The music world is mourning the loss of one of their own. Walter Scott, who rose to fame as a member of the legendary soul group, The Whispers, has died, this according to New York’s WBLS - FM.
As one of the co-founding members of the act, Scott, along with his twin brother, ‘Scotty’, gave us a string of hits in the late 70’s and early 80’s. One of their signature songs, “And The Beat Goes On,” would later be introduced to a younger audience, when Will Smith sampled it in his hit “Miami”. It also appeared in the video game, “GTA: Vice City”.
The Whispers saw top ten success on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987, with “Rock Steady.” Both of the previously mentioned songs topped the R&B Chart.
Among his accomplishments, was an induction into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, with The Whispers.
Scott was 81, at the time of his passing. His memory lives on through his music.
