The Whispers - On Impact

[ondrin2556]

definitely an example of some sick use of analog synthesizers. fantastic.

[upInCaLI1]

I heard the Hook before..9th's dope af!

[joshyxpoo]

Someone tell me what the sample part is saying,

[lac2500]

@joshyxpoo I woke up in heaven with the daybreak, and my heart's been through an earthquake

[jewishdad]

Those are some 80's lookin negroes

[ThugDrama]

In 9th's sample, the chorus is......... I woke up in heaven with the daybreak, and my hearts been through an earthquake. Google me.

[94amilton]

Can someone please tell me what is he saying?....good song though lol.( slow down)

[zdzbzrz]

Around that time, all these groups moved towards a more "New Wave" sound, and the Whispers did too; for my greatest pleasure.I'm sure this album is overlooked,in comparison with the preceding 1983 album "Love for Love" . "Love for Love, in my opinion, contains too much slows/ballads ; but I -personally- prefer rythm; hence my preference for 1984's "So Good"

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

Heavy Simmons drums beats from 1984, plus bass synhesizers ...The style of the mid-1980s ! (and the unmistakable signature of Leon Sylvers III)

[MyJunior1975]

@VintageSoundsNumber1 If I'm not mistaken, Leon Sylvers also produced the debut album for the short lived group Krystol the same year, right? They were extrememly underrated.

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

@MyJunior1975

Yeah...I believe you are right about that ... I'm not much a fan of that group, but in the sound of Krystol , there are obvious influences of Leon Sylvers style ... I guess he might have been involved in the production of this album...

[Vinylats]

A goooood thought, 9th !

[malaga77]

9th is a f*** genius !!

[TornadoWarning]

When I heard this I was like Eddie Murphy playing the guy in the barbershop in "Coming To America" .

"Aha!......Aha!"

Crate diggin' is so much fun.

[SlimBoi2013]

I think he said I woke up in heaven with a big break.....Im not sure but 9th killed it

[sonep511]

@TheCosmicAssassin I think it is " I woke up in heaven with my baby"...just guessing

[julioq]

9th wonder is amazing.

[SixRonin]

Oh and thanks for upping this.

[SixRonin]

The Whispers, this is a killer track probably underrated 

[soulchildsacomin]

@SixRonin

It is underated indeed (probaly better sung by Janet Jackson or Shalamar), but its good for The Whispers, after givin' it a second listen. Leon Sylvers was one of the best black music producers in the 80s along with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Kashif, The System, Prince, and Quincy Jones. This song has potential for a single and video, but it probaly was'nt released because the new wave sound sounded too commercial for The Whispers.

[Niwde8411]

9th is a genius.

[rayss02815]

@Niwde8411 say word
