Somewhere Down The Line

Jimmy Scott - Somewhere Down The Line
Jimmy Scott - Everybody Knew But Me

Here are a couple of beautiful, albeit beautifully heartbreaking, songs from Jimmy Scott. I was lucky enough to see him at London's famous jazz club, Ronnie Scott's (no relation), a few years back -- a very special experience. David Lynch is also a fan, which is what brought me to write about him once before. I'm sure most of the Diddy Wah massive are familiar with his work but for everyone else, he's basically one of the greatest vocalists of all time and that's all there is to it, look him up. These tunes were recorded in 1957/58 but Everybody Knew But Me wasn't released until King Records included it on this single in 1964.
