Olivia, the slave. This was released in 1978, way before today's world human trafficking problem. Yet the world's oldest profession continues, voluntary or otherwise. Glad you did this one.
Olivia was a updated take on Little Red Riding Hood....Olivia was distracted by the big bad wolf (pimp) on her way to grandmas house....lol...Whispers had a few MONSTER hits....Its A Love Thang, And The Beat Goes On among them....twin brothers are the lead singers....Great choice....unsong group but not forgotten
Yes thank you for sharing you have so much wisdom very rare and you can expire so many more your age well I will say all ages because when I and sisters song back in the day the songs were to bring us together and teach us how to learn and teach us what goes wrong in love yes the music back in the day Taught us understanding and how to love and what goes on in relationships thank you young man I appreciate you yes I do very grateful for young people because they you all are future thank you Agape
The song is an analogy to the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. Wolf's clothing. With a modern twist. Very clever. And ahead of its time (1978). When I first heard this in '78 I became an instant Whispers fan. Back in the day Cadillac Sevilles ( a line of Cadillacs) was very popular with pimps.
The Whispers✨ is one of my favorite groups of all time, next to Earth, Wind and Fire and The Manhattans 💚 I love this song, part of my daily playlist still. Great reaction. ✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Youngblood, also check out some of their earlier gems, Somebody Loves You, Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong, I Only Meant To Wet My Feet, and last but not least Can’t Help But Love You.
You didn't pick up on the fact that those are the most IDENTICAL of twins to have ever lived singing and splitting the lead vocals on this and most of their entire library of big, big hits. Check 'em out. 3 cats in the middle and the mirror images and vocals on the ends, left and right. Walter Scott and Wallace Scott. One reason The Whispers had a unique harmony is that they never had a bass singer. They always have sort of an angelic harmony. Nothing but quality work, and a whole lot of it.
Damn. My daughter sent "Olivia lost and Turned Out" in a link today. I had to remember what this record was about again. Letting your body be all used and abused for no good reasons.
the Whispers!!! how much time to do have for me to tell you how much I love this group. As much as I love Earth Wind and Fire, the Whispers dont' have to compete with no one. Love them ;0
I read somewhere the Whispers were conflicted with the pimps being a fan of their music and not speaking out about prostitution...hence the song "Olivia Lost and Turned Out"
Out of all of the people that reacted to this song you’re the only one that actually listened, those other idiots were commenting on their mustache and spin moves. Great job!
This song is sad but beautiful.

A wolf in lambs clothing came blew her mind and changed her way
💯....some of the best, true-to-life lyrics written.

Such beautiful singing about a horrible situation . Whewww 😿

This song is so real 👏🏾 to this day
Great song!! All the Whispers songs were fire 🔥 🔥 I'm 67 years old......That's my growing up era...we had all the good singing groups!!!
Always thought this was a love song until i got older 😂
From the album Headlights.
The Seville is a Cadillac for OG's.
Would love to have a well kept Seville right now! I liked that first Seville made.
Cadillacs were popular luxury cars in the USA until the late 70’s , in America. The Seville was a popular model.

The Whispers "HeadLights" album had lots of hits!

The LEGENDARY Iconic Whispers
They said on their episode of Unsung, this song was about someone they knew, I think a manager, who's niece was turned out by a pimp

Two years later, but did (do) you know what the song was actually about?
Beautiful Song. 🙏🏾♥️💐🏆
I love the Whispers. "Olivia" blew my mind when i first heard it. Listen to Teena Marie's Deja vu.
Great honest reaction...it wasn’t fake.. Loved it..
the Whispers!!! how much time to do have for me to tell you how much I love this group. As much as I love Earth Wind and Fire, the Whispers dont' have to compete with no one. Love them ;0
Always been my favorite by them
My second favorite from them after Love Is Where You Find It.

Classic Original ❤️ 😎 ❤️
This was based on the fact that one of The Whispers was a Pmp
There's a message in the music
Pimps hated this song!
Every time I hear this song it makes me tear up thinking about these young girls caught up in sex trafficking .
Yea, The Whispers.. you cant go wrong with any other songs.. Delve in, you wont regret it.
Seville was a Caddy
A Seville is a CADDY - Cadillac.
The Twins! 😎
Nowa days they doin it to themselves with Only Fans, The corn industry and Instagram. Great reaction!
A pimp my man a pimp. It's basically about underage sex trafficking when that wasn't the term back then
The pimps hated this song
I can imagine.
Can you do the sylvers - forever yours
Obviously Pimps hated this song. It was actually a thing back during the release of this song. A great message song about prostitution.
Didn't know you did this one. Such a beautiful song on a sad subject. So many girls are pimped out so a pimp can buy a car and such.
Smooth
Cadillac Seville.
Love you scotty/
Choon....
The Whispers.. late bloomers for the late 70s&80s.
