Not exactly my genre but they had some catchy dittys.

I just heard “Rubberband Man” last night on an Italian crime show of all places.

So many hits! Just to name a few off the top of my head:

The RR HOF has become over-politicized with so-so acts in and great ones like The Spinners snubbed over and over again

Thanks for the article post.

Growing up a few miles away in a different suburb outside of Detroit we took for granted the many hit groups locally that went on to the national fame and chart ascent.

Great hits and 5 gold albums in a row——quite an accomplishment with the competition for air time so fierce then.

ahahaha! The first thing that came to mind was sign spinners and I thought yeah, some are pretty darn good. Maybe an Olympic sport? They do have Curling after all.

Took a minute but the brain finally turned on—I love The Rubberband Man! They have my vote.
