The Spinners during their '70s heyday : Henry Fambrough, Bobby Smith, Pervis Jackson, Billy Henderson and Philippé Wynne.And while the current touring lineup of the Spinners doesn’t include any original members from their first recordings in 1961 , or the ‘70s hitmaking machine from nearly half a century ago, they keep the catalog and the memories alive.
But even if the live set list is almost all songs of yesteryear, Moss says it’s important to stay creative. “We’ve been talking about doing a [new album] since 2014, but our touring schedule just wouldn’t let us do it. We couldn’t get the material quite right,” Moss says. “The opportunity actually came with COVID and it was a blessing in disguise. We had a great producer in Preston Glass and he and his guys wrote some great material. It was such an honor to do it with Henry.
Moss adds that portions the current Spinners’ dance moves comes directly from the source: Famed Motown Records in-house dancer/choreographer Cholly Atkins, who taught it to Fambrough, who then passed it down to the current lineup.Like the Jackson 5/Jacksons, the Spinners' early recording was done for the Motown label .

However, using a technique called data sonification, a recent college graduate has converted the visible light given off by the elements into audio, creating unique, complex sounds for each one. Today, the researcher reports the first step toward an interactive, musical periodic table.
