Musical News - Nicholas Caldwell

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!
