Jimmy Scott Artist Snapshot:

Though Jimmy Scott would eventually become known for his jazz ballad singing, the Cleveland-born vocalist who started out with the bands of Lionel Hampton and Paul Gayten began his solo career in the early 1950s recording commercial R&B material. Scott suffered from a rare condition known as Kallman's syndrome, which, among other things, kept his voice in a high, feminine range that was unusually distinctive. He recorded some classic material for Savoy before moving on to various other labels, but in the '90s he had a mainstream comeback with a series of dreamy major-label recordings featuring a mix of standards and more eclectic material.

Reissued in 2003 with extra tracks and beautifully remastered sound, the FABULOUS SONGS OF JIMMY SCOTT, originally released in 1960, showcases Scott's stunning, inimitable voice. The vocalist suffered from Kallmann's Syndrome, which kept his voice perpetually at a high, pre-pubescent tenor, yet he parlayed his physical limitation into an exquisite instrument, and he was capable of rendering great emotional power in his deliveries.

FABULOUS SONGS OF JIMMY SCOTT contains some traditional numbers ("Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child") and some standards ("The Way You Look Tonight"), but all of the material is presented with a sophistication and passion that are uniquely Scott's. He is arguably at the height of his powers here (the control he holds over his vibrato is truly amazing), making FABULOUS one of the singer's best early recordings.
