R&B/Soul Musician. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Wynne began his musical career as a gospel singer, and as a member of the Pacesetters, and James Brown's group, the JB's, before joining the Detroit Spinners in 1970, as there lead singer. Originally formed in the 1950s, the Spinners original lineup included Bobbie Smith, Pervis Jackson, Billy Henderson, George W. Dixon, and Henry Fambrough. The group began as a quintet called 'The Domingoes' at a local high school in the Ferndale District of Detroit, Michigan. In 1961, they came to the attention of music producer Harvey Fuqua (and of The Moonglows), and were quickly signed to the Tri-Phi Records Label, with there new name of 'The Detroit Spinners.' Following the release of the group's first Top Ten R&B hit single, "That's What Girls Are Made For,' George W. Dixon left the group, and was replaced by Edgar "Chico" Edwards. Throughout the 1960s the group released several minor releases that failed, but by the mid-1960s, Edwards had been replaced by G.C. Cameron as lead singer, and they were now recording on the Motown Record Label, following the buyout of there old label of Tri-Phi. They again had a few more recordings including, "Truly Yours", "I'll Always Love You", and a success with Stevie Wonder's, "It's A Shame", in 1970. By 1972, the group's contract at the Motown Record Label was over. That same year the group let lead singer G.C. Cameron go and replaced him Philippe Wynne. Known for his silky voice, Wynne had previously been a gospel singer, and had worked with such groups as, Catfish, Bootsie Collins, and The Pacesetters, among others. The 'new' reformed group signed with the Atlantic Record Label and began to work with music producer Thom Bell.
Quickly becoming a first-rate soul singer, Wynne helped the group to achieve many hit chart successes inlcuding on both the R&B and pop charts. There recording successes included, "How Could I Let You Get Away", "Games People Play", "One Of A Kind (Love Affair)," "Ghetto Child", "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love", "I'll Be Around", "You're Throwing A Good Love Love Away", "Mighty Love", and "Rubberband Man."
The group also had there share of successful albums, including some on the Top 20 and some going gold.
By 1977, Wynne decided he had enough and he left the group to pursure a solo career. He was replaced as lead singer by John Edwards. Wynne recorded the solo album "Starting All Over", and "Wynne Jammin", on the Cotillion Record Label in 1980. Although none of Wynne's solo achievements went anywhere, he did touring with such groups as George Clinton and Parliament-Funkedelic, and he was well-received.
