Spinners - Happiness Is/Spinners 8 SOUL | FLAC | CUE | LOG | COVER | 463MB | 75:25 Atlantic 1976 & 1978 Цитата: With dance music driving everything else off the charts, Creed and Bell responded with the seven-minute, irresistably cheesy "The Rubberband Man," which may be the group's best known hit. Otherwise, though, it's the usual lush, midtempo romantic soul, and compositionally a big dropoff from the previous discs: the same themes ("You're All I Need In Life"), familiar-sounding melodies ("Toni My Love"). The big counterexample is Jefferson/Hawes/Simmons's gorgeous "Four Hands In The Fire"; they also contributed two lesser tunes, while Life co-wrote "Now That We're Together" and M. Burton came up with the flat "The Clown." Meanwhile, Spinners 8 is the first album post-Wynne, and John Edwards does his best to sing in the same high register. No change in Bell's approach, but he has trouble finding memorable songs, aside from the memorably grating "I'm Gonna Getcha"... The single "Heaven on Earth (So Fine)," by Casey James, isn't much, but there are three standout tracks: B. Lamb's fast "Back In The Arms Of Love," James/Thom Bell/Leroy Bell's medium "Easy Come, Easy Go," and best of all, James and Leroy Bell's slow, anthemic "Baby I Need Your Love (You're The Only One)." Jefferson and Simmons wrote just one song, "I'm Tired Of Giving." --David Bertrand Wilson, WARR.org | THE SPINNERS: Philippe Wynne - Lead Bobbie Smith - Tenor Henry Fambrough - Baritone Pervis Jackson - Bass John Edwards - Lead Bill Henderson - Tenor TRACKLISTING: 01.
