Take a trip down memory lane
The Whispers 'Rock Steady'
The year is 1987. “The Simpsons” cartoon short is shown for the first time, Aretha Franklin is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and The Whispers’ ‘Rock Steady’ is “zoomin' up the charts”. Released seven years after their classic ‘And the Beat Goes On’, ‘Rock Steady’ was an obvious progression from their disco roots. Produced by Antonio “L.A” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, the songwriting duo behind classics from Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey, the track was always going to be R&B gold.
