The Whispers -- twin brothers Scotty and Walter Scott, and Leavell Degree – are an L.A,-based R&B group that had a string of Top 40 hits in the early ‘80s – like “And the Beat Goes On,” “It’s a Love Thing” and “Rock Steady.” But the group and its R&B success began more than a decade earlier.
In this episode of RPM45, we talk to the Scott twins about all that, and a lot more ...
- How they got started back in the early '60s, and the help they got from San Francisco DJ Sly Stone before he became a star in his own right.
- Who sparked their string of uptempo early '80s hits that were a departure from what they'd done before.
- How they - like many artists - failed to get fairly paid for their early successes, how they turned that around, and how today's younger artists are challenging the old system.
- How they continue to perform after 50+ years, despite the deaths of key members.
- How events in our country motivated their awesome new single -- "How Long". (Check it on YouTube at https://youtu.be/tHf3jiaQGHQ)
Thanks so much to Walter and Scotty for sharing with us!
