Jimmy Scott - Heaven

[@MimeeMarlee]

My biological father died yesterday. I pray his soul is at peace. Because the little girl that always wanted to know him is so sad he's gone. But, there's always heaven. Maybe when that day comes when I take my last breath, he will be there to take me home. 😢🙏💓😘

[@BeyondDoompiano]

My sister's keeper brought me here... Simply perfect :)

I'm a huge Talking Heads fan, so finding that one of my favourite Talking Heads songs has been covered by my favourite jazz singer is pretty special.

[@jedgriffin2580]

Have Mercy. This song will have you balling uncontrollably if you've suffered as much loss as I have. Now I need a STIFF DRINK. Too much.

[@ahdisag]

As an atheist this song makes it easier for me to perceive 'Heaven' as an adjective, rather than a noun. R.I.P. my brother, I'll always think of you and your singing of this song when someone mentions Heaven to me. Peace and Respect

[@annoflower]

Peace to you, dear Jimmy. Thank you for blessing my ears with that incredible voice for so many years... I'm going to listen to you all day today.

[@HermosaLuna5]

I love all his music. I love his voice. couldn't ask for a better artist

I don't know if David Bowie ever listened to Jimmy Scott, but I could believe he was an influence.

[@wimpers]

they even met !

[@claudiascott7607]

Wim D. Yes he is in a picture with him and others.

[@SoulSister66]

Bowie came to our (Jimmy's) dressing room at Carnegie Hall to see Jimmy. As well as other times. May they both rest in heavenly peace.

If this makes you cry then check out "I'm Afraid The Masquerade Is Over" or "When Did You Leave Heaven" by him.... Amazing!

[@peppelm8229]

Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar The name of the bar called Heaven Now the band in Heaven Play my favorite song They play it once again They play it all night long Heaven is a place Where nothing ever happens Heaven is a place Where nothing ever happens There's a party, everyone is there Everyone will leave at exactly the same time It's hard to imagine that nothing at all Could be so exciting, could be so much fun Heaven is a place Where nothing ever happens Heaven is a place Where nothing ever happens When this kiss is over it will start again It will not be any different, It will be exactly the same It's hard to imagine that nothing at all Could be so exciting, could be so much fun Heaven is a place Where nothing ever happens Heaven is a place Where nothing ever happens

[@mattstefon4878]

Almost two years gone. Damn. Just as Bob Dylan is covering The Great American Songbook, I can't help but wonder whether Jimmy Scott ever covered any of Dylan's best? If so, I gotta know!

[@SoulSister66]

No.

[@DuduEspoir]

+Immy Slack hello, you might have found in the meanwhile, anyway this is a Talking Heads' song from their album Fear of Music. Both original and JS's cover are great!

[@immyslack3648]

+DuduEspoir Thankyou so much! I wondered why I couldn't find it anywhere! Great help thank you :)

[@ineedchops1]

I did a transcription of this version a few years ago. I'll try to dig it up.

[@brightonbernard5482]

Did anyone ever transcribe/track down this sheet music? I am in desperate need!

[@kirkabe5155]

​​@@brightonbernard5482 do have a leadsheet for this (Jimmy Scott's) version.

[@dillongstaff5625]

A song not a rip anthem

[@goffalboi]

He is a bi-racial or coloured man.

[@SoulSister66]

He's a tri-color black man. Jimmy has Afro- American, Native American, & Euro-American on both sides of his family tree.
