Yesterday, today, and tomorrow describes how long the Whispers’ music will live on in the hearts of Americans. Known for their smooth soulful ballads throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and the new Millennium, the Whispers remain one of the premier R&B groups to ever grace the stage. Their musical success can be attributed to a careful balance of R & B, disco, jazz, and pop to the delight of millions of fans. 

One of R&B music’s most beloved and consistently popular vocal groups, The Whispers, began their legendary and timeless career in 1963 producing a string of hits over the last four decades such as “And the Beat Goes On," “Rock Steady,” “A Song For Donny,” and “Lady.”  They emerged as the leading romantic singers of their generation, racking up one gold album after another and charting numerous R&B hits. They are arguably the most celebrated R&B balladeers of their generation and still make women swoon with their silky yet forceful tenors of twins Walter and Scotty. In the new millennium the group still performs around the world to thousands of loyal fans.

 Their music has been heard on movie sound tracks; such as “Waiting to Exhale,” “Madea’s Family Reunion,” and “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” They sang the title track on Jay Leno’s movie soundtrack, “Collision Course”. The group has not made any personnel changes and still consists of Walter Scott, Wallace Scott, Nicholas Caldwell, and Leaveil Degree.  They are one of only a few “old school” groups that can boast of having over 40 years in the industry with a worldwide fan base, maintaining their vocal dominance and original members.

 On September 23, 2003, The Whispers’ four decades of accomplishments were acknowledged when they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.  On June 12, 2005, The San Francisco Chapter of the Grammy Awards presented the Whispers with the prestigious Governors Award, the highest honor bestowed by an Academy Chapter. They were also inducted into the Bay Area Blues Society Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2007, The Black Music Academy of America selected the Whispers to receive their “Living Legends” award.

 They produced a new CD in 2006, an independent product of their newly formed corporation Satin Tie Productions, a masterpiece entitled, “For Your Ears Only”, that sold out at retailers across the nation and is being lauded by many as the CD of the year and of the decade. The CD has received accolades from Billboard magazine, Jet Magazine, and fans and DJs across the country. It charted on Billboard’s Top R&B 100 in September 2006, evidence that the Whispers just get better with time. In 2007, they released their first ever DVD of a live concert entitled, “The Whispers Live From Las Vegas”. A CD of the same concert was also released on their Satin Tie Label.
