About this Item

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm, long-playing "high fidelity" (mono) vinyl record, Carlton LP 12/107, very-good-plus vinyl in a near-fine cardboard jacket. Includes "My True Love," "Leroy," "No One Will Ever Know," "Geraldine" "I'm Dreaming Of You," "Goodbye Baby," etc. Jack Scott (born Giovanni Domenico Scafone Jr., 1936-2019) was a Canadian-American singer/songwriter. He was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011. Dave Marsh, author of "Born to Run" and co-editor of "The Rolling Stone Record Guide," called Scott "undeniably the greatest Canadian rock and roll singer of all time." Scott spent his early childhood in Windsor, Ontario, across the river from Detroit. When he was 10, his family moved to Hazel Park, a Detroit suburb. He grew up listening to hillbilly music and was taught to play guitar by his mother. He began recording as "Jack Scott" as a teenager. He signed with ABC-Paramount Records as a solo artist in 1957, then switched to the Carlton record label, producing a double-sided million-seller in 1958 with "Leroy" (No. 11) / "My True Love" (No. 3). In all, six of 12 songs on this, his first album, became hit singles. On most of these tracks, he was backed by the vocal group the Chantones. Scott released more U.S. singles (19), in a shorter period of time (41 months), than any other recording artist except for The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and Connie Francis. Reduced from $36.
