The Whispers
Biography
The Whispers are a veteran R&B quintet with an impressive 23-year legacy of R&B hits. Formed in Los Angeles by twins Walter and Wallace Scott, Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson, and Gordy Harmon (who left in 1973), the Whispers turned up on the Dore label in 1964 with "I Was Born When You Kissed Me." In 1969, the quintet climbed the soul charts for the first time with "The Time Has Come" on Soul Clock, and they cracked the R&B Top Ten the next year with "Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong." They've remained hitmakers ever since for the labels Janus, Soul Train, and Solar, with smashes like the solid gold chart-topper "And the Beat Goes On" in 1980 and another number one urban contemporary hit, "Rock Steady," in 1987. After being their backbone and selling point since the group's inception, twin lead vocalists Walter and Wallace Scott took time out for solo careers in 1993, but remain with the Whispers. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide

true story - in the 80's I saw their show at a casino in Atlantic City. My table was right in front of the stage & I stared so hard at Leaveil (who I had a crush on) that he noticed and kept looking at me, sang to me and gave me a rose. The people at the next table were even talking about us and thought I was his "lady". I was such a groupie lol. Great show by the way.

If I had my way The Whispers would get an award from me every year, mainly the song Don't keep me waiting.

How can I listen to an entire soundtrack of the Whispers and/or pick my own songs I want to hear from the Whispers or any other artist, other than just picking an Artist and allowing Pandora to play whatever it selects. How do I select my own songs and especially if I don't know a title without seeing the selections of songs from that one Artist? Thanks
