I'm sad.....
Thank you for the music, Jimmy. A life full of achievement.
Love and thoughts for you, Jeanie. Come and share with us, whenever you can....
Rest In Peace, Jimmy Scott...
Jeanie, my condolences....
Condolences to Soul Sister Jeanne.
I just heard about the news early this morning. As soon as I did, I had to do a long run with everyone on Fort Stewart in honor of the Army's 239th birthday. And while I was stretching, I started thinking to myself that Jimmy and Jeanie were both big supporters of my being in the military. So I thought that I would run hard and finish strong for them, and I did. I didn't fall out of the formation and I kept pushing myself even though my legs were hurting. I was doing it for them.
I am so sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to Jeanie aka Soul Sister and Jimmy's family, friends and fans all over the World. Rest in peace Jimmy and thank you.

Sorry to hear this Jeanie [[Soul Sister). But, Jimmy had a long, and good life. My condolences to you and his family. His singing brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. I bought my first record of his way back in 1955. So, I've been a fan of his, and his music has been in my life for just about 60 years! As long as people keep listening to his music, he won't be forgotten.
You kind of nailed it there, Robb. Jimmy bridged two generations of music and did it successfully. Truly one of a kind that can not be replaced. Rest well Jimmy. You did good.
Jeanie, as we said elsewhere, Bettye and I wish you the best. Hang in there.
Soulsister
You are in my thought and prayers. My condolences to you family, friends, and fans of the Great Jimmy Scott.
My prayers are with you SoulSister. I did not know Jimmy but your posts make me feel as though I've lost a close personal friend. When I read the title of this thread, I felt as if I had just been punched in the gut.
RIP Jimmy. Condolences to the family.

Jeanie...I still have the pictures we took at Jimmy's Detroit concerts at the DIA Auditorium and the Wright Museum, those were good times. He had so much talent and he was such a classy gentleman. His music will never be forgotten.
My condolences to you and to Jimmy's family.
So sorry to hear about Jimmy's passing Jeanie...Please accept my sincere condolences... Stu
Hi to all!
So sorry to read this... Dear Soul Sister receive my true condolence. I remember that I discovered Jimmy Scott grace to you [[this was my high ignorance when I first started posting here, I only knows until now about "classic soul" and Philly & Chicago "uptown soul").
A great embrace to you and all the family and friends of Jimmy. Rest in peace.
He was our Cleveland legend. We were so proud of him.
Jeanie, your care and devotion allowed us to have him all these years.
His body changed over the years, but his voice and soul never did.
A heartfelt thank you and may God Bless you.
RIP Great One

My sincerest condolences to Soul Sister and Jimmy's family on the loss of a truly great talent.
Dear Soul Sister,
I've had the honor of meeting you and Mr. Scott only once, in 2003 after a performance in St. Louis, but I will never forget how welcoming and gracious both of you were, and that you are not only his Lady but a lady in every sense. May that warmth be returned to you at this difficult time.
With sincere condolences,
Cathy D.
Jeanie, our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
THANK YOU for the music Jimmy R.I.P
Thank you everyone for the thoughtful messages.
I am dealing with a lot right now and will post information about services towards end of week once the funeral home and the church where we got married can coordinate on the date.

Dear Sis,
Words can't describe the heartbreak we all feel. Sir Jimmy was a shining example of how to succeed against all odds. And he did so with love, even to those who did him the greatest injustice. Know that he will live on in our hearts forever.
Love you much,
TallOne
********************************SEE YOU IN HEAVEN*******************************
Life is a beautiful sunrise
A day or a hundred years
But why is there a sunset
For those we hold dear
I call and you always answer
Love last to the final chapter
Now you're gone
I can't imagine
Life without your laughter
Please one more dawn
I hear eleven angels singing
Rejoice it's a new beginning
Dry your tears
My life is shattered
I've lost all that matters
Please heart be still
I'd die to save you
Trade the breath GOD gave me
But thats impossible
So I'll see you in Heaven
Yes, I know the directions to your arms
When I get there I will find you
Shine your light and guide me through
Through the storms of life I'll come
Back to the only one
I have always loved
Millions will be there but I'll find you
Shine your light and guide me through
From darkness to light
No more earthly strife
Heaven and eternal life
So I'll see you In Heaven
Yes,I know the directions to your arms
So I'll see you in Heaven
Yes, I know the directions to your arms.
THANK YOU MR JIMMY SCOTT.
I pray that GOD will welcome you with open arms
Jeanie... May GOD continue to bless and keep you in his loving care!

That is so beautiful, Smooth. It covers my feelings so well.
I just finished speaking to him when I read this as tears flowed down my cheeks. How I miss my sweet angel, he is free now, free of all life's pain and reunited with the mother he lost at age 13.
Thank you for that lovely sentiment, Smooth. I will save it.

Sorry Jeanie for being so late in responding but I just read the news about Jimmy's passing. One of my students and I met with you and Jimmy in your hotel room in Toronto and it was a wonderful long chat - I still have the picture of Soniel and Jimmy on my office wall. It is sad that he is gone but he will never be forgotten and just imagine all the people he made smile and happy...what a BLESSING!
I wish you all the best Jeanie.
