smith had been the group's lead singer since its inception, having sung lead vocals on the spinners first hit record in 1961, "that's what girls are made for" (which has been inaccurately credited to the group's mentor and former moonglows lead singer, the late harvey fuqua). smith also sang lead on most of their motown material during the 1960s, such as the charting singles like "truly yours" (1966) and "i'll always love you" (1965); almost all of the group's pre-motown material on fuqua's tri-phi records label, and also on the spinners' biggest atlantic records hits. these included "i'll be around", "could it be i'm falling in love", "they just can't stop it the (games people play)". in 1974, they scored their only #1 pop hit with "then came you" (sung by smith, in a collaboration with superstar dionne warwick). despite the fact that smith led on many of the group's biggest hits, many have erroneously credited most of the group's success to its other lead singer, the late philippé wynne, who didn't join the spinners until well over a decade "after" they had formed. (henry fambrough also sang lead on some of the spinners' songs.) the confusion between smith and wynne may be due to the similarities in their voices, and the fact that they frequently shared lead vocals on many of those hits.
