Philippé Wynne (Wikipedia.org)

Philippé Wynne (born Phillip Walker April 3, 1941 – July 14, 1984) was an American R&B vocalist.

Born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he began his singing career as a gospel singer. He soon switched to the newly emerging R&B style and attained some measure of success, singing with Bootsy Collins's Pacesetters in 1968 with James Brown's JBs shortly thereafter. In the Academy Award-winning film, When We Were Kings, Philippe Wynne of the Spinners was in total control of his Congolese audience. It must be pointed out that before Wynne replaced his cousin, G.C. Cameron, in the Spinners he spent time in Europe playing with a band from Liberia. However, he gained stardom in his own right starting in the early 1970s when he became the lead vocalist for The Spinners. He sang with the group until 1977, leading them to a number of top-selling albums and singles.

He then launched a solo career, but it was not nearly as successful. His fortunes turned upwards again as he joined George Clinton's Funkadelic around 1979. He performed with them on several recordings, and was a featured vocalist on the Funkadelic single "(not just) Knee Deep", as well as continuing his solo career, which was somewhat successful, though he never regained the superstardom he had enjoyed with the Spinners. Wynne, while performing at a show at Ivey's nightclub in Oakland, California on July 13, 1984, suffered a massive heart attack and died early the next morning at Providence Hospital.
