Lovin' Feelings (Spinners album)

Lovin' Feelings is a 1985 studio album by American soul music vocal group The Spinners, released on Mirage Records. The band came to Mirage after a steady commercial and critical decline that lasted for almost a decade and resulted in them leaving long-time label Atlantic Records. However, the band were unable to regain any momentum, with Lovin' Feelings becoming the first Spinners album to not chart.
