The Whispers ~ And The Beat Goes On 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

The Whispers began with twin brothers Walter and Wallace Scott, who at the age of 5 performed professionally for the first time as the Scott Twins. They entered a talent show and met a fellow band, The Eden Trio with members Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson and Gordy Harmon and began doo wopping together. They agreed to form a band in 1964 and named themselves The Whispers after a suggestion by Lew Bedell of Dore Records who signed them and issued their first single "The Dip" which did not chart. Four years later they met producer/manager Dick Griffey who took them on as clients, scoring their first pop hit in 1969 with the "The Time Will Come". Harmon left in 1973 and was replaced by Leaveil Degree and this group was signed to Griffey's Soul Time label. The label changed name in 1979 to Solar Records (Sound Of Los Angeles Records). Their doo woppy vocals attracted the attention of Leon Sylvers who discovered a group named Dynasty who were labelmates. Sylvers brought the Whispers a song he has written, "And The Beat Goes On" which the group loved, but due to their failure to attract an audience were skeptical of its success. Boy were they wrong, it entered the R&B chart on January 19, 1980 and six weeks later and it spent five weeks at #1 R&B cementing their new sound giving them new life as successful R&B artists.
