You're welcome Motown Eddie. I remembering hearing Jack Scott's music on the radio growing up. May he rest in peace.

I just read this article, I think Jack was truly under rated, had some major hits and should have been a big guy on the oldie circuit .
My Jack Scott story was way back in the mid- 70's we both worked out at Armento's gym in Detroit and although I knew who Jack Scott was, I did not know what he looked liked. Well I was in the steam room and after I got out of the steam room, someone said - hey do you know who was in the steam room with you, well you guessed it - it was Jack Scott. Very unassuming guy.
I did get a chance to see him at a club later that year - somewhere in Warren- I believe on 8 mile, he was amazing .

Good Bye Baby Bye Bye.

I first met Jack while playing with The Sunliners. He would come in regularly to a club we were playing. He would eventually invite us to his house to listen to some of his latest work and get our opinions.
