The Spinners are an American rhythm and blues vocal group that formed in Ferndale, Michigan, United States, in 1954. They enjoyed a string of hit singles and albums during the 1960's and 1970's, particularly with producer Thom Bell. The group continues to tour, with Henry Fambrough as the only original member.
The group is also listed as the Detroit Spinners and the Motown Spinners, due to their 1960's recordings with the Motown label. These other names were used in the UK to avoid confusion with a British folk group also called The Spinners. On June 30th, 1976, they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2015, they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
The Spinners made their one time appearance at the 1980 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and they sang "Cupid" on "The Lunar Moth" float.
