Spinners, The - Living A Little, Laughing A Little Lyrics

what's behind the smile?

Bobby and Phillipe can't go wrong

I think Henry carried this song....very strong performance...

Childhood brought me here.

early '75...this should have gone a lot higher on the charts

Classic!

Living just a little laughing just a little ain’t easy is for sure! The Spinners said a mouthful!😁.

OMG Tell it like it is AMEN! This beautiful classic just move your soul in the right direction do you agree Gwendolyn ? When real music speaks for itself timeless indeed 4REAL!!! Ode skool music soothes the soul AMEN!!! A trip down memory lane

For real lyric that is life related. Nothing fake about it.

The Spinners Were The Best Story Tellers In Their Songs. ❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🔥

This was one of my favorite songs by the Spinners deep lyrics.

I Want To Laugh Sometime !

This Song Is Real ! People Just Don't Know Or Care If You're Hurting

My mom used to play this when I was a kid. I miss her tremendously. Now I'm crying.

What a great song Philipe sung his heart out on this song.

Elvis costello quotes this song when he's singing "Ailson," or atleast he used to. A big fan.

Best damn song I’ve ever heard!

This is one soulful jam.

This is a Spinners Classic one of my Boys called me over at his Dorm in College to hear this sound by the Spinners in 1974 what memories.

💕💕💕💔💕

We love you Phillips Rip 💕☺️

YES I AGREE THE SPINNERS,
THE WHISPERS ARE THE GENUINE CLASSIC R&B

A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE
AND GREAT
"PHILIPE SOUL WYNNE"

THIS MAN HAS A WAY WITH

WORDS AND VERY INTERESTING
THE WAY HE DROPS THOSE LYRICS

SINGING THE TRUTH WITH CONVICTION
LIKE THE WAY IT IS

This is what's missing in today's music, no heart felt lyrics. Sad or happy, in love or just lost (break-up) your love. No music you can relate to for expression!!!! Today's music has no life no spirit no character!

Henry Fambrough and Phillippe Wynne puts it down clear

The Artist's of the Clowns!! You don't see this very often!!

Henry & Phillipe together, classic!

This is my big bro's favorite group and i can see why they never made a bad record always in tune ad-libs and all always a message of positivity and uplifting grooves fast and slow not easy to do so hats off to one of the elite groups of our time Peace 🙏🤜🤛

To my family..

Beautiful song. Very thought- provoking, for all of us. At this age, I can truly relate.

Been listing to the Detroit spinners since they were the Motown spinners and they have come a long way .Since they joined the Atlantic record company they went big well done boys

OMG I'm glad I grew up with type of music in my life real music for the soul AMEN!! Still listenin how about June 18 2019 A trip down memory lane good ode days 4SURE!!!CAN I GET A AMEN??

Do you really understand what the words mean do u

Beautiful job on creating this video! Live, Love, and Laugh...Even on days when it's not easy. ❤️

One of my best friend growing up live the mighty love.

I WILL NEVER BEND , CREASE , FOLD !!

True it an't easy.living and laughing.

OMG You just hit a homerun with those comments TRUE DAT!!This beautiful classic is in its own class of it own do you agree? A trip down memory lane good ode days 4SURE!!!Still listenin how about June 17 2019

Any guesses about why Henry Frambrough didn't get more leads? Actually has a nice voice.

But we learn to live a little more and before you know it we're smiling. It's not always easy but it's necessary. It gets better.....

A great hit in 1974 I remember hearing  this  in the College  School Dorms of 1974. What a great song by the Spinners.

This is a Spinners song that had to grow on me. But I'm glad it did. beautiful lead vocals and a message that is truly relatable today.

OMG This beautiful classic just move your soul in the right direction do you agree? This is what true talent sounds like AMEN!! A trip down memory lane 4SURE!!! Still listenin how about May 19 2019

This group was so underrated, every songs they put out was beautifully done.

That voice was heaven sent.... unbelievable artist

What can I say? Spinners are the best , living just a little amen

My Boys 💙

Henry leads on this song

Wow!! This sung is deep

Keep spinnin 💫The Specialist 😇

I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT, I THINK W/0 THIS MUSIC. I GREW UP ON SINGING THIS. MARTINA PATRICIA GUEST 👄💋👄💋

Life is so amazing with indelible memories and music.

Phillipe was good but they didn't miss his ass y'all keep forgetting about Bobby fool and the spinners period Mr orange

Who the hell would give this a thumbs down Some people just arnt real.

Thiis is so true a bad jam

This is an absolutely masterful arrangement by Thom Bell. Henry Fambrough’s soft as cloud vocals balanced by Phillipe Wynne’s soulfulness. And when Phillipe cuts up with the ad libs I’m just through. To say nothing about the lyrics. Hmm, hmm, hm.

SING IT!!!

Beautiful... Very good

One of the greatest songs ever!

OMG I agree with you all the way this beautiful classic is in its own class of its own do you agree? MEMORIES WOW!

Some old school real men singing about men's mental health, this song is about a man who is fighting on even though it's killing him, even though he's depressed he lives and laughs and it ain't easy 😔 the words say it all, God bless The Spinners ♥

I like when Philippe get that musical Holy Ghost at 4:06, he one of the best ever at bringing a song home at the end

OMG A BLAST FROM THE PAST TIMELESS WHEN REAL MUSIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF NO SKOOL LIKE ODE SKOOL MUSIC 4REAL! ! AMEN! !

