Imagination (1980).
Review:
The Whispers scored big with the number two billboard R&B hit “It’s a Love Thing.” The rapidly paced single, seasoned with all the intangibles of a dance anthem, found a welcome mat on the pop charts as well, peaking at number 28. The second and only other single to chart was “I Can Make It Better.” Co-written by two members from Lakeside, this dance cut showcases Walt and Scotty urgently delivering sympathetic lyrics supported by a funky groove. It only managed to hold on at number 40 after ten weeks. This album retains three splendid ballads (“Say You,” “Girl I Need You,” and “Fantasy”) that never showed themselves on the charts. Imagination,” like the rest of this album, presses on in that uptempo vein with one appealing groove after another.[Craig Lytle - All Music Guide].
