The Whispers are a R&B / dance vocal group from Los Angeles, California. They formed in 1964 in Los Angeles. The original members included the twin brothers, Scotty and Wallace Scott, along with Gordy Harmon, Marcus Hutson and Nicholas Caldwell. In 1973 Harmon was replaced by former Friends of Distinction member Leaveil Degree. The group scored many hits on the R&B and Billboard Hot 100 charts throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and they hit #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1980 with “And the Beat Goes On” / “Can You Do the Boogie” / “Out the Box”.
The group’s sound was marked by Scotty Scott’s fluid, melodic voice which featured on virtually all of their hits. Scotty’s sound was so distinctive and likeable that, in his heyday, he was as recognizable as such noted R&B lead singers as Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers.[citation needed]
In 1987 they enjoyed a career resurgence when “Rock Steady” hit #1 on the R&B charts, and became their first Top 10 success on the Hot 100 (it reached #7). The Whispers also founded the Black Tie record label.
