2) The Whispers formed in 1964 in Watts, California. The original members included the twin brothers, Scotty (Wallace) and Walter Scott, along with Gordy Harmon, Marcus Hutson and Nicholas Caldwell. In 1973, Harmon was replaced by former Friends of Distinction member Leaveil Degree. Scotty Scott's fluid, melodic voice is featured on virtually all of their hits.
The group scored many hits on the R&B and Billboard Hot 100 charts throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and they hit #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1980 with "And the Beat Goes On " (not to be confused with Sonny and Cher's "The Beat Goes On") / "Can You Do the Boogie" / "Out the Box". In 1987, they enjoyed a brief tenure in the Top 40 when "Rock Steady" became their first Top 10 success on the Hot 100 (it reached #7) while also capturing the #1 spot on the R&B chart.
Although they recorded mainly in Philadelphia in the early to mid 70s, most of their studio work has been in Los Angeles. Their most successful period was in the 1980s with Solar Records (Sound Of Los Angeles Records), run by their manager at the time, Dick Griffey. The Whispers later founded their own Black Tie record label.
Marcus Hutson left the group in 1992 due to illness. According to the Whispers' website, when Hutson died in 2000 they vowed to never replace him, and now perform as a quartet.
MAKE IT WITH YOU
Whispers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby here goes
Dreams they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering
I want to make it with you
I really think
That we could make it girl
No, you don't know me well
In every little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think
That we could make it girl
Baby you know that dreams
They're for those who sleep
Life it's for us to keep
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think
That we could make it girl
