“It’s A Shame” #14 10/17/1970

You could say it’s a shame when someone busts their butt for the company they work for, doing everything asked of them and more, and get treated like dirt. That’s what happened to the Spinners. These guys did all sorts of jobs for their label, even working in the mail room. This Top 5 soul record, produced and co-written by Stevie Wonder who also played many of the instruments, would be their last hit at Motown before leaving for Atlantic Records (on the advice of Aretha Franklin) and finally achieving huge success later in the 70’s.
