The Spinners are an American soul music vocal group, active for over 50 years, and with a long run of classic hits especially during the 1970s. The original members were Billy Henderson, Henry Fambrough, Pervis Jackson, C. P. Spencer, and James Edwards. They called themselves The Domingoes. However James Edwards lasted only a few weeks. He was replaced by Bobby Smith, who sang lead on most of the Spinners' early records (and many of their biggest Atlantic hits). C. P. Spencer left the group shortly afterwards, and later went on to be a member of the Voice Masters and The Originals. He was replaced by George Dixon. The group renamed themselves The Spinners in 1961. This name was chosen after looking at popular car hubcaps and noting how they spun around on a car's wheel. The group, originating from Detroit, still tours regularly as of 2014 although Henry Fambrough is the only original member. The group is also listed as the Detroit Spinners, and the Motown Spinners (for their 1960s recordings with the Detroit label). These group names were used in the UK to avoid confusion with a British folk group also called The Spinners.

"Games People Play", also known as "They Just Can't Stop It (The Games People Play)", was recorded in 1975 from their Pick of the Litter album, featuring lead vocals by the group's main lead singer Bobby Smith, the female backing vocals on the song performed by Barbara Ingram. The song was a crossover success, spending a week at number one on the US Hot Soul Singles chart and peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. This song was an RIAA certified million-seller for the Spinners.
