In 1968, the group was formed while all members were in college at Tuskegee Institute. After being discovered by Berry Gordy, the Commodores went on to sell over 60 million records for Motown. With hits like "Machine Gun" and "Sail On", The Commodores became proven artists. The Commodores aren't just any group. They have staying power.

The Spinners are among the most iconic and enduring groups in the classic soul pantheon. With a towering legacy spanning over six decades, The Spinners enjoy universal appeal owing to a classic catalog of songs that have earned their place in the Great American Songbook.

The group's classic lineup - Henry Fambrough, Billy Henderson, Pervis Jackson, Bobbie Smith, and Philippe Wynne - epitomized The Sound of Philadelphia. Thom Bell, the architect of the group's sound, deployed their signature harmonic blend and compelling lead vocals, to channel the highs and lows of romance and heartbreak into a catalog of classic hits. The collaboration with Bell kicked off in stellar fashion with "I'll Be Around", which topped out at #3 on the Billboard  Top 100 charts. The Spinners maintained residency atop the Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary Charts throughout the 1970s and early 80s, with smash singles like "I'll Be Around", "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love", "Then Came You", "The Rubberband Man" and many more - earning six Grammy nominations, 18 Platinum and Gold Albums, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and selling millions of records sold worldwide along the way.
