The Whispers - Love For Love (LP) (1983) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Formed in 1964 in Watts, California, U.S. based in Los Angeles. 

The original members were the texan twin brothers Wallace Scott and Walter Scott plus Gordy Harmon, Marcus Hutson and Nicholas Caldwell. In 1973 Gordy Harmon injured his larynx in a driving accident and was replaced by Leaveil Degree.

Love for Love is the fourteenth studio album by the American R&B/Soul vocal group the Whispers, released in 1983 by SOLAR Records.

The bouncy, irresistible “Tonight” gets this reissue off and flying. Originally released in 1983, Love for Love dissects, analyzes, and emotes on relationships via a solid set of love songs.
These nine meaty tunes include the spunky “Keep on Lovin’ Me,” a staple of their live show, and “Do They Turn You On,” a scintillating ballad written by Caldwell.

Here’s a tip: Go straight to the songs penned by Caldwell on Whispers’ albums, the guy writes gems; a Whispers album featuring Caldwell songs only is overdue.

The title track, “Had It Not Been for You,” and “Try It Again” are jazzy, piano-tinkling torchers that are even more enjoyable with your boo, a glass of wine, and soft lights.
