st time seeing this performance. THANK YOU
Mighty mighty mighty mighty mighty mighty love.
Absolutely beautiful! RIP to all of them !
2o21 February 7 yall are great still amen
Philipe having a disco praise break
I never seen Henry have so much fun
Great download...wish you had the entire Spinners performance. They along with their orchestra led by the legendary Thom Bell...When they performed in concert...were arguably the greatest.
It is a damn shame the Spinners are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame...no one better in concert than them in the 70's
The orchestra along was worth the price of admission. We may never again see a full orchestra playing such beautiful soul music.
That's not Thom Bell leading their orchestra when they were performing live in concert. I think Thom stopped conducting live bands at shows after Sigma opened up in 1968. For most of their concerts they used the Ray Papai orchestra.
The Spinners were so phenomenal absolutely phenomenal.
They’re my all time favourite soul group.
Mighty Love so superb.
Brother Bob Smith, Brother Phil Wynne and Brother John Edwards man oh man.
I grew up on these guys, The Spinners. I love this.
When I die, I hope to come back and see these guys, with th magnificent Philip Wynne live!!!!!
This was such a fun time in life.😊❤
The holy dancing got in his feet i felt it now 2021
I can’t find words to describe how good this group was, Phillips Wynne was the most talented soul artist I have ever seen. R.I.P
“I knew when I first met you that you had a mighty love Baby!”
Just Fantastic One Of A kind group! Their choreography hasn't been matched by any other group! To sing while dancing is incredible!
I love them. My absolute favorite group.
That was fabulous the best video of Mighty Love. Wynne at the top of his game that night.
Our smooth jazz artist Rodney Stepp was the keyboard player during the 70's for The Spinners. He is the keyboard player that played the Hammond B3 Solo on the live version of Mighty Love.
He also played with Sister Sledge on this European tour. Thanks for sharing!
Rodney and Philippe had it down! Whenever Philippe leaves the mike Rodney goes for it!
@@MrDomin099 thank you for recognizing! :) What a fun ride with The Spinners. Rodney Stepp
He killed it on the B3!
That B3 yes just like my late guy Gil Scott Heron.
What a spiritual power he had inside phippie God spirt
Thats right!!!!
So love to sing them singing live, they were just great.
I was lucky enough to see them perform back in 70’s. In Jersey. I was in second row from stage...right in center! What a performance! What talent! They were phenomenal! Phillip ‘soul’ Wynne brought the place down! So much soul...energy...and cutest dimples! Will never forget that night....and I’m 73 yrs old now....still listening to these guys! 👍💫💫💫💫💫👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️
Organ player killing it. I'm completely shook!!!
Wow! My first time seeing this!
Nothing but pure talent and soul, he was truly blessed. God had a plan for him, his life was short, but he will be forever remembered.
Thank you so much for posting this! Amazing video of Philippé Wynne and the Spinners doing their thing. So joyous
Absolutely one of the best voices and entertainers of his time.
That was FANTASTIC 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is way I like Ole School music the Spinners were fantastic performers.
Every since "Celebrity Underrated" Phillipe Wynn episode I been on a Spinners binge!! These boys were bad!!
That cat was phenomenal every performance with Phillipe was like going to church, rest in glorious peace black brother. And that sentiment is extended to all the rest of this wonderful group that are no longer with us.
This is what true performance is. I love the music and message. Phillips voice brings so much comfort.
Mighty Love show/skit sure does indicate the premonition how it was that Phillipe would one day suffer a heart attack during a performance and die the next day. Phillipe was wired.
RIP -the great Thom Bell 🙏🏿🙏🏿🥲
If this doesn't raise your soul up and bring you out of your ills, nothing will.❤
Philippe Wynne’s energy made every concert a party.
so proud they performed in my country
I LOVE THIS!!!!
I saw them around this time at the Valley Forge Music Fair near Philly. I was 9 or 10 and it was the first concert I ever attended (I was too young to understand that the way they closed the show was an act and thought that Philippe was really refusing to leave the stage against the wishes of the rest of the group.). The Spinners of the Philippe Wynne era will never be topped.
Awesome performance. One of my favorite groups of all time. A great album. I used to listen to this album all the time
Philippe Wynn is a master showman
Tremendously athletic performance while belting out outstanding vocals.
My book these guys were and still way up there.
Truly magical....
Extremely Awesome, great, marvelous, fantastic & super, the mighty Spinners!!!!
ALL young people watching: THIS is what I love about our Black people / African Americans! 70's soul at its finest. If you don't know this music, its sound, its feeling, its people, well then, YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN before you leave the planet. #AMightyLove #CLASSIC #TheBestMusicEver!!! #TheRhythm #TheHarmony #TheStyle #ThePride #TheShomanship A-1!!!
PS. Most of all #THELOVE!!! That's what's missing. That's what the Spinners music was about. That's what we gotta go back to!!!
Show you right 👍
Mr Phillipe Wynne was a bad dude ❤❤❤❤
Man that shuffle and scoot Philyppe Wynn do is so entertaining and the vocals out of this world
This is one of his Best Performances the Man Went to Chuuch on them !!
I was at this concert but the one in Manchester uk it was a great show
That phil kills that dance and adlib
That's the way Love goes.
What a performance
Thank you i never seen this please give more
