@loughneagh: The Whispers – 🎵 I Only Meant to Wet My Feet – 1972 He only meant to dip a toe into love. Then he found himself much deeper than he'd ever expected. That's the lovely little surprise inside this early Whispers record. Listen to the way they tell it. The warm lead vocal, those harmonies easing in around him, and not a voice trying to overpower the others. There's such a sweetness to it. Back in May 1972, Cash Box noticed something special about this very single. The magazine praised the group's gentle approach, saying their singing suited their name perfectly. The record reached No. 27 on the American R&B chart, years before their big dancefloor hits introduced The Whispers to another generation. But that beautiful early sound was already there. Were you listening to The Whispers back in these early years, or did their later hits lead you to discover recordings like this? #TheWhispers #IOnlyMeantToWetMyFeet #1970sSoul #SweetSoul #SoulMusic
