The first LP I ever bought with my own money as a 13 year old living in rural Wisconsin was the Spinners first LP on Atlantic. Still have it 50 years later and still love the Thom Bell sound. R.I.P.

Dan, what a great piece. Your knowledge and passion about music is truly astounding. Like you, when I hear Rubberband Man I have to get up and dance.

Ahh yes, that moment we were all waiting for on The Midnight Special...when The Spinners reached into their jacket pockets & broke out THE RUBBER BANDS! Hell Yeah! RIP Thom Bell. Thanks for the remembrance.
