Whispers, The - Its A Love Thing
Review by Isaias L
The album "It's A Love Thing" by The Whispers is a classic R&B album that was released in 1981. This album features some of the best songs of the era, and it's a must-have for any fan of the genre.
The album starts off with the title track "It's A Love Thing," which is a smooth and soulful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The Whispers' signature harmonies are on full display here, and it's a great introduction to the group's sound.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Say Yes," "Can't Do Without Love," and "I Love You." These songs showcase The Whispers' ability to create catchy, upbeat tracks that still have a lot of heart.
