The Whispers are very much still together. Just saw them this past June opening for The O'Jays and Frankie Beverly & Maze on their farewell tours. The Whispers weren't farewelling. And they were excellent!
Steve; did you catch the Golden Gate Quartet on TCM last night? The 1947 film A Song Is Born. They sounded great. In case ya didn’t, a great place to catch Satch, Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Barnett, Louie Bellson, and Lionel Hampton, all jamming together. Wouldn’t you know that Quincy Jones played trumpet with the Hampton band? So many tie-ins with the great ‘Q’.
Sounds like something worth catching one of these days. And, yeah, if you follow the dots of Quincy Jones’ career, you’ll encounter a hefty chunk of the music world.

That’s great to know! I don’t see any reason for them to stop if they can still do it.
