“The End of an Era:” Henry Fambrough, the Last of the Original Spinners, Dies at 85

Henry Fambrough, who at 85 was the last surviving original member of the Spinners, has died, the band said.

Fambrough died Feb. 7; no cause was given.

Fambrough was “the captain of our ship,” said the Spinners, who continue to tour with no founders after the baritone’s 2023 retirement.

“Fambrough’s transition marks the end of an era,” the band said.

The group that would become the Spinners formed in 1954 as the Domingoes. After changing their name, the band logged more than a dozen hits including “I Don’t Want to Lose You,” “Mighty Love,” “Could it be I’m Falling in Love,” “The Rubberband Man” and “Working My Way Back to You” for the Motown and Atlantic labels.

“We are deeply honored to have been a part of his journey, and we are committed to ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire generations to come,” the Motown Museum said in a statement

“Though his voice may have quieted, Henry Fambrough’s music will live on through the ages.”
