"Put Us Together" by Spinners

Hailing from Detroit, The Spinners were active on the charts from the 60s through the 80s. They racked up so many hits in the 70s they ranked as the 26th most successful artist of the decade. Some of their most memorable songs include "I'll Be Around" (#3 in 1972), "Then Came You" (#1 in 1974, a duet with Dionne Warwick), "The Rubberband Man" (#2 in 1976), and "Cupid/I've Loved You For A Long Time" (#2 in 1980).

The Spinners saw their final chart appearance in 1983 when "Funny How Time Slips Away" stalled at #67. Their 1985 album, "Lovin' Feelings," failed to yield any hits, but I think they were robbed. "Put Us Together" had all the makings of a comeback.
