The Spinners - How Could I Let You Get Away - Live 1976
Ойын-сауық
Here's the fantastic Spinners performing live How Could I Let You Get Away, with Philippe Wynne doing impersonations of Al Green, Otis Redding, and Sam Cooke.
The Spinners rate as one of the most fantastic groups along with The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Dramatics, The OJays, The Stylistics, The Whispers, The Intruders, Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, and The Delfonics. They were apart of the golden age of classic soul groups who mesmirized us with their dances, energy, and love songs.
It's Ashame, Rubberband Man, Mighty Love, Could It Be I'm Falling In Love, I'll Be Around, Mighty Love, One of a kind Love Affair, Ghetto Child, Sadie, How Could I Let You Get Away, Then Came You, Games People Play, Love Don't Love NoBody, were among their biggest hits, making them the premier group of the 70's.

I Love the Spinners. But what I really LOVED WAS watching PHILIPI WYNN ON STAGE ‼️ HE WAS A TRUE PROFORMER IN EVERY SINCE OF THE WORD. IT'S SO UNFORTUNATE THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER AROUND.❤️
Mid to late 70's, they were as good as anybody. Beautiful FULL albums. Phillipe Wynne was a special soul, who died doing what he loved....going into the audience with his mic.
2024 and this song always takes me back to 1974 high-school days...
Simply the best of times. I saw them live in Atlanta in 1975 and became a Philippe fan forever and a day. This group was better than the Temps even though they didn't have the fame.
Management or the Spinners didn’t give Philippi Wynn the credit he deserved. He was a great performer. RIP
I've watched a bunch of these videos and I don't know how anybody could sit there and just watch. I'm jumping around just watching from my couch, especially on Philippe's riffs.
Philippe could sing the telephone book and make it sound good! I Love him and the Spinners!
Boy!! That Bobbie know he could do them steps!! He truly enjoyed it too!! RIP Bobbie!! One classy man!!
Phillipe is so underrated regardless of his ego he was talented. If I had that kind of talent it would be hard not to get a big head.
I realised I was blessed, being a teenager in the 70's, And being so lucky listening to beautiful music like this gem

Philippe Wynn one of a kind and undefeated still in 2018
My godson's dad loved the spinners, especially Phillipe Wynn. I fondly remember him bobbing his head and mimicking Phillipe's voice with a happy smile on his face. He died at a young age, but now that I am 59, I really appreciate this group and their music. RIP Mike

I would give any thing to see these groups today. Maybe in heaven. God bless them for all the memories.
He pour his heart out on this love you phippie
Sadie...Watching the Spinners perform is such a treat because they are such a musical balanced group. They provide you with tears of sadness, joy, and humor. Phillipe Wynne...I've just started following this late great recently and watching his acts on KZread and other broadcasts. I've never seen an entertainer that was able to capture an audience with his style. I've never seen a singer adlib, and rhyme with such prestige. Great entertainers are not taught they are born!!!
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS PHILLIPE WYNN DIED IN THE PRIME OF HIS YOUNG LIFE.HE LEFT A LEGACY TO US THROUGH HIS MUSIC.IT'S UP TO USTO REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES THAT HE PROVIDED US WITH HIS MUSIC.

Thank God for the dynamic writing and producing team of Gamble, Huff, Bell and Creed among others from here in Philly. We were blessed to have them record at the Philadelphia International Records studios !!! That was the shot they needed, cause Motown wasn’t pushing them for exposure or anything else for that matter
So tight!!! Love them! Love me some Philippe!
There's a quality to his voice that never leaves no matter what the material. I don't know what to call it except "enthusiasm". Especially if you just listen and don't look, he always just seems to be LOVING the act of singing.
The Spinners were a very classy and humbl;e group. One fo the greatest groups to do it.....
@gratx011 I so agree with all your comments. I, too, was a small child in the 70's and can remember hearing these songs, whether on the radio or by my mother playing the music. Thanks to TVOne and KZread for reminding us of The Spinners and many other groups. This song and many others by the Spinners are so moving and captivating that they have such a strong presence of what true music is. I hope The Spinners know how well deserved they are… Thanks again.
Saw the Spinners live 50 times.... Great.....Phillepe Wynne was the best. Could tell some stories.
These are real kings of soul...working wanting then winning legend status..blue suits with beautiful brothers rolling soul as it should be..Gold
Superb singer and group.Jim.Liverpool.
My grandmother loved the Detroit Spinners- Brings back good memories
Wow,I can remember in 72 when this album came out and my mom loved it and play it often. Amazing that some music is just timeless. Now im 52, and this song just played on the radio in the car; so I came home and you tube'd' it,just to hear it again! Spinners, O' Jays,Main Ingredients, Isleys,EWF....Some of the best music everrrrrr

