With great lifficulty, but even greater love, they will honor his memory by continuing to perform, keeping The Whispers' legacy alive in appreciation of the fans who have supported them for over six decades. In the words of their biggest hit, "And the Beat Goes On", and as their latest single says, "Maybe the Fire Isn't Out".
