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.
And this song is just one of the reasons my 70s will kick the butt of every era of pop music. Y'all definitely need to hit "It's A Love Thing" by these brothers!
@@davidbordonaro1631 Oh, yeah. The 70s was heavy with turmoil that touched every corner of the country, but as you said, the music - almost all genres - was too damned amazing! I enjoy music from a lot of decades (even the current one) but the 70s will always own my heart and soul!
Yes young people... we loved The Whispers....George Benson, .... MJ... The Temptations....Barry White... Shalamar, Evelyn Champagne King... ....dancned through the 1980s in London....we managed to go to work on a Monday too....❤....
Ahhhh! Their song Rock Steady was my favorite song as a little kid! Love The Whispers! Watched a documentary on them in the last hear. They still perform! 😍
Jay, did you see Drew from Mt. Orab, Ohio (Broncos) just beat Berrow's high school record? It is the town my dad still lives in and I first lived in. Very small town similar to where Amber grew up. Joe took it well.
Of course, this is the song Will Smith sampled for his hit song, "Miami". Such a great groove! "Rock Steady" is definitely a Whispers song you should react to. It's arguably their biggest hit.
This was the JAM back in the day. One of those perfect roller skating songs that always brings me back to my childhood along with Chic - Good Times, A Taste Of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie, Heatwave - Boogie Nights, Vaughn Mason, Bounce Rock Skate and Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
I'm going to piggyback off of your suggestions and add Ray, Goodman, and Brown (Special Lady), The Bar-Kays (Freakshow On The Dance Floor), and Midnight Star (Wet My Whistle).
@@ronnix23 I would like to go deeper with Gems like Amuzement Park and "Groove Your Blues Away", D Train and "You're The One For Me", Mystic Merlin and "Mr. Magician" and Tom Browne "Funkin' For Jamaica".
Loved your reaction guys! The Whispers are a great group. Two of the original members are identical twins, Walter and Wallace Scott. Other suggestioned songs are Rock Steady, Lost and Turned Out, Keep On Lovin' Me, and It's a Love Thing.
You should listen to the hit Ain’t No Stopping Us Now by McFadden and Whitehead. If you like this Whisper’s song you will love this McFadden and Whitehead song. It was a worldwide hit when I was a teenager in the 70’s. It is such a positive song, and people would rush the dance floor whenever it was played. 🙂
I'm 60 years old and I lived through that time. In my country, Brazil, when this song played in clubs, people got up and the dance floor was packed.... As you say: VIBE! VIBE! Look for more on "The Whispers". They have a lot of great songs... Thank you for the videos and God bless you!
Fantastic!! One of my favorite songs of all time! Still play it! Their albums usually had a Dancin’ side and a Romancin’ side. Keep checking them out. A favorite group of mine!!! Lead singers are twin brothers Walter and Scotty.
Remember that every soul or funk artist isn't from MOTOWN. The lead singers are identical twins...Walter and Scotty. They have a diamond basket of great songs and hopefully you react to "Rock Steady"(live version) soon and then a young generation favorite(Your age group) called "Olivia Lost and Turned Out" They had a ton of baby-making slow jams. 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)
Oh yeah, this was always on my playlist when I was getting ready to go out to the club! You should listen to them sing "Rock Steady" and "Keep on Lovin' Me". 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
Jay and Amber it’s time for you to react to Tavares… One of the greatest group that did disco like no other in the 70s! You will not be disappointed and I know as TH-camrs will be very very happy
My sister went to school with the twins. And one I forget which one sold me a pair of Easter shoes. I really love their first record Your Love is So Doggone Good. They signed to Solar Records later the same label as Shalamar the group that featured Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels, featured dancers on Soul Train in the 70’s.
The Whispers have twin brothers who performed on each end (both had thick mustaches) and the 3 guys dancing in the middle - 5 total. Check out there songs Lady, A Song for Donny, In the Mood and It’s a Love Thang 🔥🎶
The two lead singers on the far left and far right are identical twins ( Walter and Wallace Scott )...When they sing, they sound exactly alike...They usually take turns singing in each song....The tall guy with the beard is Nicholas Caldwell ( He wrote a lot of their songs )...The other two members are ( Leavel Degree and Marcus Hutson )...And yes they were known for their great dance moves.
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!
Yes, these were the days for the roller-skating rink for me! Fun years, showing off our easy dance moves on roller skates! LOL! Oh this song brings back happy memories! This song came out in 1979 I was in 9th grade when this song came out! I like how you enjoy this song as much as we still do! Amber and Jay, it's okay to get up and dance to this song if you want to! It's okay, we'll enjoy it too! 🤗 i enjoyed your reaction to this song! ☮💕👍👏
I truly truly appreciate you both liking my Era of dance music. 60's thru the 90's, R & B will continue to survive thanks to you and other reactors who take the time to listen. Love to you both and your family.
Hey Jay and Amber! The Whispers are getting down for sure! The twins Walter and Wallace Scott are the lead singers of the group! Please check out Rock Steady also by the Whispers! You should see the Soul Train Scramble Board clip with this song on it! It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Wow! I think this might be one of the best reactions I’ve seen from you guys. You both seemed to equally be into this “smooth” jam from the opening notes. 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.
The guitar is Steve Shockley from Lakeside. He also played on Shalimar's records. They all were on SOLAR Records. (The Sound of LOS Angeles Records). All these bands you're critiquing are still on tour. Check them while you still can.
Ya'll are showing couples how to love together, groove together and stay together with your amazing energy. Long live You, long live your Family and long live Love. The Beat goes On through your lovely Example. Thank you Both so much♥️🏵🥰🌷
They got the sound they got the moves. Someone commented, this was baby- making' music, dang right. Rock Steady, classic.Thanks again. There's a Sonny and Cher song of the same name. Love
The Whispers should be in the Hall of Fame. Scotty and Walter the identical twins taking turns singing lead vocals you have to check them out nobody notices or mentions that when playing the Whispers music videos. These guys go way back check out the Whispers Library they have some all-time classic songs. Long live The Whispers.
This is a good example of why we couldn't stay home on Saturday nights!! There were so many outstanding groups, dropping great dance cuts and we were having the times of our lives!! There's a saying floating around to understand the fever, "you had to be there!"
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.
Thanks for this awesome reaction guys!!I love that you’re getting into 70s/80s R&B soul/funk 👏🏾🔥👏🏾 I was so disappointed by the content of another channel today 😠 but this - THE WHISPERS - made me happy again 🙏🏾🤗🥰 Excellent song choice!!!
Great song! One of my first concerts seeing them with Shalamar (featuring Jody Watley) and Lakeside. Please react to Jody Watley. She won Grammy for best new artist in the 80s and was a popular Soul Train dancer.
Great reaction!...for Female Friday, check out the live performance of A Taste of Honey. These ladies were popular in the disco era. They play base guitar! The song is called Boogie Oogie Oogie. You guys will love it!
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.
Love the Whispers... I know I'm late, but every soul group isn't a Motown artist. I'm pretty sure you've done your homework by now😊 I do appreciate your channel
"Rock Steady" (produced by LA & Babyface) "Lady" and "Lost and Turned Out" are other hits by The Whispers you should check out! P.S. I don't think they were on Motown
Saw in an interview not long ago, The Whispers said that the group The O'Jays taught them about showmanship and how important it was. All of the groups at this time were fantastic. You should check out the group The Dramatics. Check out their song "Me, Myself, and I"or "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get".
The Whispers are one of my all-time favorite R&B groups. Try "It's A Love Thing," "Keep on Lovin' Me," "In the Raw," and "(Olivia ) Lost and Turned Out." Love watching your videos--your enthusiasm is infectious!
These brothas are all brothers (literally), and two of them are identical twins (did you catch that?). Amazing, talented group. You MUST check out "Rock Steady" from them next!
There are 2 Lead Singers, They are Twins and one stand on the Right and the other on the Left... In the early videos they never let you see them together or side by side for the illusion that it is just 1 of them.... Love this Song!
I JUST LOVE YOU BOTH!! You all are so cute!! Warms my heart to see a young couple enjoying my era of music. Our era artist had to have talent. I appreciate you & this channel!! ❤️
Totally love this tune. 1979, met the man I married last November. Me chucking coins into the jukebox while he played pool in the local pub. It was played several times at our wedding since everyone associated me to this tune xxx
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!❤
Love The Whispers, and Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes, The O'Jays all those groups back in the day they were so smooth dance so good love going to the club and listening to that music back in the day. I'm glad you two are listening to some good R&B LOL
Hey gang, let me first send thoughts and prayers for all in the path of the hurricane, Please stay safe...This is a great, fun clubbin' jam from the past...Thanx so much, Blessings
When I was young, I would go to any dance I could find, and many times my favorite DJ would spot me and play " "Rock Steady" and I would put on a show!!!!
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.

