"Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" is a 1972 song recorded by the American R&B vocal group #TheSpinners (known as "Detroit Spinners" in the UK). It was co-written by Melvin and Mervin Steals, two songwriter brothers working for #Atlantic, who were sometimes credited as "Mystro and Lyric." It was produced by #ThomBell, recorded at Philadelphia's #SigmaSoundStudios and the house band #MFSB provided the backing. #BobbySmith sings lead through most of the song.

Continuing with the disco genre, here's one of those tracks which I thoroughly enjoyed (but never admitted so to my circle of peers).
Just make sure you've got your cane and an energy drink: this is seven and a half minutes of boogie –
The Spinners (aka Detroit Spinners; Motown Spinners), "the Rubberband Man" (1976)

Damn. This is embarrassing. George Michael is considered more valuable to music than the mighty The Spinners? Or is he more popular? Was he cuter? Sold more records? Is this about art or history or popularity or influence (clearly the Philadelphia group influenced the younger Brit) or filthy lucre? Or is this yet another manifestation of #PlantationNation's ruling ethos: #WhiteMakesRight?
You wouldn't HAVE #rockandroll without #Black artists. Period.
Someone needs to start voting for #BlackMusicians for the #RockAndRollHallOfFame or "Fame" Needs to Turn to "Shame." #MissyElliot #ATribeCalledQuest #TheSpinners

Here's who I'd vote for among this years #RockHall nominations:
#TheWhiteStripes
#WarrenZevon
#KateBush
#IronMaiden
#TheSpinners
(Were I an actual voter I'd probably have to consider things like broader importance, influence, etc – but I'm not, so this is just who I listen to the most)
