[Motown Eddie]

From SoulTracks.com:

They took a “slow and steady” path to stardom, but once they reached it, The Whispers became one of the most beloved soul music vocal groups of all time. Tonight we mourn the passing of group co-founder, Walter Scott, after a brief illness. He was 81.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Walter Scott was ailing and he missed several shows. His fans have been praying for a recovery since, then, but sadly the bad news came today. We will be mourning this tremendous loss to the music world, even as we celebrate an artist who was a big part of the soundtrack of so many lives over the past half century. Rest in peace, Walter.
