The American R&B band The Whispers first came together in Watts, California in
1963. The five vocalists were led by twin brothers Wallace and Walter Scott, and
the quintet was rounded out by Nicholas Caldwell, Gordy Harmon, and Marcus
Hutson. Encouraged by Sly Stone after some early singles, they relocated to San
Francisco in the mid-1960s and scored their first chart success with 1969’s “The
Time Will Come”, a number 17 R&B hit. Further top 40 R&B hits followed including
1970’s Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong” and 1971’s Your Love Is So Doggone Good”.
