Lead singer Walter Scott of R&B band The Whispers died. He co-founded the group in 1963 with his twin brother Wallace. What were the best The Whispers songs? Their three biggest hits:

>And the Beat Goes On - 1979

>Rock Steady - 1987

>Lady - 1980

>Walter Scott, a co-founder of The Whispers, has passed. He was 81.

>Formed in the early 60s in Los Angeles, the Whispers struggled for more than a decade, achieving success. Founded by twin brothers Walter and Wallace (Scotty) Scott, Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson, and Leaveil Degree (who replaced departing member Gordy Harmon in 1973), the Whispers charted their first pop and R&B hit with “Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong” in 1970.

>Throughout the 70s, they recorded on the Don Cornelius/Dick Griffey “Soul Train” label where saw moderate success but gained a cult following for seductive slow jams such as “I Only Meant to Wet My Feet” (1972), and “Lady“ (1979).

>After Hutson and Caldwell passed away, the group continued as a trio and played to sold-out crowds across the globe.

Damn, RIP. The Whispers were never really huge but they were a consistent and reliable r&b chart presence for a surprisingly long time. They started before the british invasion and were having hits into the new jack swing era as middle aged men. It's a Love Thing is probably my favorite of the ones I've heard (shame Mike Love didn't cover it).
