    The whispers are an example of true brotherhood. They never had a single lineup change in their entire history. When one member went to prison in the ‘80’s they performed as a quartet and made sure his wife received his share. He returned to his spot upon release. When another member died in the 90’s they vowed not to replace him so that his family could receive his share. A second member died a few years ago. They are now a trio. They are fantastic live.

I can't wait until you guys do the live version of LTD doing their horn groovy funk song on Soul Train called "Back in Love Again" (It's funkier than watching a skunk wiggling it's butt)

Also please listen to the Isley Brothers "Who's That Lady" and "Between the Sheets" which gives the same vibes. And of course you HAVE to give Shalamar a listen! Their music will forever be some of the best R&B dance music of the 80's. Try "A Night To Remember", "Make That Move", "The Second Time Around", "Sweeter as the Days Go By", "Dancin' in the Sheets", "I Can Make You Feel Good". I know you'll love their music

I absolutely LOVE this song and Amber when you out your hands up over your head and started clapping it brought a huge smile to my face because I knew you were feeling it. You can’t help but smile and move when you hear this song and it sounds just as good now as when it was released. Great video guys and Jay, I gotta agree with the mustache comment, dude was rocking that epic stache! So many other similar early 80s grooves you guys should check out. “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now” by McFadden and Whitehead, “Forget Me Nots” by Patrice Rushen, “Found A Cure” by Ashford and Simpson just to suggest a few.

    Great reaction! The Whispers were tight but The Temptations were The Truth when it came to precision dancing and a range of voices and music! Y’all really need to check of Sly and The Family Stone! Sly Stone was the Prince of the 70’s as far as writing the songs, playing all the instruments, recording and mixing the songs, and what he wrote was fat funk! Sly, James Brown and George Clinton invented funk and both James and George had the same bass player, Bootsy Collins. You can’t have funk without bass and Bootsy was only 18 when he and his brother Catfish started working with James!

    Late commenting because I am just seeing this post today. I really enjoyed your reactions. FYI this was from SOLAR Records the sound of Los Angeles Records where Dick Griffey was the Berry Gordy and Leon Sylvers from the group The Sylvers was the "Hit after Hit for various groups' producer

    Worked at a club in L.A. in the 80's and 90's and these guys did a New Year's Eve show there. So much fun. Definitely need to check out Rock Steady.

    The Whispers - In The Mood (Official Video), super sensual and Keep On Lovin' Me (Official Music Video), great dance moves, are just two of the songs that made me a big time fan.

    Great song from the Whispers! Check out their other hits "It's A Love Thing" from 1981 and "Rock Steady" from 1987.
    You guys need to review Tulsa, Oklahoma's own Gap Band "Burn Rubber On Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me) from 1980. Band consisted of three Wilson brothers and other members. They got their band name from street names Greenwood, Archer, and Pine in the historic Greenwood neighborhood.

      They have reacted to at least three Gap Band songs. "Burn Rubber On Me" I don't think they did. I know they did not get around to "Outstanding" my personal favorite with "Early In The Morning which they did react to already.

    Funk, R&B and Classic Soul at its best! I strongly want to recommend the movie for your other channel, "The Five Heartbeats" (1991), directed by and starring Robert Townsend. It'll give you great appreciation for guy groups like The Whispers.

    Just saw Zapp two weekends ago here in Ohio, where they are originally from. Sad since Roger is gone, but his brother at 70 something is still doing standing back flips in the show. Their hit Computer love was fun, but they closed with California Love, which founder/brother Roger Trout man did with 2Pac and Dr. Dre. They had at least 20 people from the audience on stage! It was amazing!❤
