Another Motown artist has passed, Bobbie Smith of The Spinners. He was the group's main lead singer on many of their hits pre-dating the late Phillipe Wynne. There is only one original Spinner left alive now.

There's nowhere to go''

Rest peacefully, Bobbie.

One of my fav groups. Just heard it on the radio, sad. RIP

Sad news indeed, be at peace kind soul.

Aww...man! R.I.P Bobbie! I saw them last year at Yoshi's in Oakland. It was great fun reliving the songs that I grew up on. They were quite entertaining.
