'"That's What Girls Are Made For"' is the debuting single for the American R&B/Soul vocal group The Spinners, released on Harvey Fuqua's Tri-Phi Records label in 1961.
The single featured most of the original members of the group including original lead singer Bobby Smith and featured a very young Marvin Gaye playing drums. Harvey Fuqua and his then-girlfriend Gwen Gordy made the song simply for them to record.
Released nationally on Tri-Phi, the song reached number 27 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100[https://books.google.com/books?id=zm-hSHQfBfAC&pg=PA156&dq=billboard+1965+I%27ll+Always+Love+You+%28The+Spinners+song%29&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAWoVChMIyLyvwu3oxwIV0X-SCh3DFwEP#v=onepage&q=billboard%201965%20I%27ll%20Always%20Love%20You%20%28The%20Spinners%20song%29&f=false Carolina Beach Music] and number 5 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, starting a long successful run for the group, who later found success with neighboring Detroit label Motown Records in the mid-1960s and Philadelphia soul-based records with Atlantic Records in the 1970s.
