Walter Scott, a pivotal figure in the R&B group The Whispers, has passed away in Los Angeles at the age of 81 after a six-month cancer battle. He co-founded the group in the early 1960s alongside his twin brother and other members. While initially struggling to find commercial success, especially early on, the group achieved significant fame in the late 1970s with their self-titled album featuring the iconic track "And the Beat Goes On." The Whispers maintained a strong presence in the R&B and soul genres for decades, influencing many artists. Questlove honored Scott, recognizing his profound impact on 70s soul music.
Scott's contributions to the music industry through the Whispers shaped the sound of 70s soul music, earning him admiration and respect even until his passing.
The Whispers struggled initially in the 60s, but it was only in the late 70s with SOLAR Records that they found their breakthrough and enduring success.
