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.

There's a Love for Everyone
The Whispers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you've got to walk down that lonesome road (Walk)
And there's no love in your life
And your heat's gonna carry a heavy load
Don't worry about who you can turn to
Cause what will be will be
Look around you
There's a love, there's a love for everyone
People all over the world, they got the same,
Same problems (Help, them)
It would be so wonderful if someone
Could help them solve it
Always give what's best for you
You know what it takes to see you through
There's a love for everyone
Why don't you look around you
There's a love, there's a love for everyone
Always give what's best for you
Because you know what it takes to see you through
There's a love for everyone
Look around you
There's a love, there's a love for everyone
There's a love for you and me
I'm sure you can see
There's a love for you and you and you and you
There's gonna be a love for everyone
(There's gonna be a love for everyone)
There's gonna be a love for everyone

When you've got to walk down that lonesome road (Walk)
When you find yourself alone and facing difficult situations
And there's no love in your life
When you don't feel loved or supported by those around you
And your heat's gonna carry a heavy load

There's a love for you and you and you and you
Everyone has the opportunity to find love
There's gonna be a love for everyone
Love is something that will happen for everyone at some point in time
(There's gonna be a love for everyone)
