The Spinners had large contributions to the funk and soul musical tradition, with them virtually defining the Philly soul groove style of the funk and soul scene of the early 70s. "Rubberband Man" has an infectiously funky rhythm with the catchy piano playing and the bursts of the horn section. Not only was it a big song for the nightclubs, but it was a crossover hit as well, landing as high as number two on the Pop Singles Chart. The swagger-like lyrics and the funky beat made it easy for the club-going youth of the 70s to relate to and dance to.
