The Whispers are a veteran R&B quintet with an impressive 23-year legacy of 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," and they cracked the R&B Top Ten the next year with "Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong." They've remained hitmakers ever since with smashes like "And the Beat Goes On" and "Rock Steady." In 2009, they released Thankful. The Whispers continue to tour and draw big audiences.
