Biography

The Whispers are a veteran r&b quintet with an impressive 23-year legacy of r&b hits. Formed in Los Angeles by twins Walter and Wallace Scott, Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson, and Gordy Harmon (who left in 1973), The Whispers turned up on the Dore label in 1964 with "I Was Born When You Kissed Me." In 1969, the quintet climbed the soul charts for the first time with "The Time Has Come" on Soul Clock, and they cracked the r&b Top Ten the next year with "Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong." They've remained hitmakers ever since for the labels Janus, Soul Train, and Solar, with smashes like the solid gold chart-topper "And the Beat Goes On" in 1980 and another number one contemporary classical hit, "Rock Steady," in 1987. After being their backbone and selling point since the group's inception, twin lead vocalists Walter and Wallace Scott took time out for solo careers in 1993, but remain with the Whispers. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi

    It's a love thing, it's a love thing
    (It's a love thing, thing)
    The look in your eyes is more than enough
    To make my poor heart burst into flames
    Before the moment we met

    Lyrics
    I looked at you, you stole my heart
    You were all that I anticipated
    I wanted you, every part
    But I knew love would be complicated
    I began to touch but you wouldn't let it
