"Whispers (Gettin' Louder)" #11 12/10/1966

A comeback record for the legendary Jackie Wilson, one of the top R&B singers of the late 50's and early 60's. He hadn't had a hit since "Baby Workout" in 1963. Backing was provided by Motown's Funk Brothers studio musicians, who were moonlighting since this was on a competing label. They appeared uncredited here out of respect for Jackie...and to not offend their boss, Berry Gordy.
