The Whispers, one of R&B's most legendary groups, will be celebrating 50 years in the music industry. As the first act signed to Soul Train Records, they should have already received some type of honor from the Soul Train brand. They are celebrating their golden anniversary in this business---what better time than now? Let's give them the honor of lifetime achievement! They have achieved that much and are proving everyday that they "Just Get Better With Time!"

im still reading all the stories people are sharing about the first time they heard rockin steady and honestly it just confirms why this recognition is so overdue. i have been busy reaching out to the soul train folks to make sure they see these names so keep hanging in there with me.

After 50 years The Whispers deserve all the accolades available to any group of this longevity. Not only have they endured, they've done so with grace and class while never failing to entertain us. They are true embassadors of the genre and keepers of the flame.

The Whispers deserve recognition for 50 years of entertaining and staying together through hardship and illnesses. They have kept their same type of music because that’s what the fans want to hear. They do a lot of things in their community that don’t get publicized. They do it from their hearts, not for the press. They are a great group of guys that appreciate their fans and take care of each other. I feel this award is long overdue.
