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.

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."
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. 💙
In 1973 ( the greatest year of 🎶R&b music) I saw the Spinners live for the first time. Love these guys💕 I learned happiness was being with the Spinners. Rest In Power brothers💯
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!
Who needs lyrics. Nothing better than Philippe Wynn scatting !!!!
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!
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🙏🏽🎤🎼🎹🎭🎫🎟🏆🥇✝️🛐☯️☮️

Beautifully put sir - greetings from a Spinners fanatic in London
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.
PHILIPPE WYNN WAS EVERYTHING!!!! May he continue to RIP 🙏🏽❤️
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 .

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 ❤

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!
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.
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!

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 😢
Philippe Wynne was an unbelievable talent !!!!
Mighty mighty mighty mighty mighty mighty love.
The SPINNERS have never been better than when they belt out MIGHTY LOVE ... What an Incredible Song !
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!!!!!!!!
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 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤🙏🏽❤🙏🏽
I cant get over phippie wow i never seen the spinners have so much fun

I love them. My absolute favorite group.
I grew up on these guys, The Spinners. I love this.
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.
Simply the BEST! Phillipe Wynne, always a standout.
Mr. Phillipe Wynne at his finest!! My 1st time seeing this performance. THANK YOU
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 never seen Henry have so much fun
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!

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.
so proud they performed in my country
Philippe Wynne was only known to me as Rev or Roy Abram when he told me who he was I certainly believed him as we had mutual musical friends. He always stated Phillipe Wymne died but I was looking right at him.. he sang to us and Detroit every day. He finally passed out in 22 September. After quitting Fame and fortune he became a Christian m I minister family man with daughters galore. Sang Sadie to me on my front porch. It was a blessin😢g to hear him sing. No music just his voice
RIP -the great Thom Bell 🙏🏿🙏🏿🥲

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.
Classic song❤