That's awesome information. Thanks for sharing that!
Great stuff..
Amazing 😁
Amazing, I didn't know that
There are one of the great R&B groups of All-time!!!
And this song is just one of the reasons my 70s will kick the butt of every era of pop music. Y'all definitely need to hit "It's A Love Thing" by these brothers!
A lot of bad stuff went down in the 70s - but the music was just too good !
Boss, your comment should be the spotlight on this chain!
@@davidbordonaro1631 Oh, yeah. The 70s was heavy with turmoil that touched every corner of the country, but as you said, the music - almost all genres - was too damned amazing! I enjoy music from a lot of decades (even the current one) but the 70s will always own my heart and soul!
At 74 years old I thoroughly thoroughly agree with you, kicking butt is what the 70s did
70s were great, almost as great as 80s music
Yes young people... we loved The Whispers....George Benson, .... MJ... The Temptations....Barry White... Shalamar, Evelyn Champagne King... ....dancned through the 1980s in London....we managed to go to work on a Monday too....❤....
Ahhhh! Their song Rock Steady was my favorite song as a little kid! Love The Whispers! Watched a documentary on them in the last hear. They still perform! 😍
We're the about forgot about that I'm gonna give it a pledge
Jay, did you see Drew from Mt. Orab, Ohio (Broncos) just beat Berrow's high school record? It is the town my dad still lives in and I first lived in. Very small town similar to where Amber grew up. Joe took it well.
AGREE
@@allendixon7700 Another good Whisper's song to review would be: It's A Love Thing.
Rock Steady was the jam in all the clubs!
Of course, this is the song Will Smith sampled for his hit song, "Miami". Such a great groove! "Rock Steady" is definitely a Whispers song you should react to. It's arguably their biggest hit.
NOW YOU'RE TALKING!!!! This is a rabbit hole you must go down!!!!
Rock Steady.. produced by LA & Babyface! That was the jam for 1987.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the sample. I got into jazz by researching which hip-hop artists sampled what songs. ;)
You didn't notice they are twins. I believe identical twins.
Rock Steady is AMAZING
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Leon Sylvers
I knew about this track before Will Smith sampled the beat to write "Miami" which is another incredible bop.
This was the JAM back in the day. One of those perfect roller skating songs that always brings me back to my childhood along with Chic - Good Times, A Taste Of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie, Heatwave - Boogie Nights, Vaughn Mason, Bounce Rock Skate and Michael Jackson - Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

