the first time ever I saw your face( Jimmy Scott)

EASTWOOD AFTER HOURS
Jimmy Scott

[@charlesstevens6995]

I'm 74. I can't listen and see Jimmy without crying like a baby. He touched me so profoundly and completely. I had the honor and one of my life's very, very special nights at his 80th birthday at the Blue Note. From my tears, he was blurry all night. R.I.P. you beautiful man.

[@rubengreenberg2253]

Thank you for your moving, sensitive tribute, every word of which is true.

[@firouz256]

On June 12 2014, Little Jimmy Scott died. Little Jimmy had a cameo in the music video for Madonna’s Secret. Madonna had this to say about Scott: “Jimmy Scott is the only singer who makes me cry.”

[@stephanebzs6397]

Yes!! a Great sog Man.. I love this purity of soul and voice!! Thank man!!

[@thephantomeagle2]

Always loved his voice. He was my uncle by marriage. One of his brothers was married to my mother.

[@donaldcasey9204]

This was truly one of the greatest voices to ever grace our listening pleasure. What a pleasure it was. R.I.P.

[@saleemmuhammad6470]

Littlle Jimmy Scott one of the greatest unknown to many artists ever. What a voice and expression, miss you Brother and ill always love and play your music. RIP.

[@nickyfarrell3024]

The greatest singer and song stylist ever! No one comes close, and no one ever will. RIP Brother Jimmy.

[@jplent]

Frank Sinatra.

[@matthewficco7090]

Agreed unbelievable phrasing.

[@SoulSister66]

In the early days Sinatra would sneak in Jimmy's shows then back out before the lights came up at the end of the show.

[@HeWhoFlewFromInwood]

Him and Billie Holiday were the best

[@KasumiSuzuki]

God bless Jimmy Scott and Rest In Peace. Jun 12, 2014. What an amazing voice.

[@FelixScottJr]

Freakishly amazing skills combined with a great love for lyrics and their interpretation. He could take any song and make it his song.

[@robinbf]

He could take any song and make it his song.

[@robinbf]

this is the best comment about him i've ever heard. exactly!

[@totocastillo]

The singer of the singers

[@bobgrant809]

A "Once in a lifetime" voice.

[@lolaloren1773]

His voice is Magnificent!!!!! One of my Favorite Singers of all Time!!!!! MAY HE REST IN PEACE!!!!!!🕊🕊🕊

[@radixreuel7631]

YES….ALL DAY. Jimmy Scott is Legend✨

[@luvkershaw]

He is absolutely breath taking with his singing.

[@dangervich]

My uncle hated jazz. My dad tried to get him to listen to it, my brother... he said, "I still hate Jazz, but I LOVE Jimmy... the phrasing." Well, exactly, Jerry, as Cito Gaston used to say... Listen to "I'll Be Around." He sings... "Your latest.... love..." The long pause. He actually put quotes around the word "love" as if to say... that's not love. A genius at phrasing to say what it means to him.

[@Gr8fulGloria]

Voice EXTRODINAIRE! The one, the only Mr. Jimmy Scott ❤❤❤

[@vanessadaniels2138]

The Cosby show introduced me to Lil Jimmy Scott. Very unique voice. Glad to have been able to experience it.

[@rogojazzz]

MA - RA- VI- LLO - SO !!! Maestro de maestros.

[@mitchgrube2480]

What a born singer--RARE is the person born with this gift--I am honored to become a fan. RIP Mr Scott. Your voice lives on......

[@lets_b_frank6956]

I just discovered the brother today. I've been listening to this all day as it has touched me. I shall be getting up to speed on his work. Bless your soul 🙏🏾

[@softseagreens]

There are no words for the treasure Jimmy Scott was and is. There's a wonderful documentary on him - "I Go Back Home - Jimmy Scott" - hope you can find it...

[@maynardcampbell8623]

Jimmy Scott. Incredible! The first song I heard was such a magic hypnotic voice that pulled at your soul. I've got his music to this day. Jimmy Scott I cried when you passed away but your music and the great voice will never die

[@julielittler5407]

If you like this listen to The Garden. I played this at my partners memorial service. Beautiful ❤

[@SoulSister66]

That is a different Jimmy Scott not the Jazz Legend.

[@pat14162]

Wow... la grande classe !!! et cette voix extraordinaire... je l'ai découvert hier, en entendant sa version du célèbre morceau " Tea for Two ". Un vrai régal de voir ses mains accompagner son phrasé musical. R.I.P, Monsieur !!!

[@mr_melvis]

RIP Jimmy Scott - thank you for the music....

[@jaumearch4396]

Extraordinary !!! Awesome !!!

[@jcextranow]

What a touching voice. He made such an impact on the music world not truly realized until he went on to a much better place.

[@nuwwine]

Wow...what a rare and powerful gifting...Rest In Paradise my friend!

[@Peppercorn49]

So long, Jimmy. We will miss your presence greatly. The world was a far richer place because of you.

[@Chuck59ish]

The world's lost another great performer. You can tell that all his problems were lost when he got on stage. R.I.P. Jimmy.

[@DJ-zt2ml]

PBS featured an awesome documentary about Jimmy Scott many years ago. I have never heard about this sparkling jewel until that broadcast. He was truly an incredibly gifted and talented singer. Thank goodness for KZbin which allows others to appreciate Mr. Scott's performances.

[@dullarddom]

I'll never have the words to express how beautiful his voice is but it doesn't matter, all anyone has to do is hear Jimmy Scott to understand. One of the greatest and I love him dearly.

[@DailyBrusher]

Jimmy will take you there! Saw him in Chicago about 10 years ago, at the Old Town School of Folk Music... he was breath-taking, truly one of the greats!

[@sandydavid3387]

His Voice just blows my mind!

[@johnharris3234]

WOW!!!FROM THE OPENING FIRST 5 BARS OF THIS GREAT TUNE I HAD TO SAVE THIS. MR. SAMMY DAVIS. I KNOW YOU HAD TO STUDY THIS ENTERAINER STYLE.

[@alvinwhitley8020]

I was lucky enough to go to Birland in NYC where he played every Feb 14th, Valintines Day for years. I would go and sit back in the back room with him and he would smoke cigarettes and tell me stories of him mom, the early years and how Decca ripped him off. You can't do that today or them, just go in the back room and I went every year, then he started to recognize me on the street and say " Hey I know you !".

[@ssballs]

How great and what an honor. Saw him @ the Iridium / Times Sq. & for his 85 birthday celebration in the House of Blues, LA. You were lucky! We were blessed

[@loveyouamyw]

God bless Mr. Jimmy.

[@sandykaufmann9422]

Wow, I’m blown away! This is the first time I’ve heard him. He has the voice of an angel and he sings from the depths of his soul. How could I not know about him until now? Glad I clicked on his video out of curiosity! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ejackson21st]

OH my goodness! What a talented soul. If I'm not mistaken he was at least 75 years old in this performance. He really made love to that song! Thanks for posting this ziegfeld0414. Watching and listening to this video is a magical experience!
