Agree. Another great song, Could It Be ImFalling In Love, and, many more.
As Eddie said 'Could It Be I'm Falling in Love' and this one you posted are probably their two signature songs. The Spinners had a deep quality discog. Great group!

a tune over 60 years old...but still fresh as a daisy today and rocking damn good
this song popped into my head just now...not sure if its been posted here
Happy Fathers Day/Grandfathers Day to those of you this applies. In honor of this day a couple beauties to listen to
The Winstons- Color Him Father. Such a beautiful composition from 1969. I've posted this one before I'm sure.
Luther Vandross (the GOAT)- Dance With My Father. Even though its about a father lost its truly an ode to how important a father is to a young son. This one is a tear jerker for me.

I've been on such an 80's listening tear recently, both hip hop and r&b/soul. The album 'Imagination' by The Whispers is one of the greatest of the 80's r&b/soul releases. This was track #5 from the album (one of my favorite tracks from them). A musical masterpiece.
i always liked the Winstons with this tune...kinda wimpy but soulfull
wasnt familiar with the LV tune.....yep a tear jerker
solid vocals...great horn work...............but Dougie i cant lie..........i prefer the 2 minute tunes.......
The Soul Stirrers had some amazing lead vocalists: R.H. Harris, Sam Cooke, and Johnnie Taylor.
According to Wikipedia, R.H Harris quit the group in 1950 because of what he viewed as the crookedness of the business, and immoral behavior by musicians he saw on the "Gospel Highway" touring circuit.
I find 2 minutes too short. It always leaves me wanting more. I think 3:30-4:00 long is optimal.