In fact, I can't hear the song "Boogie Oogie Oogie" without picturing the roller rink days!
Bounce Rock Skate is something on another level of skate groove. Love all of the ones you listed.
@@canonfodder2068 Oh.. I've been a DJ for over 30 years. I can go deep!! But I figure we'll start with the easy ones and see how it goes. 😁
The Whispers - Lady, It’s A Love Thing, Rock Steady
Loved your reaction guys! The Whispers are a great group. Two of the original members are identical twins, Walter and Wallace Scott. Other suggestioned songs are Rock Steady, Lost and Turned Out, Keep On Lovin' Me, and It's a Love Thing.
Classic soul at its finest ✌🏾
Wallace and Walter Scott are twins from Fort Worth, Texas. Born September 23, 1943. AKA Steve Harvey!
I’m 62 years old now, but I loved to dance to this song!!!
They were on Solar records with other great groups like Shalamar. Starring Jody Watley.
SH-LA-MAR!!!
They need to get on it!
Just before the Mickey Free rendition.
@@shogunn2517 wouldn't mind some Jody Watley.
Janus and Capitol as well
And Midnight Star. Another big group on the SOLAR label.
Listen to "Rocksteady & In The Mood" by The Whispers.
Just downloaded Rock Steady
My all time favorite group...I`m so happy you are reacting to them...They have a long list of awesome songs.
You should listen to the hit Ain’t No Stopping Us Now by McFadden and Whitehead. If you like this Whisper’s song you will love this McFadden and Whitehead song.

I was blessed to grow up during this time of music.

Three of their most fun hits.
These guys are All Time, All Time Greats!!! The lead singers are twins! I hope you can react to them on Soul Train!! (A better dancing crowd, hahaha!)

*Oh my gosh* one of my all-time favorite songs! 👏🏻 🎶 It can bring me out of a funk as soon as I hear the intro! ❤
Jay & Amber, they had another hit "Rock Steady", and its a different song from Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady"!
Also in the mood was a good one
Both versions are 🔥!
They had more than another hit.
This song still makes me want to get up and dance all these decades later!!!!
lead singers are twins
You would LOVE Float On by the Floaters. It came out in 1977 and has it all. I hope you give it a try.
Oh yeah, this was always on my playlist when I was getting ready to go out to the club! You should listen to them sing "Rock Steady" and "Keep on Lovin' Me".

