    (December 30, 2022) As we reported back in August, The Whispers have taken a big step to control their musical catalog by re-recording some of their biggest hits, so that they retain the rights to the recordings. As group member Wallace “Scotty” Scott said, “We want to reap some of the financial benefits that record companies have enjoyed at our expense for decades.”

    The group began with “And The Beat Goes On (Whispers Version)” on September 9, and now they have released an extended dance mix of their second re-recorded hit, the classic Babyface/L.A. Reid composition “Rock Steady.” In both cases, the tag “Whispers Version” was added so that fans could distinguish the new recordings from the originals. You can check out a snippet of the new version of “Rock Steady” below.