Sometimes you feel like ya riding on a cloud, for cryin out loud things go wrong. The next minute, next hour next day hey things ain't the same way no no no no no no. Bro, it ain't easy, let hear say can I hear you say do it one more time for me, my brother was in misery, but, thank God he is free, he's smiling again he's smilin he's smilin.....oh just try do it......

This song just brought a 6'5" man to tears. Didn't think it would get inside me like that.

Sing, they sing, and I know most times we concentrate on the vocas. This song, man, the band just take me backwhen I was small boy growing up in Swaziland, Southern Africa, being able to hide in the maize field. Even though, they couldn't see me, those instruments blasting from my uncle's blaupunkt sterio record player, the one you would mistake for a bookcase. Thanks Multiplicityme 2too.

THE GREATEST MEN THAT
EVER LIVED!!!!

MY FAVORITE GROUP I'M MY ERA....

I always wanted to hear Billy Hendersen
interviewed but he's gone too. RIP, Billy

<(-_-)> Message in the music. #LISTENUP

Thom Bell,Linda Creed and Phillipe Wynn,Bobby Jackson and the rest of the crew. The Motown sound Spinners and T.S.O.P. put together by two masters of the Philly sound Mr. Bell & Ms. Creed. Magic!!! nuff said

No body adlib like Phillip Wynn I mean nobody!He also wasn't too bad of a singer. This group definitely should be in the hall of fame. Just ain't no Justice!

PHILIPPE WYNN HAD A MAGICAL QUALITY IN EVERY VERSE AND LYRIC

if you don't have a soul,you get one when you hear this song......

mr wynn was a spinner and forever he was a deep soul of soul music

I remember when this came out. I had lost 2 mothers then I lost my father @15 and that is exactly how I felt.

Oh my goodness! That is a lot. I am very sorry. I just loss my nephew in a tragic apartment fire this week and my father and uncle before this. This song helps today.

Lost both my husband and mother in 2015. Thankful that they both had great lives!

I love this song and adore the Spinners,

"No, no, no... Livin' in this mean world, ooohhh it ain't easy..." Ain't that the honest truth. This song always gives me goose bumps but I always feel better after hearing it. Such an uplifting melody. I was in my mid-20's when this song came out and I've never grown tired of it through all these years. One of my all-time Spinners favorites.

Happy. To hear from you s...butler.keep in touch.go spinners..

Rest in peace my brother Donald..he turned me on to the spinners...

One of the best albums the spinners ever put out.

Jimmie Perryman Tell it like it is this beautiful classic is in its own class of its own do you agree Jimmie?Still Listening April 301 2018 I'm a ode skool junkie can't have it no other WAY! !

This use to be a favorite at a lounge I used to frequent, now long gone. When this song came on the juke box, all the singers in the bar (there were many), would sing the chorus: "Living Just a Little, Laughing Just a Little Ain't Easy, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha."

lee king I know that's right this beautiful classic just moves your soul in the right direction do you agree Lee King?

This is one of my favorite songs

Neicy Williams mine too but, I love all the Spinners songs.

Laugh Everyone at the clown

I'm in misery ...one day I'll be free.... I'll been smiling again

Hang on...it gets better. it does

They’re lyrics from the song Stanley!

Bill Ross....yesssssss

God is with you. He sits high and looks low. BELIEVE THAT!!!

I JUST RECALL WHAT I REALLY ENJOYED ABOUT THE SPINNERS
THE LYRICS AND SONGS ARE ALIKE THOSE GREAT & AMAZING

MUSIC SONGWRITERS & MUSIC PRODUCERS OF GAMBLE & THE

LATE & GREAT LEON HUFF DUE TO MOST OF THEIR RECORDING

ARTIST ALWAYS HAD A POSITIVE MESSAGE TO DELIVER IN THEIR

SONG & THAT'S WHAT I LEARN
TO APPRECIATE MORE GOOD R&B CLASSICS ALONG W/

THE & C&W AS WELL TOO
W/ THE JAZZ & THE GOSPEL WHERE MOST OUR ROOTS

ORIGINATED AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE & APPRECIATE MUSIC OF ALL CULTURAL, I NEVER

UNDERSTOOD THE ACID ROCK
SO I STRAYED AWAY FROM THAT
KIND BUT "TO EACH HIS OWN"

FROM THE INFAMOUS SONG OF
MUSIC HE PRODUCED FOR THIS
GROUP CALLED "FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY"

Thom Bell & Linda Creed penned an absolute monster hit w/ this 1.

So TRUE TODAY!!, more than EVER!!

Nia Imani-Diarra OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DAT! ! ! Still Listening April 30 2018

the late great Philippe Wynne collapsed on stage in an Oakland nightclub doing what he does best singing and dancing rest in peace Philippe

this song has a lot of meaning the young people of the day wouldn't even recognize what is saying oh what music was then I love The Spinners

The Spinners were the Best Male Group Alive Back Then ❤️

One of my favorite groups from the 70's.

Play it.

True song it is still a jam

This was my jam.

Bell and Creed are absolutely “Unsung” as composers; certainly one of the best teams of all time

The Spinners always make me emotional Sadie is so real and deep They should have music as mandatory in schools This is American Art Soulful vocals are moving That's it Its perfect This music's so moving it makes me think of everyone I've lost Too many

I forgot about this song. It ranks right up there with Sadie & Love Don't Love Nobody.
The Spinners were never the same without Philippe Wynn, the coolest soul man and entertainer of all time. May he rest in peace forever in Soul Heaven although I'm sure he's dancing and singing his heart out. Thanks for the memories.
