70s SOUL GROUP THE SPINNERS TO PLAY TURLOCK
FAIR
Turlock
– This year’s Stanislaus County Fair will
feature a whole new variety of Spinners –
but you won’t find them on the midway.
The soulful quintet, known for hits like
“Could It Be” and “Rubberband Man” will take
the Budweiser Variety Free Stage on
Saturday, July 29 at 8:30 p.m. All concerts
on this stage are included with the price of
fair gate admission.
“The Spinners truly put the ‘class,’ in
classic soul,” said Pennie Rorex, fair
spokesperson. “We are excited to bring a
group with such a powerful catalogue of hits
to our fair guests—free with the price of
admission.”
Billboard Magazine has called The
Spinners “the greatest soul group of the
early 70s.” They have conquered both Pop and
R&B charts with over 12 gold records thanks
to their flawless vocals and dedication to
producing top-notch hits time and time
again. Classics like “I’ll Be Around,” “Then
Came You” and “Games People Play” appeal to
audiences of all ages.
