Not sure what to say?

We followed the spinners for all these years and continue to feel blessed for their wonderful music and enjoyment. Just remember that sorrow may come at night, but joy comes in the morning. Bless all.

RIP One of my favorite groups

I’m from England & only discovered the Spinners a few years ago. Can’t believe how awesome their songs are. I immediately said “who’s the great lead singer?” Their music has travelled far & wide & will continue spreading happiness & just uplifting people. Thank you very much Bobbie Smith for your brilliant contribution to music. Your legacy continues to touch new people everyday.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear this. I love the Spinners one of my favorite R&B groups of the 70"s, I fell in love with the song It's ashame, and it became my anthem. Plus all of the other songs. RIP Bobbie, whenever I hear a song by The Spinners, I will always think of you.

I didn't know you had left, but I suspected by now you could have. Thanks so very much for your wonderful music..

Sorry For Your Loss!
