The Clay McMurray produced "Stand By Me," which features Spyder's on-target vocal imitations of many of fellow 1960s soul brothers such as Smokey Robinson, Chuck Jackson and Jackie Wilson, belies Spyder's incredible talent as a songwriter and producer in his own right. His writing credits include Rose Royce's hit, "Do Your Dance."
His self-titled album, Spyder Turner, features an updated smooth rendition of his "Stand By Me." This version relies less on novelty and more on his own sensuous vocals. The other three songs on the album showcase his writing ability and the dexterity of his natural baritone vocals. A particular standout, "I Don't Wanna Go Home Tonight," is a blue lights in the basement jam that tells a story of forbidden love.
Today, Spyder is an electrifying live performer who entrances audiences with his gritty vocals and unique blend of rock n' soul. He continues to write for himself and other artists.
