"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.

#TheSpinners are nominated again this year to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after being nom'd in 2015. It's past time.

Many around my age first heard Mr. Bell's amazing music as kids when our parents, uncles, and aunts played vinyls or 8-tracks of songs he wrote, performed, arranged or produced. Some are still favorites to this day and are constantly in my playlist rotation. Gonna link "Betcha by Golly, Wow" by the #Stylistics and later covered by #Prince in my next post. 💔
