Who was this man called "Sunbelt"? He was a genius in his own time. His name was Doug Groover. A dedicated and brilliant musician, a son and a brother. Even though "Spin it" was composed in 1980, it was so far ahead in it's time that it is still very popular today. It was a great 80's disco, and a wonderful dance song.

Discovering Doug's" Spin It"
Coming home from a long drive of over 1100 miles, crying and upset that my mother had passed so quickly, I started thinking about the huge discovery that my mom had hidden in her locked safe, so many momentos that she cherished. Among some of those items, we discovered were many of our brother, Doug's possessions: one of those things was the copyright to his song called "Spin It". Also among those prized possessions were his copies of his song, his pride and joy, the record that he worked so hard to produce. Wrapped delicately, put away with much love and care, mom held those things so precious to her. She lost her only son, a son that brought her so much joy. Our dad, my sister, family and I have missed him so much.
