Obituary: R&B Spinners group lead singer John Edwards, 80, has died after declining health resulting from a stroke.

For about twenty years, the group had a string of hits.  

Snip: 


Edwards' route to music stardom began in the U.S. Army, when he began performing in clubs while stationed in Germany. Upon returning to the U.S., Edwards launched a successful solo singing career, with his 1974 record "Careful Man" hitting No. 8 on the R&B charts. In 1977, he joined the Spinners, who at that point had already established themselves as bona fide hitmakers. With Edwards on board, they continued to land songs on the charts, hitting No. 2 on the Billboard charts with their 1980 version of "Working My Way Back to You" and No. 4 with their version of Sam Cooke's "Cupid." Edwards remained a core part of the band until 2000, when a stroke robbed him of his ability to perform. The Spinners are in the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
