Overview

Imagination is the tenth studio album by American R&B/soul vocal group the Whispers, released on November 30, 1980, by SOLAR Records. Overview The album contains two singles which made the U.S. Hot R&B charts: "It's a Love Thing", which peaked at number two in early 1981; and "I Can Make it Better". Both singles were produced by SOLAR Records' main in-house producer Leon F. Sylvers III. Also featured in the album is "Up on Soul Train", the theme song used on the syndicated television series Soul Train from 1980 to 1983; it was composed by the creator, producer, and host of Soul Train, Don Cornelius. The music video to the single "It's a Love Thing" is notable for having an early appearance from then-unknown actress Daphne Maxwell Reid. As of September 2016, the song appears in a L'Oreal commercial for Preference Mousse Absolue.

Notable quotes

“An active imagination may find a bad tendency arising out of every transaction between imperfect morals.”
— Edward Hall Alderson, B., Brownlow v. Egerton (1854), 23 L. J. Rep. Part 5 (N. S.) Ch. 365.
“C'est très bien de copier ce qu'on voit, c'est beaucoup mieux de dessiner ce que l'on ne voit plus que dans son mémoire. C'est une transformation pendant laquelle l'ingéniosité collabore avec la mémoire. Vous ne reproduisez que ce qui vous a frappé, c'est-à-dire le nécessaire.”
— It is very good to copy what one sees; it is much better to draw what you can't see any more but is in your memory. It is a transformation in which imagination and memory work together. You only reproduce what struck you, that is to say the necessary.
“[H]e who has the most imagination should be regarded as having the most intelligence or genius, for all these words are synonymous; and again, only by a shameful abuse [of terms] do we think that we are saying different things, when we are merely using different words, different sounds, to which no idea or real distinction is attached.”
— Julien Offray de La Mettrie, Man a Machine (1747)
“The true function of logic,... as applied to matters of experience,... is analytic rather than constructive; taken a priori, it shows the possibility of hitherto unsuspected alternatives more often than the impossibility of alternatives which seemed prima facie possible. Thus, while it liberates imagination as to what the world may be, it refuses to legislate as to what the world is.”
— Bertrand Russell, Our Knowledge of the External World.
“An uncommon degree of imagination constitutes poetical genius; a talent which, although chiefly displayed in poetical composition, is also the foundation (though not precisely in the same manner) of various other arts.”
— Dugald Stewart, Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind, Vol. I (London: A. Strahan and T. Cadell, 1792), Ch. VII: "Of Imagination", § I; p. 479.
“I build nought els but castles in the ayre.”
— Thomas Watson, Poems. Arber's reprint, p. 82. See also Lyly, Mother Bombie, Act V, scene 3.
