#2/Pop - top 5 R&B/Soul (someone look up R&B history)
Now here's one song that has become a big hit back in '76. Pretty catchy tune.

i always liked the spinners. pretty good tune, this, although it's one of those rare cases where the short version is preferable. the long version is too repetitive.

Good song, good group. Their "I'll Be Around" is one of my all-time favorites.

I love this song... much better than the current unrelated hit of the same title by T.I. :)

I wasn't aware that the Spinners did it. It has had a bit of a comeback due to it being played in the OfficeMax commericials.

No no no, it was an R&B number one! :) I think I'm going to read their story on this song in The Book Of R&B Hits, as I have already read in the Billboard Book Of Number Two Hits. |

I never got tired of seeing it 'cause it was really funny. I'm not so crazy about the new Christmas 'Rubberband Man' ads. |

I really appreciate your research on that. But after looking up in the Billboard Top 40 Hits book awhile back, it read that the song was #2 on the pop singles chart |

One of their best songs. Classic 70s R&B/soul.

I prefer a few others over this, but I like it.
This was one of their last hits before Philippe Wynne left.

I like it. It's not so bad. My all time fave song from them is "Working My Way Back To You".
