Just Gets Better with Time is the 16th studio album by American R&B/Soul group The Whispers. It was released on April 9, 1987 via Capitol/SOLAR Records. This album features their highest charting pop single, "Rock Steady," which peaked inside the top 10 at number 7. The song also reached number 1 on the U.S. R&B chart.

Four more singles were released into the following year. Although none of these additional singles brought further pop success, with the follow-up single "Special F/X" only charting in the UK (peaking at #69), the group maintained a strong presence on the R&B chart. The album's title track, "Just Gets Better with Time," reached number 12, and "In the Mood"—long a quiet storm radio staple—charted four spots lower at number 16. The fifth and final single, 1988's "No Pain, No Gain" reached #74 on the R&B chart, while landing at number 81 in the UK.

Despite the relative Hot 100 chart failure of the follow-ups to "Rock Steady," the album itself was a strong seller; it charted highly in the U.S. (#22 on the Billboard Top 200 chart—their second-highest showing there) while reaching #3 at R&B. It is RIAA-certified platinum.
