in the raw è una bomba,notare il giro di basso che solo gli whispers sapevano fare (va bè anche i kool & g. e gli skyy) ma loro sono dei veri signori che rispecchiano un ritmo che solo i neri sanno fare, guardate la loro sincronia e ehehehe è vero shyriu54 (che occhio di falco) quello con la barba sul 21 sec. stava per cadere e alla nostra faccia mica si sono fatti scrupoli per tagliare il video.ECCEZZZIONALI!!!!

[blaakhawk]

[tyrese3745]

Reminds me of New York City in 1982.

[jeremyshockey234]

great, great music.

[TheSunnyStar]

4:57-5:06 I get giddy when old-school artists rap!

[3811iberis]

Another fantastic R&B dance track an video from these 5 gentlemen, a funky groove, smooth bass line, and those soul laced, harmonious vocals. It must've been a blast to be them back in the day when this was done, they look like they're having so much fun doing this video, this is 80's R&B, at its finest, from one of the finest R&B groups in music history...

[TRAPPATUBE]

Thumbs up if you think one of them twins look like lamont sanford from sanford and sons...lol

[oldschldiva]

This 1 of my favorite Whispers songs!

[64spenser]

I really really love this track. I remember it from my late teens, but now I understand the lyrics and I'm still dancing to it.

[oneluv72]

Leon Sylvers!!!! Production.....CLASSIC!!

[bourgeoisbrats]

@oneluv72 You know dats right! Leon Sylvers III is "the original" that a whole lot of copies (LA/Babyface, Kashif, etc.) was made from! Lol! I'm not saying they copied him, but he was obviously a big influence on their stuff, tempo and composition-wise. His basslines always git yo head bobbin'. Even the ones he played on the Sylvers records, waaaaaay back in the day :-)

[Djrealign]

solar records production was so positive and upbeat!

[chuckpetti]

Now this is a Jam!!!!!!!

[demonkai76]

[sagat4]

Smoking hot

[Londen10]

This was when me and my Q Dog was in heavens bless. I miss him and would love to see him. I wonder how Mr. Hugo Boss is doing. This was the man of my dreams..Mr. R.L. Coleman CPA, Attorney, how are you doing on the East Coast. We use to dance to this record, and then make some mad love. He was the MAN OF MY LIFE I was just to dame not ready to settle down at the time and he was. That's life. Can't go back only forward. But it nice sometimes to think about someone who you really treasured.

[beamerman25]

pimps

[soulburst]

even the dancers were on point and scotty doing the gigalo

[28n10a60kjs]

r u sure its from 87?

[soulchildsacomin]

@28n10a60kjs

Unidisc did'nt do their research. This video came out in early 1982.

[28n10a60kjs]

@soulchildsacomin i am an 50 year old human.thats why im not want to be unhöflich.but for soul music i have to get in in the mood.right now i dont feel like.is it okay when i write to you when io fell myself sosooo..moody?thank you.

[stewbie59]

...and NO CUSSIN! This is REAL stuff I grew up on.

[mahoney8787]

Notice @ 0:20, the bearded Whisper almost tripped LOL!!! But ya'll still my boys Scottie and company :-)

[gr444444]

I feel so sorry for those who did not get to experience the 70's and 80's music. My live has been so enriched from groups like the Whispers.

[kbw1970]

If this ain't one of the dopest songs ever made I don't know what is! This was popular in late 1981 along with Maze's "Running Away", Rick James's "Super Freak" and Junior's "Mama Used to Say". Now if you're an old school head then you would kick this garbage that is released today to the curb!

[soulchildsacomin]

@kbw1970

Don't forget Skyy's "Call Me" and O'Bryan's "The Gigolo" which were both top five hits in late 1981/early 1982. I think "The Gigolo" would've made a cool video if it was released and if it did, it would've been #1 on the charts. The video for "Call Me" was way ahead of its time for 1981 (simular to Brothers Johnsons' "Stomp" and Heatwave's "Gangters of the Groove")

[kbw1970]

@soulchildsacomin Oh yeah, those first two songs you mentioned definitely fit that category. I never knew why O'Bryan was as underrated as he was but you're right, that would have been a great video. I think that was Skyy's first major hit and they ruled the 80's! But two more songs come to mind in the late 1981 early 1982 era and that was SOS Band's "High Hopes" and Evelyn Champagne King's "Love Come Down". I still rock those joints to this day!

[soulchildsacomin]

@kbw1970

You are so right about Evelyn King's "Love Come Down." It was produced by Kashif (one of my favorite 80s soul producers behind Jimmy Jam/Tery Lewis, Leon Sylvers III, and The System). We all know about that tropical video too. "High Hopes" was very underated and it was produced by Leon Sylver's brother, Ricky (formally of The Sylvers) and was written by Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis (their first charted single under their name). No video though, but it was a top 30 hit in early 1983.

[soulchildsacomin]

@kbw1970

"Check It Out" by Dynasty was one of the greatest soul songs to close 1982 with. I'm trying to see if they made a video for it (it was also Dynasty's last hit single at #39 on the R&B charts). Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Prince, and Luther Vandross dominated the R&B charts by the end of 82" Don't forget "Jump To It" by Aretha Franklin and "Dance Floor" by Zapp. "So Fine" by Howard Johnson, "Changes" by Imagination, and "In My System" by The System (other great 1982 closers).

[lanawonders]

I heard that class of 82, this is still my motto today "in the raw, show me what you made of"

[chrisporter61]

this was a top ten hit on the R&B chart in April of 1982 and to this day a very fun song to listen to,,,,,,love it

[vibe333]

[SnippetChaos]

@vibe333 Something about this screams Daft Punk.

[Aangeljazz]

THIS IS MY LICK!!

[Logic1914]

WOW....how I love this song AND this video. I am so glad that I was alive to experience this music when it first came out. Because I can immediately tell the difference today between REAL music and PURE GARBAGE!!

[jfgoudreau]

@Logic1914 My god do I agree with you.I am 55, and beleive me.Real music was in the 70th's with groups like this...

[Logic1914]

@jfgoudreau EXACTLY!!!  Which is the express reason why I don't listen to the music of today. STRAIGHT GARBAGE!!

[moriola]

@Logic1914

[memyself2k]

I love their music under Leon F. Sylvers.

I'm not disrespecting them, but don't the twins look like "Lamont Sanford"? LOL!

[LONGSKEET]

@memyself2k

a lot of people looked like Lamont Sanford at that time!

[memyself2k]

@LONGSKEET LOL! I'm a "Big Dummy!"

[noelfr9]

The Whispers and Leon Sylvers III created magic together. Their songs including In The Raw are timeless.

[corporatehustler1]

WHISPERS WAS A PROLIFIC BAND IN THE 80s - SOME MIGHT ARGUE THAT THEY WERE A BIT AHEAD OF THEIR TIME, JUST LIKE SOS AND GAP BAND.

[NoWayzSafe]

SOLAR was and is still all a class itself. The Whispers were very consistent hitmakers during the 1980s. This gem here is such a prime example as the unique chemistry the group and Leon Sylvers III shared.