AMAZING, AMAZING AMAZING!!! Phillipe can pay tribute so gracefully to Al, Sam and Otis with the same melody of How Could I Let You Get Away without missing a beat. Phillipe was a stone cold showman and about thirty years ahead of his time. If Phillipe were around in the video and later social media he would be a bona fide master. I remember when he died of that heart attack about a year after Marvin died. The Rubber Band Man lives!!

THIS MONTH IN MUSIC HISTORY: 45 years ago this month (April 1973), the Spinners released their self-titled album (#1 US Billboard R&B album charts; #14 pop album charts). This was the group's 1st album since switching record labels from Motown to Atlantic, and their 1st with songwriter/producer Thom Bell. [04/2018]
Pure class! Love always...."in the middle of the room...have no time 2 count my sheep today"

Much is made about Philippe's split with the Spinners - but my God, just watch the man: He was *consumed* with the Spirit !!! Everything he did went beyond mere entertainment. Philippe testified. He believed in what he sang, he felt what he sang, and after he was done, you left reconciled, never to sin again !!!

Philippe Wynn may very well be the greatest improvisational singer of all time. In every live performance you see of his, he always incorporates some genuine, unique conversational-type ad libs. He isn't widely enough known. I guess part of that is due to truly great unison in which the Spinners performed and recorded...such great harmonies. I still believe he should be more recognized for his unique talent and outstanding voice...one of the best ever.

you just can't get it better than this... Not only did the late, great Phillipe Wynne bring it, but he brought Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Rev. Al Green as well! His voice alone is original, but then to bring those brothers along... I truly miss them (except for Al, he's still with us, thank God)

That was amazing! One of the best performances by the Spinners I have seen. I love them, they are definitely underrated. I don't think a lot people realize how many great songs they released. I can't believe they still haven't made it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Philippe'!!! Talented man was he. RIP
2020 Covid 19 stay home and listening the good music.
One of my favorites from the Spinners. As a kid of the 70's, i will never forget the Spinners with Philippe Wynne in the group. This song, Sadie, and Rubber band man are my favorites. Just about everything the Spinners did in the 70's i loved. I remember going on road trips with my family, or cookouts we would listen to these great groups on the radio.
Synchronized soulful singing by the Spinners....so so smooth

Wish I had the pleasure of seeing this group live,, with, Bro. Philippe Wynne leading this song.
One of my fave R&B groups - and one of my fave tunes.
Billy Preston and the Spinner,s are Some of the Fantastic Singers in the Era back Growing up man I really miss those times
Tough! This great soulful singer died performing on stage in Oakland, CA. Love this song.
I was a small kid when these great groups were around in the '70s...Thanks to the technology of KZread, and other broadcasts I have a greater appreciation for the Temps, Four Tops, Jacksons, Earth Wind & Fire, The Gap Band, Lakeside, The Isley Brothers, and so many other groups I may have forgotten...I would like to think I've seen them all that are available...I just feel that the most underrated group had to be the Spinners...Their songs were so meaningful: such as It's A Shame...continued...
God bless you for posting this.
This is sooo good but breaks my heart to watch.
Love it! Paying homage to his brothers in soul instead of hating on them.

Hard to believe I don't remember these old songs. I graduated in 1976 - ad I thought I was jamming, but this one seemed to have slipped my mind. I guess I was distracted by something. LOL!
Ive heard his voice on my AM/FM clock radio in the cold mornings as a kid, all thru the seventies riding around in my old beat up car riding around ...and it was so warm and soothing and wonderful...now by the magic of KZread and the inter webs (haha) it is so great to put a face to this great soulful voice and the super group.

How can you NOT enjoy this? Tight vocals, choreography, showmanship, smooth harmonies... How can people compare todays 'singers' and the concerts of now to what was. I think I'd prefer :45 minutes of this to 3 hours of Chris B., Dr.Ake, or the "Pied Piper of Love". But that's just me - Opinions from an 'Old Head'.
BEAUTIFUL!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
