I guess the word has already gone
out that Nicholas Caldwell, one of the founding members of The Whispers, passed
away on January 5, 2016 from heart disease, at the age of 71.
The Whispers have been performing
since I was a child, so they have so many songs that I love that there is no
way that I could name them all. I remember when they used to perform frequently
at McClymond’s High School. As my mom would say, that is going back some.
Mr. Caldwell entered this world in
Los Angeles on April 5, 1944. He, along with Wallace and Walter Scott and
others, formed The Whispers in 1963. Many of you may not know of his
songwriting talents, but I have included several songs by The Whispers on which
he was given writing credits. He also wrote for other artists, such as Phil
Perry.
Nicholas may not be an artist I
think of every day, but now that he is gone, I miss him greatly! And the beat
goes on!
Nicholas Caldwell [1944 – 2016]
