I have been listening to this album by Walter and Scotty Scott on and off ever since 1993. I Want To Know Your Name and Sticks and Stones got some airplay, but the entire album is very good. The funky numbers like my favorite, Open Door, are still potent. The smooth ballads, like one of Babyface's best written songs, With All My Heart, are well displayed here. And to answer the last reviewer, this was a side project that the Scott brothers decided to record. One of the members of Portrait produced some very superb songs here in Move Your Body and Open Door. The vocals are fabulous on every song. There was one song, Heaven, that later appeared on The Whispers' 1995 album, so one must ask if the duo sang it or the Whispers sang it. One of the most underrated, but yet fabulous R&B albums to come out in the '90s.

This was a great album. Very overlooked. Has some good love makin songs. dirty dancin,heaven , rest my lips. good songs. All of them are listenable. I want to know your name is by far the best remake ive ever heard.

I don't know why this album is not credited to all the Whispers, but I do know that it picks off where 1990's More Of The Night leaves off. My Brother's Keeper again employs a possy of young, energetic producers. Every song is a winner as the brothers are in top form. They share lead vocals on every song although Scotty really has the better voice. You'll love the naughty Dirty Dancin' and how it cleverly transitions into Heaven. For good old fashioned fun, nothing can touch the remake of I Want To Know Your Name. The featured players include Portrait (they've never done anything as good as Open Door), Babyface, and Gerald Albright.

This is a good CD for all the Whisper faithful. You won't be dissapointed by this product at all.

My favorite cut is " Rest my lips" which was written by the great song writer Gary Taylor. This song is so mature,and talks about a man's emotions in a way few ever do. This song alone was worth the price of the CD. The cut "Sticks and Stones" is another outstanding cut that's just a straight jam to get you up and going!

I could go on and on but Whispers fans know what to expect. So if you haven't heard this CD and your a Whispers fan, this one will fit right in with all the other great CD's these fellas have done.
