Six time Grammy-nominated group The Spinners have been named part of the 2023 Class of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. The Spinners were an influential Soul groups of the 1970’s, helping to create the foundation for The Sound of Philadelphia and are well–known for their string of harmonic hits produced by Thom Bell. Those include tracks like “I’ll Be Around,” “Ghetto Child,” and “The Rubber Band Man,” as well as “Then Came You” featuring Dionne Warwick, all released during their time recording for Atlantic Records.

Henry Fambrough, founding member of The Spinners shares:

This has been a lifelong dream, I never imagined back in Ferndale, when we all started in 1954, that we’d be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I do wish my original guys were around to celebrate this with me, but I’m happy to share this with my current bandmates CJ, Jessie, Ronnie, and Marvin. We’re so grateful for this acknowledgement, I really believe that everything happens in succession, at the right time.
