It's a shame I can only hit the like button only once.

Very sad song but the Whispers sung it to it's a great sad song.

This Whispers Track has The Trammps written all over it, I love it.

Long time since I heard this song, think I was about 18 when it came out. Takes me back to my first serious boyfriend.

I remember this song from years ago. I knew it was a sad song but I loved the chorus so much that I never really knew the lyrics. I just knew Walter and Wallace sounding good doing the lead. I actually remember seeing this performance on Soul Train. I forgot Walter and Scotty didn't always have mustaches though.

[SheLovesSmoothJazz]

What?!! No mustaches?!!

[JLJ310]

@SheLovesSmoothJazz They didn't grow their "Burt Reynolds" until later on.....

[barnesfam]

Wow. I didn't know Soul Train had a label!

[soulsista1220]

They don't even look like themselves without those thick mustaches. Lol

[JLJ310]

@soulsista1220 That's how they looked in the '60s back when they did "The Dip"

Boy, do the twins look young.

I remember this song from my high school days. Walter and Scotty Scott are tough. Since I found this song about two days ago, I'v e listened to the video probably 7 or 8 times.

Thank you for adding this. I have vague memories of this playing on a 45 Christmas of 73. I thank my mother for my love of music! She passed it on to me who passed it on to my son. End result, he's on his 4th albulm!

This was part of their great Philly soul period. They did this LP (Bingo) and One For The Money with the MFSB musicians in the early days of disco.

So Happy.... thank you very much....

I run into a Soul Train Lp I paid 1 buck on a local Flea market.

I was 11 and in Italy you hadn't the chance to listen to a lot of good, black, overseas music...

My life changed. Had to wait the 1980 to see the faces of Walter and Wallace on an import LP with their name and "And the Beat Goes On" as main hit. (read below...)

[StefaniaCastelli]

Later on, I bought all the old vinyl LPs (that I actually save with extreme care) and try to find all the Whispers TV shows (awa the other "jewels" at Solar as Dynasty, Shalamar, Lakeside, Carrie Lucas, Midnight Star, Collage etc..)

Is a sort of "falling in love" with soul, funk and jazz that shot me down when I was a child...

When I'm down, I think to Maurice White, Walter and Wallace, Aretha or Marvin and I feel blessed.... :-)

So, when Pasadenas recorded "Tribute" I jumped for joy....

[hussar01]

Been looking for this record for a million years! Thanks for posting it and thanks You Tube for letting me watch as well as hear, great song

[cjp0349]

What a fantastic post !! thanks Stefania

The Whispers are, and have always been a hot and classy act. Their fancy foot work was always something to behold, too. Even though Walter & Scott were two individuals, their voices were one. Amazing group.
