[georgethehands]

Such an infectious beat and all for the right reasons?

love to see some modern day tune as effective and catchy as this beauty.

All time favorite band !

[ekpp60]

ONE OF MY CRUISING SONGS MANY YEARS AGO CRUISING DOWN WHITTIER & SUNSET BLVD,THANK'S FOR POSTING IT!!

[SPOKKSS]

Sono d'accordo con te 3811 liberis (anche se è un anno fa) il R&B ed il funfunky di adesso non ha niiente a che vedere con la robetta di adesso.

una musicalità eccezzionale e sopratutto una trasmissione di positività che neanche i filosofi della musica parlano o hanno capito!

MITICI WHISPERS!!!

[buffa49]

i like it .... super THE WHISPERS and PRELUDE . thanks

[Spartah3ad]

POKA - LONELY NIGHTS

[mrstevemarr]

@Spartah3ad !!!!!

[Capulus10]

oh..I am glad to have been from a generation of REAL soul music..not the manufactured automatons of today's plastic techno driven crap..this song is so good it makes me cry tears of joy..!!

[mrstevemarr]

@Capulus10 i recognize what your saying, but ironically 30% of today's music is sampled from the 70's and 80's

[oiyabastard]

THIS GREAT STUFF MAKES ME REALIZE THAT WHITE TRASH OBAMA IS WITHOUT A SOUL AND HAS NO SOOOUL!! BUSH CONTINUED , :( YOUTUBE RON PAUL,

[ricoblesed]

OMG so much truth this new artist are nothing, compare to the old school

[indtechnics]

Very comical video, fantastic beat and groovy dance moves....eishhh!! life is good.

[fgoodwin8578]

So many great songs about telephones and operators -- cell phones have made those wonderful old songs obsolete. Will we ever see a great R&B song about a Blackberry or an iPhone? PUHLEEEZE!!

[BabloPicaso]

soooo great music they made in every way. good old dancingtimes...chilled out in club-discotheques all over germany. thx for uploading this lovely memory! :-)

[MrDenver1955]

make's your head move.. love it!!

[MrDenver1955]

makes your head move,love it!

[AQJONES2798]

"The Whispers" have given us some magical, and wonderful music for years! Here's hoping the GOOD "LORD" will continue to bless them with some more? Thank you guys, for your undying love of music that you've given us! You are loved beyond words! Also, this song 'ROCKS'!

[Spit1990]

Holy crap this is ill!

[55desertvet]

wow..cool beans

[55desertvet]

wow



[calisaetia]

I love how depressing songs were so up beat back in those days.

[genobibb]

This is The Whispers most underrated song. I use to play this on a regular basis on my radio show, back in the day

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

This reminds me of the telephone boxes we used to have in France, in the eighties;...just the same kind ! N.B. : these sport suits ! :-D

[rvphotography]

This is an emergency... I am locked in a phonebooth with my twinbrother. :-)

Strange video...but great tune from the 80's.

[blackpoint59]

thiss rockkkkk

[Dashland13]

This would be a cool song for a commercial for that Vit C company EMERGEN-C ..lol

[MusicLova84]

[bee52mitch]

Everything from the 70's 80's were good, be it FUNK (now called Disco) R&B, Rock, Country The only rap song was Rapper's Delight.

[Bigsaintz]

I DONT MISS THIS KIND OF MUSIC , I STILL LIVE IT , TILL THE WHEEL'S FALL OFF HOMIE!!

[RIPRICKJAMES]

@Bigsaintz I feel ya brother

[Bigsaintz]

I STILL CRUISE BLASTING THIS SONG ON NICE SUNNY WEEKEND'S!! THERE'S NOTHING LIKE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC!!

[free2bpoppie]

Style and talent, don't count for much today in music. We are being fed a steady diet of musical-feces!

[mmhh7499]

Has anybody noticed how funky Leon Sylvers is with a minimal amount of plucking?...his plucks are in strategic places......youngsters take note, there are lots of ways to be funky on a bass....thumpin' and pluckin' is just ONE way........

[Feralgirl6]

I miss funk! I miss it SO MUCH!!!

[789cutie987]

love it!

[alexisthemanandrocks]

it sounds alot like The Sylvers - Im Getting Over

[aishaparker]

The twins look like Lamont Sanford. HAHAHAHAHA !!!

[3811iberis]

This is one of my favorite tracks, of many, by this fabulous quintet, so melodic, with that funky bass line, and smooth, soulful vocals. It just captures their trademark Solar Records, uptempo sound that the great Leon Sylvers III established back in the day, when you heard their music, you just knew it was them. I hate to say it, but future R&B music will never resonate with any of us old R&B heads again, like this music did, timeless 80's R&B, and video...

