Now, more than a half century later, the ultra smooth baritone Henry Fambrough – the last living original member of The Spinners --has retired from active performing. Just a few weeks shy of his 85th birthday, Fambrough has stepped aside from active performing, and is taking a well-deserved rest after decades of constant touring.
