They were known as just The Spinners in America, the Detroit was added to stop any confusion with the 1960s folk band.

I really liked the Detroit Spinners. 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love' and 'Working My Way Back To You' are classics.

70s as well, I remember them, Scousers in chunky pullovers. They once brought Stockport Market to a standstill filming an advert for biscuits IIRC.