[MrJackjosh]

i wished you performed in moscow...commies!

[ukplayers]

ha que c'est bon d'écouter de la bonne musique ! la classe !!! c'est pas toutes ces merdes qui passe actuellement

[PaTudie]

Aren't they the cutest guys you ever saw?? I LOVE all of them. The twins are so cute i can't stand it!!!! And to think I was in the elevator with scotty or walter (don't know which!) and couldn't speak!  All I could say was....."I love you"..He said......."thank you" The he went off to his room and said to me......"have a good evening" I went inside and peed on myself and knew I would never have this time again.....ever. I thought about going to his door.....but I was too shy.

[PaTudie]

I want to MARRY THE TWINS!!!!

[willowseeker]

@PaTudie LOL

[dp100eboggan]

Somthing romantic about havin the operator call a broad back in the days. Do we even still have operators?

[chocotacojewboy]

911 is a joke in your town so git up a git git git down, 911 is joke in your town

[Meela234]

These were the days when artists real talent were profiled and not about who spent the most money on their videos. I love the Whispers

[Hazard8089]

Haha I know a song that sampled this :)

[deejmd]

@Hazard8089 yea "Poka - Lonely Nights" is awesome!

[MRBIGPHIL54]

this my very favorite from the whispers!!!!

[DRAWONTV]

[PaTudie]

AWESOME!!~!!

[cbjrcher]

Oh I loved the low budget video days

[dp100eboggan]

@cbjrcher Low money = high creativity!!!

[bustedbojangles]

@dp100eboggan very true. much respect!

[blkshepherd]

[talitharubes]

Always Legends! x2 sets of twins...Talents Lengends!...brother luv..they dont beat real art anymore,,,Kiwi Auckland love at u ta for the Post !...Bro!

[ggguzman]

that dudes beard looks unreal

[nekidbob]

Why can't we go back to the good old days when we were entertained by real artist's ? Instead of some of this crap we're hearing on the radio today. Don't get me wrong Kem, Maxwell, Mary J., and Jill Scott are O.K. but they can't hold a candle to this. "LETS ROLL BACK THE CLOCK TO A FUNKIER FOLKS PLEASE"

[dwightddddd]

@nekidbob I agree, music is total shite now.

Please bring back the real music like this.

Thanks to the uploader.

[oiyabastard]

@nekidbob the reason?? we are being dumbed down by products like aspartame msg television and the music industry, people are being poisoned to become malleable (controlled) and how the hell can we groove if we are poisoned? remember columbine? those kids were on big phama poison riltilan and other mood altering chem the want in us, WE never killed people in school , like that video games are violent . JUST LOOK UP ILLUMINATI ON YOUTUBE, THERES YOUR ANSWER RON PAUL 2012

[georgethehands]

@nekidbob I second that friend. Such a song is depressing but the Whispers made it into such a happy tune.

If you can listen to this without moving a part of your body, then you aren't human!

[robertricardo0]

I remember seeing the Whispers at a benefit at the Berkeley community, they tore this song up!!! They were in rare form all that night...

[NoWayzSafe]

I remember seeing this very video on a classic eppy of Soul Train. The Whispers were definitely consistent hitmakers throughout the '80s. Non stop!!! True legends.

[karolynruffin1]

When was the last time I have seen a telephone booth. MMMmmm don't know.

[dp100eboggan]

@karolynruffin1 When was the last time you saw a phone booth that actually worked? I know it's been years for me!

[larodger]

This is great! I don't remember this song specifically. But, it is is how they used make great songs with beautiful harmonies, good lyrics, etc. It had it all! Thanks for posting!!

[julioigna71]

[Walterdeeee]

WOW WOW great time in the 80`s

[genobibb]

My favorite Whispers jam, classic lyrics in this song. "Please interupt the line, he trying to beat my time". This is what we had to do back then, have the operator interupt the line, there was no call waitin back then lol. " I don't care about the charge I'm suffering from a broken heart classic lyrics.

[AQJONES2798]

THANKS for posting! Absolutely great. Love it at 2:40 when the guy in red takes the phone! GREAT, GREAT video! Thanks YouTube for ALL you provide for us!

[StratsRgreat]

You got that right....one of my favs and I haven't heard it in years.

[70s80s]

What a treat it is to see music and videos as fun as they used to be! :D

[1980Triumph]

thank goodness for youtube and companies that realize uploading quality videos is a great promotion. Its a damn shame some of these videos haven't seen the light of day in 30 years or more in some cases.

Good job Unidisc

[oholm08]
