The Detroit Spinners – "20 Golden Classics"

The Detroit Spinners – 20 Golden Classics

20 Golden Classics is an essential retrospective of the early career of The Spinners, released under their original name, The Detroit Spinners. Long before their string of Atlantic Records hits in the 1970s, the group built their reputation at Motown, recording a wealth of soulful, harmony-rich performances that have since become favourites with Motown and Northern Soul fans alike.

This collection showcases the group's smooth vocal blend, heartfelt performances, and impeccable songwriting, capturing the transition from early 1960s R&B into the sophisticated soul sound that would later make them international stars. While their later hits such as I'll Be Around and Could It Be I'm Falling In Love brought worldwide fame, these earlier recordings reveal the foundations of one of soul music's finest vocal groups.

The compilation includes their breakthrough Motown hit It's A Shame, co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder, alongside gems including I'll Always Love You, Together We Make Such Sweet Music, That's What Girls Are Made For, O-O-H Child, For All We Know, Bad Bad Weather (Till You Come Home), and Message From A Blackman. Together, the tracks highlight the group's rich harmonies and timeless Detroit soul sound.

A must-have for collectors of Motown, classic soul, and Northern Soul, 20 Golden Classics is a wonderful introduction to The Detroit Spinners' formative years and an excellent companion to their later Atlantic recordings.
