The Whispers – Imagination

Imagination captures The Whispers at the dawn of the 1980s Solar Records era — polished production, tight harmonies, and a smooth blend of dance-floor soul and romantic slow jams.

The standout hit:

• “It’s A Love Thing” — a major R&B chart success and staple of early 80s soul playlists.
• Other strong cuts include:
• “I Can Make It Better”
• “Girl I Need You”
• “Say You (Would Love For Me Too)”

Produced during Solar’s peak period, this album blends disco’s rhythmic pulse with the emerging “quiet storm” sound that would define much of early 80s R&B.

A must-have for collectors of Solar Records, Shalamar-era soul, or classic Whispers material.
