Review

The Spinners' "2nd Time Around," released in 1970, stands as a significant chapter in their musical journey, marking their sophomore album and their final release with the legendary Motown Records. This record bathes in R&B and soul vibes, effortlessly blending upbeat tracks with more mellow moments. The harmonies are pristine, capturing the true essence of the group's versatility.

Stevie Wonder's magic touch is felt in the hit "It's a Shame," which skyrocketed to the U.S. Pop top-twenty and R&B top-ten. Other gems like "I've Got to Find Myself a Brand New Baby," "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music," and "My Lady Love" shine through. With production by heavyweights like Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, and Stevie Wonder himself, the album offers a dynamic and richly textured sound.

Historically, "2nd Time Around" marked the end of an era with Motown before the Spinners moved to Atlantic Records, setting the stage for future triumphs. Despite its modest commercial performance, reaching #199 on the Billboard 200 and #46 on the R&B charts, this album remains a cherished part of their legacy, showcasing the vocal brilliance and production finesse of the period. - Kimberly
