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 βMy Brothers Keeperβ, 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 βToast to the Ladiesβ 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 Babyfaceβ. 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 Whispersβ 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 βLiving Legendsβ award.
They are one of only a few βold schoolβ 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, βFor Your Ears Onlyβ. According to Walter, βThis title was a way of saying to our fans that while we want everyoneβs support, we very much want the support of our fans, who have been with us for many, many years.β It made its way up the Billboard chart immediately. In 2007, they release a DVD of their live concert entitled βThe Whispers Live From Las Vegasβ, the first of its kind. A CD soundtrack of the same concert was also released.

This Kind Of Loving
The Whispers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only get from you
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you, from you
Nothing ever felt like this
So much fire in your kiss
Gettin' kinda serious
Can't no other compare
So far I can't get enough
You got to be one of a kind
Girl, I can't get you out of my mind
And I tell you, baby, I've been around
But there's only one thing that I found
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you, yeah
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you (From you)
Cause those things were meant to be
Talkin' 'bout you and me
I don't want nobody else
And I'll never go nowhere
Baby, this I won't share
You got me all to yourself
Cause there's always something new
In the way you do the things you do
And there's no other in this world, naw
That I would ever call my girl
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you, from you, from you, baby, baby, baby
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you, from you
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you [From you]
Only you
Only you
I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't goin' nowhere
You are the meaning of the word satisfaction
Whenever we're alone, it's such a good reaction
Nobody ever made me feel this way
So I'm stayin' here with you, my dear, each and every day
Cause those things were meant to be
Talkin' 'bout you and me
I don't want nobody else
And I'll never go nowhere
Baby, this love I won't share
You got me all to yourself
Cause there's always something new
In the way you do the things you do
And there's no other in this world, naw
That I would ever call my girl
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you, baby
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you (From you)
I ain't goin' nowhere
Baby, your love is so rare
Girl, the things that you do
Makes me want to stay with you
Ooh, this kind of lovin'
I only get from you
This kind of lovin'
I only get from you (From you)
