Their single, "Mighty Love" became a major hit during the group's peak years, helping cement the vocal group's reputation as one of the defining soul acts of the 1970s.
"Mighty Love" climbed the charts in 1974, earning the top spot on Billboard's 100 Hot Soul Singles and becoming one of the group's most memorable singles and a staple of classic soul playlists.
"When I found them, they were on Atlantic Records, and Atlantic Records was going to get rid of them," recalled Bell in a 2006 interview with NPR. The record label asked Bell which of their artists he'd like to work with, and to Bell, it was a no-brainer. "They sent me the list of artists that they had, I happened to see, the very last page, [...] I saw S-P-I-N. That's it. It was going off the page. I said, I wonder, are they those Spinners that I used to play piano for in the Uptown Theater?"
Bell's instincts were spot on. After working with the group, The Spinners went on to release a string of major hits including "I'll Be Around," "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" and "Then Came You," the latter of which topped the Billboard Hot 100.
More than five decades after its release, "Mighty Love" remains a shining example of the smooth, orchestral soul that defined the era and a reminder of why The Spinners remain one of the most beloved vocal groups in R&B history.
