The Spinners - Working My Way Back To You (1979)

Back in the 70's there was a great Soul group called The Spinners! I now bring you them with a live performance of Working My Way Back To You from 1979 and their album of the same name... A great song with a nice beat and I am sure it will bring back some good memories!!!

About Working My Way Back to You:

About The Spinners:
The Spinners are an American rhythm and blues vocal group that formed in Ferndale, Michigan, in 1954. They enjoyed a string of hit singles and albums during the 1960s and 1970s, particularly with producer Thom Bell. The group continues to tour, with Henry Fambrough as the only original member.

The group is also listed as the Detroit Spinners and the Motown Spinners, due to their 1960s recordings with the Motown label. These other names were used in the UK to avoid confusion with a British folk group also called The Spinners. On June 30, 1976, they received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2015, they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Music critic Robert Christgau has called the Spinners "a renowned show group whose supersmooth producer inhibits improvisation" Read more on WIkipedia.com.

LYRICS:

he Spinners - Working My Way Back To You

Working my way back to you, babe, with a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe, and the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' ev'ry day

When you were so in love with me, I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too, but how I cried over losin' you
See me down and out, but I ain't about to go living my life without you
For every day I made you cry, I'll pay
And girl, till the day that I die, I'll keep

Working my way back to you, babe, with a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe, and the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' ev'ry day

I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
But if I'd been a man in reality, you'd still be here, babe, lovin' me
Now the nights are long and lonely, and I ain't too strong, babe
I just miss you so
And you're too proud, you won't give in
But when I think about all I could win, I keep

Working my way back to you, babe, with a burning love inside
Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe, and the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' ev'ry day

Written by: Denny Randell, Sandy Linzer

Enjoy!
