The Whispers - Rock Steady

[tpj1965]

Formed in LA in 1964, the Whispers have certainly taken a “slow and steady” career course in which they have quietly become one of the most successful modern soul groups. They continued to be a mid level charting act throughout the 70s but gained momentum toward the end of the decade with tha album Headlights and memorable hits like “Olivia,” “All The Way” and a cover of Bread’s “Make It With You.”

The 80s brought a string of monster soul chart success for the Whispers, though crossover success was more limited. The group appeared to lose steam in the second half of the decade, but a hot dance tune written by then-unknown Deele member Babyface brought the Whispers back, as the excellent “Rock Steady” shot to the top of Pop, Soul and Dance charts.

Did they produce the music themselves, or was there someone behind the scenes?
