The Whispers emerged in 1963 in Los Angeles as an American R&B group which has maintained its reputation through its refined harmonies and elegant stage shows and extensive collection of soul and funk music. The musical foundation of the group came from twin brothers Wallace and Walter Scott who joined forces with Marcus Hutson and Nicholas Caldwell and Leaveil Degree. Through their combination of romantic ballads with danceable grooves the group built a devoted fan base that spanned different age groups.

The group gained national recognition during the late 1970s through their successful releases of “And the Beat Goes On” and “A Song for Donny” which demonstrated their refined vocal delivery and enduring musical compositions.
