Billy Henderson was a huge part of my youth, his SPINNERS were favorites of mine before DISCO. I met Billy in New York in 1975 or 76, and he gave me a copy of RUBBERBAND MAN way before it was released, and told me that it would be their biggest hit. It was until their next one. They were TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, CAN"T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU! We will miss you Billy, and thanks!
