The Spinners had been on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominating ballot three times before, but the fourth time proved to be the charm this year.
Chart-topping R&B vocal group the Spinners will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday, Nov. 3, after three previous appearances on the nominating ballot. The veteran vocal group, which served tenures at both Motown and Atlantic Records, enters the Rock Hall this year after three previous times on the ballot -- in 2012, 2015 and 2016.
The Rock Hall induction is not the Spinners’ first career honor. The group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1976 and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. The quintet formed in 1954 and has been known at varying times as the Detroit Spinners and the Motown Spinners.
The Spinners did tour, often supporting Marvin Gaye and other Motown acts. And the group members had other jobs at Motown, working in the record packing plant or tour managing other acts. Fambrough, meanwhile, served as chauffeur for Gordy’s mother. Teamed with Bell, and with the lead vocal triumvirate of Wynne, Fambrough and Smith, the Spinners reeled off a hit parade that left its Motown years in the dust and put the group on par with fellow hit-makers such as the O’Jays and Earth, Wind & Fire. The fertile stretch lasted into the late ‘70s, declining after Wynne left the group in 1977 and the Spinners subsequently stopped working with Bell.
