    Honestly this means so much to have footage like this available. Mr Scott was one of the finest vocalists in popular music, and yet was under-recorded, and there’s nowhere near enough footage of him, especially in younger years. This is an incredible performance, thank you so much.

    This is who influenced Stunning Nancy Wilson! She is and will always be my favorite artist. Her phrasing, and arrangements were one of a kind! Miss that great lady. ❤️

    Nancy Wilson always said that he was a huge influence. This is my first time hearing him, but I can definitely hear his impact on her vocal style. Wow, just to hear that signature octave slide up that is known so well by Nancy. His phrasing and sometimes tone is evident that he was a huge influence if not vocal mentor.

    There is reason Jimmy's suit drapes over him like a blanket. To those who are not aware, "Little" Jimmy Scott was born with an inability to create adequate testosterone, and therefore, he never grew very tall, but also never grew out of his child-soprano voice. Jimmy Scott was literally an un-casterated Casteratto. The eternal choir-boy.
    With modern pharmacuticals conditions like this can be generally avoided (there are medical complications for growing up without natural hormone levels.). Needlees to say, Jimmy Scott did wind up marrying and, also had children of his own, as I remember.
    Legend has it that Scott, as an old man was working as an elevator operator in a fancy hotel to make extra cash. Avante Guarde filmmaker David Lynch recognized him immideatly. They talked, and ultimatley Lynch asked him to play a part in his current film at the time "Twin Peaks: Fire, Walk With Me."
    I made a special A444 hz Shumann Resonnace conversion of this song "When Did You Leave Heaven" for mine channel. Out of superstition, I avoided tuning it down to A432 Scientitic Pitch, which is about 1/3rd percent flatter than standard A440 Hz tuning. Tuning it up the Shchumann Resonnance would only alter the voice by about 20 percent sharper. I simply felt it was wrong to mess with this natural God-given voice too much! (Even though I was converting it to sacred tunings!).
    God Bless you, Jimmy Scott, and for those interested, see you on _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole!_
