Inductee

PHILIPPÉ WYNNE

He first stepped on stage as a gospel performer, but made his name as an R&B singer and was a member of the P-Funk group with George Clinton. Phillipé Wynne’s improvisational skills helped pave the way to becoming a lead singer for the Spinners in the 1970s. The Cincinnati native (b. 1941) was featured on Spinners classics such as “One of a Kind (Love Affair)” and the touching ballad “Sadie.” In 2023, The Spinners were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which included Phillipé Wynne.
