CD ReviewsA Great Collection Of Work Carl Holman | New York, NY | 07/03/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Definitive Whatnauts CD include the entire three albums recorded by the group on Stang Records in the seventies plus a handful of unrelease tracks. In a nutshell the Whatnauts sound consisted of a skyscraping falsetto and a David Ruffin like tenor. They excelled on slowies; but message songs were their forte too." Help is on the way Olle Stahlberg | Stockholm, Sweden | 07/27/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "I was hit by "Help is on the way" back in 1981 when it was new. Not until 20 years later I was downloading old school soul/funk and came across the song by chance. I had never heard of the Whatnauts but the recording was released by Harlem Records, 1981. It is a great song with a newer sound than some of the samples on this site. Same style as Fat Larry's Band's 'Act like you know'. Great message: 'Mama never said life would be easy... Help is on the way. All you've got to do is pray." Soulful lyrics but funky enough to make you shake."
