Jack Scott



Jack Scott
 


Jack Scott (born Giovanni Dominico Scafone Jr., January 24, 1936, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada) is an American singer and songwriter. He was the first white national rock 'n' roll star to come out of Detroit.

When he was ten, his family moved across the river to Hazel Park, Michigan, a Detroit suburb. Taught to play the guitar by his father, he pursued a singing career and recording as 'Jack Scott.' After waxing two good-selling local hits for ABC-Paramount Records in 1957, he switched to the Carlton record label and had a double-sided national hit in 1958 with "Leroy"/"My True Love". Later in 1958, "With Your Love" reached the Top 40.

He served in the U.S. Army during most of 1959, just after "Goodbye Baby" made the Top Ten. 1959 also saw him chart with "The Way I Walk."

At the beginning of 1960, Scott again changed record labels, this time to Top Rank. He then recorded four Billboard Hot 100 hits --"Oh, Little One," "It Only Happened Yesterday," "What In the World's Come Over You" and "Burning Bridges." The latter two made it to the Top Five.

Scott is still actively singing and touring today.
