Sincerely, Jimmy Scott ( A tribute to Jazz legend Jimmy Scott )

The Lum Podcast

For some artists, they get popular quickly. Maybe it's their location, the "it" factor, inside connections. For some other artists, it takes them years of hard work and dedication. Through the discipline, they are able to carve out a niche for themselves and might get popular through that. Some artists never make it. Some get close then something thwarts it.

From his phrasing to his ability to put so much emotion into his voice, Jimmy was recognized by anyone whose seen him that he was special. Held back from a bad deal at Savoy Records, Jimmy Scott's attempts to record and play live hit obstacle after obstacle for decades. After a performance at a funeral for his friend Doc Pomus, Jimmy Scott was able to get a new deal and gained popularity in his late 70's.

This 'Lum podcast is about the ones that don't make it, barely make it, should have made it, and sometimes beyond all odds sometimes do...even if it takes forever.
