R.I.P. Walter Scott


Walter Scott, co-founding member of the soul singing group, The Whispers, has died age 81...

They took a “slow and steady” path to stardom, but once they reached it, The Whispers became one of the most beloved soul music vocal groups of all time. Tonight we mourn the passing of group co-founder, Walter Scott, who died after a six month battle with cancer. He was 81.
Whispers Promotional Team member, Desirae L. Benson, provided SoulTracks with the following statement: “We all are incredibly heartbroken. It is with deep sadness that we confirm the passing of Walter Scott, beloved member of the legendary R&B group The Whispers. His voice, presence, and contributions helped shape a musical legacy that touched millions. Walter’s impact on the industry and in the hearts of fans will never be forgotten. Memorial details will be shared at a later date. Sending love and light to his family, friends, and all of the millions of fans around the world. We lost a legend!“

It is shameful that talented music legends basically must die to recieve airplay, especially when they sound better than everybody on the playlist.
