"Rock Steady," the Whispers (6/13/87)
If I'm not mistaken, this was L.A. (Reid) and Babyface's first #1 as producers, which is proof that everyone's gotta start somewhere - and it's usually not the best place. This is identikit production, a vapid song, and a vocal group well past its prime grabbing desperately for one last hit - which they certainly got in this "jammin' oldies" perennial. Ick. D+
