One of the most respected and enduring vocal groups in the music industry, The Whispers, with a stellar career that spans over four decades, will be releasing their new CD entitled, "For Your Ears Only”, scheduled to hit internet music retailers by mid February, 2006 in recognition of Black History Month and Valentine’s Day, and retail stores by March 2006. It’s been 9 years since their last CD (Songbook, Volume 1, Songs of Babyface, released in 1997), and fans have been clamoring for a new collection of songs perfected by their smooth, harmonious voices.
“For
Your Ears Only” is the first to be produced on the
Whispers’ independent label, Satin Tie Productions
headed by the Whispers themselves. It’s a heartfelt
project and is definitely created for and dedicated
to their many fans as a way of saying thanks for
all of the years of support”, says Lead singers
Scotty and Walter Scott, and a “Labor of Love and a
body of work blessed by God”, according to Nicholas
Caldwell, singer/songwriter of the Whispers.
The
song collection is a mixture of classic soul,
rhythm and blues, jazz, and pop, performed in “pure
Whisper” tradition from the classic “Don’t Say No”
penned by their musical director Grady Wilkins and
Road Manager Alonzo Ward, to the smooth, sexy
“Butta”, written and arranged by the great Teena
Marie. On Valentine’s Day, wives and lovers will be
serenaded with the passions of “Diamonds”, “Love
Stroking”, “Hold On” and Nicholas Caldwell’s
“Love”. On the dating scene, guys looking for a
soul mate, can woo them with Ollie Woodson’s “Can I
Get Next To You” and “It’s You” (Nicholas Caldwell
and the Whispers’ guitarist Emilio Conesa). For the
dancers and steppers, “Get It On” and “Love Won’t
Let Me Wait” will electrify the party goers and add
a touch of soulful, funky class to the local DJ’s
night club collection. The “Believers” and “Fans”
were not forgotten; “I Sing This Song For You” is
dedicated to the Man Upstairs whose gifts of song
and songwriting elevated the Whispers to where they
are today. As for their longtime fans, the last
song on the CD, “The Whispers Love You Too” says it
all: “My heart compels me to tell each and every
one of you, if it’s the last thing I do, I pray you
know it’s true, the Whispers Love You Too!”
Whispers’ fans will not be disappointed. A
Collector’s Limited edition of the CD will be
available at any of the public venues where they
will be performing beginning Mid February.
The
Whispers have finally achieved their goal of
establishing an independent label where they can
exercise their creative talents and manage their
own musical destiny in the new millennium. Classic
World Productions Inc. headed by Darryl Payne,
President/CEO has played a significant role in
supporting and promoting this project with
graphics, manufacturing, distribution, and
unlimited access to his facility. Classic World is
dedicated to preserving the legacy of some of the
world's greatest artists, ranking as one of the
most respected and resourceful entertainment
companies for back catalogue music. The
collaboration between Satin Tie and Classic World
has proven to be a perfect union.
