The group's sound was marked by Scotty Scott's fluid, melodic voice which featured on virtually all of their hits. Scotty's sound was so distinctive and likeable that, in his heyday, he was as recognizable as such noted R&B lead singers as Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers.[citation needed]
In 1987, they enjoyed a career resurgence when "Rock Steady" hit #1 on the R&B charts, and it became their first Top 10 success on the Hot 100, reaching #7. The Whispers also founded the Black Tie record label.
In the 1990s, The Whispers joined the Capitol Records family releasing more favorites. Expanding their creative horizons, brothers Walter and Scotty cut “My Brothers Keeper”, a critically-acclaimed duet album in 1993, scoring another R&B hit with a cover of the Intruders' "I Wanna Know Your Name." The 1995 release “Toast to the Ladies” featured a collection of love songs dedicated to women all over the world. In 1997, the group moved to Interscope Records where they featured the works of Baby face once again with their album, "Songbook, Vol. 1: The Songs of Babyface”. Both albums charted on Billboard's top 100 albums.
Marcus stopped performing with the group in 1989 due to ill health and the Whispers vowed never to replace him when he died in 2000. In the new millennium, the group still performs around the world to thousands of loyal fans. The group has not made any personnel changes and still consists of Walter Scott, Wallace Scott, Nicholas Caldwell, and Leaveil Degree. They have taken the world by storm, selling out in various casinos and hotels, music venues, and they have a tremendous following throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa. However, they still find time for charity work with youth education, cancer organizations, 100 Black Men, and Domestic violence charities.
On September 23, 2003, The Whispers’ four decades of accomplishments were acknowledged when they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. On June 12, 2005, The San Francisco Chapter of the Grammy Awards presented the Whispers with the prestigious Governors Award, the highest honor bestowed by an Academy Chapter. They were also inducted into the Bay Area Blues Society Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2007, The Black Music Academy of America selected the Whispers to receive their “Living Legends” award.
They are one of only a few “old school” groups that can boast of having over 40 years in the industry with a worldwide fan base. The Whispers waited almost a decade to produce a new CD in 2005. This independent product, the first venture of their newly formed corporation Satin Tie Entertainment is a masterpiece entitled, “For Your Ears Only”. According to Walter, “This title was a way of saying to our fans that while we want everyone’s support, we very much want the support of our fans, who have been with us for many, many years.” It made its way up the Billboard chart immediately. In 2007, they release a DVD of their live concert entitled “The Whispers Live From Las Vegas”, the first of its kind. A CD soundtrack of the same concert was also released.

The Whispers's classic R&B track, "Is It Good To You," is a sensual invitation to spend a night of passionate lovemaking. The song is a declaration of what the singer is willing to do to please their lover, and how much they enjoy their time together. The lyrics illustrate the importance of taking things "nice and slow" while expressing an unrelenting desire to have a good time. The chorus repeats the lines "Is it good to you baby, cause I like it, Is it good to you baby, cause I like the way you feel," which are straightforward and unambiguous. The singer wants to know if their lover is having a good time since they're enjoying themselves, and the title of the song indicates that the singer is willing to do what it takes to make sure their lover is pleased.
The verses of the song are particularly descriptive of the mood the singer wishes to create. The singer encourages their lover to "lay down and relax" while "running their fingers through their hair." The singer desires to "take it nice and slow, don't rush it, then go round and round, then push it." The idea here is that the singer wants to build up to a crescendo of pleasure slowly, without any rush. The lyrics create vivid, almost tactile images of the two lovers in bed, all wrapped up in each other's arms, lost in their own world of pleasure. The song makes use of a soft melody and a gentle, seductive rhythm, creating the perfect background for a night of passion and excitement.
