My kind of music from beginning to end ❤.

Love the song! Hey, was orchestra playing this song?!

It really took me ALMOST LOOSING MY WIFE TO LEARN THE MEANING THE REAL MEANING OF THIS SONG. REAL TALK

Nothing beats a great story of life when as time goes by that that story sang like this relevant to this day.

Song is right

Sing it Filipe, Thom Bell could write his ass off...such a true song 4 those of us that give & have given all of our heart soul spirit mind & body... " it take a fool 2 learn that luv don't luv nobody" ...

*my Mom used to listen to this song and shake her head...rest in love Mom🥀*

Everyone says i have and old soul🤷🤷🤷i love the oldies,this is real music❤❤

He should have sung all gospel songs

The Spinners’ “Love Don’t Love Nobody” was one of the finest soul records of the 1970s, and still sounds to me like one of the greatest deep-soul ballads of all time. It was written by Charles Simmons and Joseph Jefferson, whose credits appeared on many Philadephia records of the era; the arrangement and production came from the extremely great Thom Bell, who moulded the hits of the Delfonics and the Stylistics as well those of the Spinners. It also has a lead vocal that shows what was lost to the art of soul singing when Philippé Wynne died in 1984 at the age of 43, after suffering a heart attack on stage in Oakland, Calfornia.

Wynne could decorate a song with wonderfully inventive ornamentation which, by contrast with the work of the narcissists of today’s so-called R&B, never called undue attention to itself but was always in the service of the song, the arrangement, and the production. In that respect he was the peer of Ronald Isley and Teddy Pendergrass. And he was at his exalted best on “Love Don’t Love Nobody”: seven minutes and 13 seconds of soul heaven.

The record begins with Bell’s piano, discreetly shadowed by a bass guitar and vibes, quietly commanding attention. There’s gospel in the cadences, but also a grave delicacy in Bell’s keyboard voicings and a pensive elegance in his touch. It’s the sound of introspection, even the sound of sadness itself, setting Wynne up for his entrance with that heart-rending opening verse: “Sometimes a girl will come and go / You reach for love, but life won’t let you know / That in the end you’ll still be loving her / But then she’s gone, you’re all alone…”

As the track builds, Wynne adds his characteristic inventions to the song but firmly resists the temptation to overdo it. He’s listening to Bell’s arrangement, so spare, so subtly sophisticated as it adds strings and backing voices, and he’s making himself a part of it, even when he jams over the long fade.

One other thing. I was doing some remixing at Sigma Sound in 1974 when I fell into conversation with an engineer, and asked him about Thom Bell. When I told him how much I admired “Love Don’t Love Nobody”, he said that he’d worked on that session a year or so earlier. He told me that the rhythm track had been done in a single take, and that Bell had finished it in tears. That knowledge doesn’t make me listen to it in a different way, but perhaps it does help to explain the very deep connection that it can make.


Richard Williams

Then words that he's saying come straight from the heart and I'll break you down cuz Love don't love nobody people say they love you but people play games with love Glee singing it he said the truth

Saturday jam we listened to while cleaning the house

YASS, me and my Mom's jam, cleaning early on a Saturday morning... great song!

1985 I was born but my adopted parents were ole school n it rubbed off on me fasho. I prefer the good stuff to this bs they got out today. Guess imma old soul fr💪🏿💯

True word's.

My high school days

Beautiful song!

I’m here in 2020 loving this song! Who’s with me?

I was born in November 8, 1985 and my POP’s was born in 1955. Every Friday through Sunday my Pops will play his old school Music with the vinyl records and big speakers loud, lol and say son” you don’t know nothing about this” I miss those days of my Childhood. Every time my Pops and Mom argue he will play Barry white to make up with her. The soul music from the late 60’s and and the 70’s are the greatest, one love peace ✌🏾

Philippe had one of the great gospel vocal stylings of all-time.

"I ain't much of a rapper", "You can't color a thought and sure can't touch an emotion"

Love ❤️ hurts sometimes

Same here....1977 Baby!

Is it me or when the song first started....did it sound like the End of The Road by Boys II Men

Maybe since this was first, end of the road sounds like this

Music like this makes you cry it out instead of killing yourself it hurt so bad to learn that no matter how much you still love who you love your love cant make them still love you

Gimme Something Real, Ashford & Simpson, Everybody says the Fool, Main Ingredient

It will be alright I'll just. Keep be right on

Who is still jamming this in 2020???
Me that's who!!! Who else out there is still jamming this in 2020???

This was my mom favorite song rip Delores Turner missing u so much

Dam, just thinking about the world I lived in as a child, when this kind of music was out, doesn't exist anymore. The people you loved as a child, alot of them have passed on. Dam, I really miss a simpler time in this world, that seems like ages ago.

2020 Love don't love no one

This is when singing was an art and the lyrics were meaningful.

This started off with a piano, and then added a drummer and a vocalist and finishes with a symphony orchestra. This IS THE REAL DEFINITION OF A collaboration of love & music.

The good ole days. Songs that helped parents raise their kids.

Spinners along with Phillipe Wynne are respectfully in my top 5 greatest of all time for groups and male vocalists.

Love don't love nobody... It takes a fool to learn..

Awesome song. Loved this guy. Back in the day the music told you the truth. All you had to do was listen. I appreciate these songs more now than when I was kid.

I feel you. Mr.Avery

These kids today have no memories like we had I feel for them .

2020 and on and on and on

One of my favorites the spinners I was in the military when this cut aired so many memories and good friends.

Love don't love nobody I got love for me

Great music never die......Its alive folks

Good music. Iam crying taking about my mother and grandmother. They gone. Bring back so many memories. Thank you for the soul.

It ages like fine wine, It just keeps getting better and better. 2020

2020 ! Even if you feel that those days are over !!! This is still the Jam !! Play it for the youngsters !!!

born 1956 still listening 2020

I been learn

Listening to this music says it all!! See I lost my wife Robbie to cancer on December 2nd, 2016 two days shy of our 29th anniversary. Last year I started dating, and fell in love so hard. Helped her emotionally when she lost her son unexpectedly. Now all of a sudden she just wants to be friends. It's difficult when you love so hard. Also at this time my youngest child left for college so I'm dealing with the dreaded empty nest syndrome. So my YouTube family any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

The Spinners Live album from the Latin Casino is one of the best albums out there period!

2020...we are still here

those of us who grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s experienced something that our current generation has'nt. we were there when real music was being produced and was sung from the heart. after years of oppression and heartache this was our outlet. times were not that great back then as we had to deal with blatant racism, unemployment and a sense of hopelessness, but the music, the music helped us thru those times and the words were so powerful to listen to, even today. that era will be never be outdone because the youngsters havent experienced or lived thru the suffering that we and our parents did.

My becoming grown for real song. ❤❤❤

Blacks before the 1970's had to be the children of God, they created so many inventions, sang so many wonderful loving songs, and endured so much pain with strength and unified grace. They would not know most of us today!
