	The Spinners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spinners are a Detroit, Michigan -based soul band popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
		The Spinners are known in the United Kingdom as The Detroit Spinners or The Motown Spinners because a Liverpool based folk band had taken the name in Britain during the 1960s.
		The Spinners first hit the charts in 1961, with "That's What Girls Are Made For." In 1964, they made their debut at the Apollo Theater and won instant acclaim, a rare feat at the time.

	THE SPINNERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the summer of 1970, around the time the Spinners’ Motown contract expired and almost a year after it was recorded, Wonder’s “It’s a Shame” became an international smash for the Spinners and gave the world a glimpse of a future supergroup.
		Interestingly, while the Spinners had not garnered much commercial success during their Motown years, they had earned the interest of a young producer named Thom Bell, who felt that the Spinners tight harmonies and smooth delivery could be the perfect vehicle for his brand of sophisticated soul music.
		I recall being at their joint concert in Detroit (the first of four Spinners concerts I attended), where the exuberance, audience engagement and general clowning around that was the hallmark of a Spinners set contrasted sharply with the almost mechanistic precision of the Temptations act, and completely won over the audience.

		The Spinners were the greatest soul group of the early '70s, creating a body of work that defined the lush, seductive sound of Philly soul.
		With his assistance, the Spinners developed a distinctive sound, one that relied on Wynne's breathtaking falsetto and the group's intricate vocal harmonies.
		Though the Spinners had some R&B hits at Motown during the late '60s, including "I'll Always Love You" and "Truly Yours," they didn't have a genuine crossover success until 1970, when Stevie Wonder gave the group "It's a Shame." Motown never concentrated on the Spinners, and they let the group go in 1972.

	Spin me a yarn
		The spinners are described as biting the lumps out of the yarn, this practice seems strange to us now but tallys with the flax spinner wetting the fibres in her mouth to aid spinning.
		Hebridean spinners used a simple rod with two crossbars to make a skein called a lianradh, the English name for this tool is niddy-noddy because the frame is moved to and fro while the spinner winds the yarn.
		Hulda was particulary associated with spinners and in some areas she was beleived to prowl around the streets checking that spinners were hard at work.

		Spinners - Mighty Love - New And Improved - Pick Of The Litter - Happiness Is Being With The Spinners - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - Spinners/8
		The Spinners originally came from Detroit, and languished at Motown for most of the 60s before they scored a couple of Stevie Wonder-produced hits in 1970, with G.C. Cameron singing lead.
		Song for song, I prefer Bell's other main act, The Stylistics, but this group gets points for endurance and versatility: a couple of songs per album were sung by other Spinners, giving you a break from the falsetto.

	Nothing beats a sheep in an overcoat / Hand spinners create lucrative market for fleece au naturel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hand spinners generally prefer to buy their fleeces in a "raw" or uncleaned and unprocessed state, the better to observe and preserve the natural quality of the fibers.
		At shearing, wool growers may "skirt" or cut off the dirtiest belly and rump hair from the fleece, but aside from this bit of trimming, hand spinners purchase their wool fibers in the same state as the sheep wore them.
		Hand spinners are tactile people who prefer to touch (and tug, and rub and twist) fibers before they purchase them.

		He believes it is as just as hard to pick up the slow bowlers and it should be "one off, all off", while the people who paid $125 a ticket reckon that the world's best could squint a little bit and put on a show no matter how gloomy it gets.
		If the seamers can't bowl then the spinners shouldn't be able to bowl.

	History Of The Top by Valerie Oliver, Copyright Spintastics Skill Toys, Inc., 2002
		A skilled top spinner can then pick up the top and balance it on a paddle, tightly stretched string, or even run the top across the edge of a sword.
		Some believe that the throwing top was born from the whip top, where top spinners could play with a top requiring less strenuous activity than with the whip top.
		Other sources believe Japan to be credited for the origin of the throwing top, and although no dates or specifics are given to verify this claim, it does seem that Japan or other Northeast Asian cultures should be given credit for tops spun with a string.

	HOW TO USE THE DROP SPINDLE
		Most spinners who have been spinning for a while find that their thread becomes thinner and thinner and they can no longer make slubs, even when they want to!
		Some spinners add a squirt of hair conditioner to the last rinse to soften the wool.
		Remove the hank from it’s final rinse and remove excess water by either wrapping it in a towel and stomping on it or putting it in the spin cycle of your washing machine (you may want to put it into a lingerie bag).

	Medialunchbox - Music : The Very Best of the Spinners (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although their first album appeared in the early '60s, it was with 1975's "They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)" that the Spinners really got moving.
		But their best songs were stunning--and by the time original vocalist Philippe Wynne left the group, in 1977, they'd racked up enough successes to stuff a greatest-hits package from top to bottom.
		Atlantic's 1978 "Best of the Spinners" LP was that package, although this release augments it with later hits like "Working My Way Back to You" and "Cupid." Another anthology package, a double-CD released by Atlantic Records, packs in even more, but the essentials are all here.

	Review - THE SPINNERS: The Chrome Collection (Rhino)
		If you're fanatical about The Spinners, you probably want more of the Motown-era music than the handful provided on disc one, and you also probably want everything else you can get your hands on.
		First, it contains a lot of single versions as opposed to album cuts, and there are also some mono mixes, a few remixes, and alternate versions as well.
		The 58 page book that comes with this set is loaded with information, and not just "the story of The Spinners," which is interesting enough.