Yes to Shalamar!
@@Wordsmyth8 Overall "Solar Records" had a lot of good groups under their label.....
Yes Yes Yes to Shalamar! Everyone forgets Atlantic Starr and Rose Royce when bringing up groups. They worth while, as well.
This was the beat of the late 70s 1979 Oct Released 1979 I WAS THERE
Jay and Amber it’s time for you to react to Tavares… One of the greatest group that did disco like no other in the 70s! You will not be disappointed and I know as TH-camrs will be very very happy

They have a plethora of hits! Rock steady, Olivia, just say yes, just get better with time, tribute to Donnie, and many many more!
The Whispers have twin brothers who performed on each end (both had thick mustaches) and the 3 guys dancing in the middle - 5 total. Check out there songs Lady, A Song for Donny, In the Mood and It’s a Love Thang 🔥🎶
Brings back good memories!
The two lead singers on the far left and far right are identical twins ( Walter and Wallace Scott )...When they sing, they sound exactly alike...They usually take turns singing in each song....The tall guy with the beard is Nicholas Caldwell ( He wrote a lot of their songs )...The other two members are ( Leavel Degree and Marcus Hutson )...And yes they were known for their great dance moves.

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.
ya BUT This was from 1979 ..

You livin' life on the edge J. Don't piss that lady off! Lol
In the late seventies when this was popular, I thought of its title and chorus as echoing the iconic 1967 Sonny and Cher song, "The Beat Goes On."
Amber was feeling it lol
The Whispers are one of my all-time favorite R&B groups. Try "It's A Love Thing," "Keep on Lovin' Me," "In the Raw," and "(Olivia ) Lost and Turned Out." Love watching your videos--your enthusiasm is infectious!
These brothas are all brothers (literally), and two of them are identical twins (did you catch that?). Amazing, talented group. You MUST check out "Rock Steady" from them next!
Great Philly Soul. Everybody on the dance floor. ✌️
There are 2 Lead Singers, They are Twins and one stand on the Right and the other on the Left... In the early videos they never let you see them together or side by side for the illusion that it is just 1 of them.... Love this Song!
Sounds like bass player, writer and producer Leon Sylvers of the Sylvers family group. He did a lot of bass work for Solar Records artists.
I JUST LOVE YOU BOTH!! You all are so cute!! Warms my heart to see a young couple enjoying my era of music. Our era artist had to have talent. I appreciate you & this channel!! ❤️
Another classic, you two would make a great mixtape.
Totally love this tune. 1979, met the man I married last November. Me chucking coins into the jukebox while he played pool in the local pub. It was played several times at our wedding since everyone associated me to this tune xxx
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!❤
This is a great tune! Very roller disco!
🔥
1 of the elite, most underrated soul groups, ever.
icons. legends.
that 'good good.'
got me funked up.
im from the uk and a big american soul fan and the whispers are soooo! gooood! for now more 80s SOUL!. ; )
This was 1979 ..
I'm gonna have to pause this and find my platforms. 😉
The 70's group! Love this group! Great song to dance to!!! ❤️❤️❤️
And the beat is still going on in 2022 . Love grooving to this song ... great reaction 😊💕🎶🎶
Love The Whispers, and Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes, The O'Jays all those groups back in the day they were so smooth dance so good love going to the club and listening to that music back in the day. I'm glad you two are listening to some good R&B LOL
I love this song. It was a big hit at the skating rink back in the day.
Thanks for doing this. Even though I grew up in 70's/80's, I had never ever heard this. It was cool.
More Whispers songs to enjoy: "It's a Love Thing", "In The Raw" and "Rock Steady".
The Floaters "Float On" is a whole vibe. Check it out. Sending good vibes!
The live version.
ROCK STEADY by THE WHISPERS was a big hit for them. Another suggestion I have is FANTASTIC VOYAGE by LAKESIDE.
“It’s a love thing “🎶 also a great one from them
Rob squad just in case your wondering what the best decade for music WAS. The 70s have 8 of the top 25 Biggest selling LPS in the USA, ,, A true fact
It’s a Love Thing.
Good One💃🏾
If you want to hear them slow it down, I would highly suggest their song Lady. The lyrics are unreal.
Hey gang, let me first send thoughts and prayers for all in the path of the hurricane, Please stay safe...This is a great, fun clubbin' jam from the past...Thanx so much, Blessings
Oh my you got yourselves into a good one here😁
This is why I like watching reaction videos you come across songs that you had forgotten about and they take you back to your youth 👏🏽🇦🇺
When I was young, I would go to any dance I could find, and many times my favorite DJ would spot me and play " "Rock Steady" and I would put on a show!!!!
