  • The Authority On All Things R&B !
    On this week's episode of R&B Money, Tank and J Valentine welcome the Legendary Whispers. They discuss how they emerged from the backstage of a high school talent show before scoring their first radio hit with assistance from Sly Stone. Exploring further into their success story, the group discusses forging ahead in spite of numerous adversities while becoming the inaugural act on Soul Train Records - an alliance between Dick Griffey and Don Cornelius that was unfortunately short-lived. Elaborating upon distinctions between the church side of R&B verses the Cadillac side, alongside delving into nuances regarding music industry regulations dating back decades as well as contemporary censorship issues versus what is dispensed today.

      I do like and respect Tank for bringing True R&B Legends but because the Whispers are my favorite than all, I am hurt to hear the twins using profanity that makes me re-evaluate my listening for their music. Beside the Lord, I have always been attentive to the Whipers singing. I love them for ever and a day just do not like the profanity that comes from one of the twins mouth. I will listen to their music but not when they are giving information about the past and the future about R&B because the cursing language. However, inspite of, I am a Whispers fan for live when they are singing. Love and Blessings

    • @etheljohnson2771
      @etheljohnson2771 Год назад +1

      The cursing is just an expression of how they were treated in the past and how different the industry is today. I'm sure there has been times when you had a situation where you was mad and used a few curse words we are all human and no one is perfect . I'm glad that they shared the information about the industry in the past and what they went through to pave the way for the artist of today. The Whispers have and always will be my favorite group.They suffered a lot of racism and still made it to be one of the greatest R&B groups of all times who have not received the recognition that they truly deserve . i didn't take the cursing as a bad thing the hosts were cursing also but everybody has their own opinion

      @julslatt6294 Год назад +1

      Agree💯 absolutely !! That cursing is part of their genuine and non fake portrayal, but honestly telling their story.. their “truth” told freely, at ease, authentic and to be oneself in unscripted interview before maybe millions.. if there were rules, such as no profanity, then the host of the show would not have opened the door by using curse words, really part of cognitive expression, however a turnoff for some are non-offensive to the majority viewer-listeners. Only God knows the ❤️ of man.. He does not judge imperfect people living in an imperfect world bc of His forgiveness still in 21st Century.. it’s like what century do we live in !? ✝️💕☮️

    Took my mom and aunt to see them when they came to Houston, Tx. It was the Whispers, Frankie Beverly and the Maze, & Freddie Jackson. When I tell you The Whispers had us partying the whole time. Nobody was sitting down! From Rock Steady, Lady, and my favorite In The Mood, it was a class in showmanship! No auto tune, live performance, instrumentation, and smooth steps! I grew up on old school music. I am glad I got to experience this group in concert! Love them!! ❤

These Legends can sing anything and should be awarded and compensated for their major contributions to the music 🎶 industry. Every award on every platform should go to the Whispers. I am a huge fan and will forever luv and support them when they come to NYC.

They're AKA his estate are going to remake a lot of his love songs into ballads. Though many of Luther songs were love oriented miniware mid-tempo to up-tempo and that is what removes most of his music from being ballads. Luther did not like slow tempo songs you remember him first coming out he arranged his vocals and his lyrical content to be like that of scatting or even rapping.

    I have been a whisper fan since I was in my teens like 17 I'm now 68 and have seen them so many times ❤️ I have every album they made even a few Christmas ones when I say I'm a huge fan and a whispers FAN ❤️ ❤️ 💔 when my favorite guy passed ❤️ 💙 💖 🌹 🌹 💐 💐 I even seen them in other states chicago jersey I was in Delaware when and beat goes on on & on omg I sang them to my son in my womb and he knew every word to Olivia and in the mood it was funny a 2yr older jamming to the Whispers ♥ I was in the 1st row when they came to Chicago. I was in my zone the only one I felt like they were singing just to me ♥

      ABSOLUTE UNDENIABLE BEST PODCAST OUT & OR EVER CREATED!!! Not only was this the BEST idea, it took it to another level to have Tank & J.Valentine as the hosts/interviewers, they definitely make it even that much more sick. They gotta str8 BANGER on their hands & kudos to those brothers for conceptualizing this masterpiece, bringing it to fruition & shutting shit down once the cameras turned on & they started rocking & rolling👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾!!!

    Man I’m forever grateful for tank for doing this. We as black people need this, we are losing sooooo much our amazing black talent from Michael to prince Whitney Luther and Curtis mayfield. We 1 billion % have to preserve our music 🎼 🎙️ 🎤. It’s so important to these young artists like Chris brown of to reserve it. Again I’m grateful thankful. Tank this show is truly amazing. It’s well appreciated

    This is Great ! I've been singing and collecting The Whispers Music over 50yrs ! And like many others in these comments have always craved that they got more respect and acknowledgement down through the years ! If there was such a thing as giving out " Retro Grammys " they would get one for many of their legendary albums !

    Oh my GAWD! This interview is a blessing to me. I truly love, appreciate and admire the Whispers. So much so, that I play their music in my home and car frequently. Okay, so my age is showing, 😁 but that's a good thing. Back to the Whispers.....These guys are AUTHENTIC, CLASSY and ICONIC. No disrespect to the younger generation, but they could LEARN a lot from these guys. They don't make em like the Whispers no more. Their music has stood the test of time. I was just watching a few of their music videos, "In The Raw" and "Keep On Loving Me". The Whispers represented themselves as gentlemen. Because they are gentlemen. They always looked good and they can BLOW!!!!
    Olivia the slave is still a cold and relevant JAM.
    In the Mood,
    Lady
    Just to name a few!
    Love and Respect to The Whispers

    These are my guys right here. Grew up listening to them as a kid. Mom and Pops kept them in rotation. So many songs to name. Just get better with time, Olivia, In the Mood, Lady, Rock steady, Beat goes on, Keep on loving me, and A song for Donny Hathaway. Just so many great songs. These guys are legends. RIP Mr. Nicholas Caldwell.

Not only was this the BEST idea, got-damn-it, it took it to another level to have Tank & J.Valentine as the hosts/interviewers, bcuz they definitely make it even that much more sick!!! My brothers gotta str8 BANGER on their hands & kudos to these Kings for conceptualizing this masterpiece, for bringing it to fruition & for shutting shit down once the cameras turn on & they heat up & started rocking & rolling RnB Money Style👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾!!!

    I woke up to this video of you interviewing my favorite group of all time The whispers first song they ever made in 1962 as I sit here, One of my favorite songs that there's other so many others The storybook of Love , a great day, what will I do. The whispers may the best baby making how am I supposed to treat a woman how a man love a woman music You cannot find this type of music anywhere in 2023! We as the fans of the whispers we give them their accolades their flowers their goal they platinums because they is a diamond a rare diamond in the rough. RIP Nicholas smooth dancer
