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.

Pushing through this endless race
Skipping through our solitude
All we know within this room
Upside Down
We will go, we will search the grounds
From head to toe and we won't stop, not until we've found
It's like I'm being used, getting used to you
Loving this little game we play
Make you leave to make you stay
For every step, I'm one behind
In ways, you never leave my mind
Upside Down
We will go, we will search the grounds
From head to toe and we won't stop, not until we've found
That little piece of everything that means nothing to you
It's like I'm being used, getting used to you
Upside Down
Head to Toe
Upside Turn up the flow
Upside Down

Falling highs and Climbing lows
Grabbing Hold to let me go
The lyrics to "Upside Down" by Whispers explore the complexities of a relationship that is both exciting and confusing. The song begins by describing the constant movement and unrest of the couple, running weeks and jumping days, pushing through an endless race. Despite the busyness, they find solace and familiarity in their shared solitude within a room.
The chorus captures the essence of their dynamic. The phrase "Upside Down" is repeated, suggesting that their relationship defies convention and norms. They are determined to search for something meaningful, something that holds significance even if it means nothing to the other person. The singer reflects on feeling used and growing accustomed to being treated that way, indicating a sense of resignation or acceptance in being taken for granted.
The second verse highlights the twisted nature of their game, where making the other person leave becomes a way to make them stay. The singer acknowledges that they are always one step behind, unable to fully catch up to the other person's thoughts and actions. Despite this, their presence remains constant in the other person's mind.
Overall, "Upside Down" delves into the contradictions and complexities of a relationship that is both exhilarating and confusing. It explores the themes of being used, searching for meaning, and the enduring presence of one person in the mind of another.
