This album, i discovered only by accident while browsing thru a record store a few years back. The only song by them that I knew then was "Rock Steady" from the late 80's but when I heard this album, I was really amazed. I knew some of the songs here and my curiosity of how their version will sound turned into admiration. I still love the original versions but I also appreciate the way they interpreted it in this album. I find the songs soothing and also, very romantic. I even gave 2 copies of it as wedding gifts to my friends and they enjoyed it, too. Really great for easy listening.

who Knew from the days when The Whispers did La&BabyFaces Rock steady that they would be recording Babyfaces Song Book? this is a Gem.Babyface has been the Most Important Writer&Producer over the past Decade and so it's only fitting that a Great Group Like The Whispers are choosen to sing his songs.and they turn them out.this is a very solid Disc from strat to finish I Hope there is a Part two.

I never thought that the Whispers would do an album of Babyface's many hits. But this album contains many of my favorites that he produced and wrote. Some surprises are Can We Talk, Exhale, My My My, I Love You Babe and others. I like the funky You're Makin' Me High! Don't know why they didn't do an updated version of Rock Steady, the song that LA and Babyface had a hit with them in 1987 and returned them back to top status as a group. But they selected a solid 12 songs that matched with their vocals and harmonies. A very dynamic and smartly done tribute to Babyface as a major music force!
