'Walter Scott, who with his twin brother Wallace “Scotty” founded the legendary R&B group The Whispers, has died at the age of 81, after a six-month bout with cancer, his family confirmed. He passed away surrounded by his family in the Northridge neighborhood of Los Angeles.'

RIP Walter. Another one of greats has sadly left us. So many great songs. Unfortunately, most people only know It's A Love Thing and And The Beat Goes on, but there was so much more. I particularly like this Gary Taylor penned song from 1987.

Congrats to those who saw them live. I never got the chance. Their last visit to the UK was about 8 years ago.

The Whispers had a huge discography across many decades, with great music in each. They makes for great home listening in all eras, possibly so many releases and successful they are perhaps less appreciated than equivalents such as The Dells. I have a double CD of the Janus era that covers five years and is all great. Then there is the Solar era and smooth Soul that followed. Plus the 60s Dore tracks. RIP and thank you.
