The Spinners were in the limelight again in 2003 when an Elton John track was re-issued featuring them on backing vocals. In 1977, the Spinners had recorded two versions of "Are You Ready for Love" at the Philadelphia studios. One had all of the Spinners, the other with only lead singer Philippé Wynne on backing vocals.

The Spinners had a series of certified gold albums produced by Thom Bell for Atlantic Records in the 1970s. [1] By 1977, vocalist Philippé Wynne had left the group for a solo career and to work in the music business, [2] leading to a commercial decline for the group and a pair of less successful albums in 1977, followed by a greatest hits album to buoy their profile.
The song was recorded for inclusion on the group's 1972 self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records. It was also the A-side of the group's first single release on Atlantic in July 1972. It was the first Spinners hit to feature lead vocals by Philippé Wynne (with Henry Fambrough on close harmony, [1] both of their vocals were multitracked).
