My parents were great friends with Jack! They met him in Detroit for dinner around Christmas time..He even came to our house to visit when I was around 7 yrs old!! I'm 56..My parents took me to see Elvis Presley in the 3rd row center stage at 11 yrs old too!!! Great childhood!!! ❤ God bless
People actually had God given Talent back then!!! Music today if you call it that is garbage!!! No longevity!!! Even the 70s had good music! Bob Segar!!! Just to name one!!!
@@frankbalazs8816 Never saw anyone but I did have Jacks 45 What in the worlds come over you and a 33 rpm record player with no amp. We were poor and I didn't know he sounded good until later. Man could he sing.
I was in high school in the 50s and what a time we had with the beautiful songs coming out every week. Just couldn’t keep up with them all and enjoyed every minute. That era is gone with the wind never to return!
Why did this song come to my mind this morning? Why? It's 2024, I haven't heard this song since I was a teen.....But these vintage songs bring back a lot of memories - good ones! So glad I grew up in the 50s and 60s! Thanks for posting.
It is new years morning 2025. I just woke up, still in bed, this song just popped into my mind had to listen to it. I remember when it came out. One of most beautiful songs eve.
My parents were great friends with Jack! They would have dinner with him around Christmas all the time..He even came to our house at Christmas! I have a toy train he got me when I was 7yrs old! Im 56...My family'grew up in Michigan. My parents took me to see Elvis in concert in the 3rd row center stage at 10 yrs old!!! My mom got a scarf he wiped his sweat with and handed it to her!!! I had a great childhood!!!❤ God bless Frank
i went to school with jack scott in hazel park michigan back in the 50 s he wasn t only a great singer he was a great person its true he didn t get the reconition he shold have gotten
Jack Scott never quite got the recognition he deserved in my opinion. This was a hit in early 1960, so 50 years ago. HOPEFULLY most of the "kids" in the audience are still with us! Dick Clark is still rockin' New Years Eve...though just barely.
Jack Scott is still living at age 82 and is reportedly active. He wrote most of his songs, this one recorded in 1960. I was only six years old then but I remember this song well. All those in the audience are all old men and ladies aged around or about 74 years old now, but I bet they remember this performance well!
yeah...we're all Boomer fogies now, who still remember how we had the best music, movies, dances, cars and plain fun. J S is gone now...but he lives through his music. hope ur well.
@@pgh45rpms Yeh, like I said, Jack Scott. ☺ My great-great was born Nazarro Pelossi. When he got to Ellis Island the clerk said "You're Frank Williams. Next!"
You have just listened to one of the Greatest God given voices ever. Jack was, and still is, one of the true Kings of Rock n Roll. and Best of the Best with his golden voice. I've known Jack for many years, and can honestly say that you will never find a nicer guy and friend than Jack. Also jack is still performing and still sounds the same. Thanks, Jack, for all your Great Great Songs.
I grew up with Jack Scott....he was and still is my favorite singer :) Oh! How I wish I had the chance to see him in person......You'll never be forgotten Jack!
my father took photographs of him when he appeared in new orleans at the pontchartrain beach amusement park in the 60s. there were other new singers such as fabian also appearing. my father is deceased and i have been a professional photographer since 1965. i am putting together a book of my dads photographs( over 2000] to publish....
Love this song. Bandstand, I lived in Philly, tried once to get on Bandstand but by the time I got out of school got on the elevated which turned into the subway and got to Channel 6 the doors were closed. It was a Clique anyway, same people got in all the time.
I have listen to Jack Scott at least 5 times a week. I hope my tape & CD don't go bad. He was every teens dream boyfriend, now 60 years later, I'm remembering how I wished he was mine. Love his music'
Harwood Girls School albuquerque... thank u shirley pierce & Linda Wise for introducing me to Jack Scott...I hear him and you are totally remembered... along with ur boyfriend's gray knit sweater you made a trade for my columbia club LP Jack Sc... LOL B.
I was 14 when Jack was in his hey day. I so loved his music. He could have sung the yellow pages and I was so smitten I'm sure I'd have bought the record. LOL. Love it just as much today. Thanks for posting.
A beautiful deep baritone voice and handsome good looks. No wonder the girls kept screaming during his song. Had I been one of the girls there I would have too. I never get tired of his wonderful music. RIP Jack Scott.
As we used to say in Glasgow in the sixties " when music was music, men were men and women were glad of it". keep looking and listening and enjoying real music.
Jack Scott - Truely one of the greatest singers ever to record. Even today he still tours and has that God given voice of his.Thanks Jack for the memories.
My man Scott i was young then now I am 76 yrs ant it funny how thing changes I wonder how many was ther is still alive 🤔 ❤❤❤❤ thanks for posting ❤ 😊!!++ 🙏 RIP JACK SCOTT WR ALL LOVE YOU 💘!!++
I used to be friends with one of Jack's nephews back in high school. I'll never forget being invited to one of his family get togethers where Jack was present. He sang a few songs, and seemed like a cool guy. I was absolutely blown away by the fact that one of my best friends had a rock star uncle.
One of the most perfect records ever made by one of rock and roll's absolute masters. The only thing I would ever change is to add those same mind boggling vocal harmonies to the second time he runs through the "all my life I've loved you so" part. No matter. It's still an absolute masterpiece!
Now this is a very valuable video, thx 4 sharing & plez keep it posted, I'd like to tune it in most often... I 've always enjoyed Jack's singing, it must be the background vocalists, the music & his voice cause it certainly isn't the lyrics. Anyway I can see why the gals are cheering him on....he's not Elvis, he's better!!!
I have been listening to late 50,s early 60,s music for years but on only fairly recently came across Jack Scott very underrated singer as he has an excellent voice.
From early 1960 - the great Giovanni Scaffone ("Jack Scott') - a little older than his contemporaries (born 1936) and one of the very few to write a good deal of his own material. The responses from the kids in this video keeps is what keeps bringing me back - the first girl who can barely contain herself and is on the verge of hyperventilating, the 2nd girl who's checkin' out "the goods", to the general disinterest of the boys and their "I-don't-get-it-what's-all-the-excitement?" looks!
Thanks much for your thoughts! At least the boys had some yummy Beech-Nut Gum to chew on until the girl singers came on stage. Hope the teen girl fans didn't choke on their gum when their fave guys sang!
Always loved this man great voice ❤ should have been in rocknroll hall of fame only true love from age 11 to my now 72 years old thanks for sharing so many great songs & concerts thru youtube
This is one of the greatest songs Jack Scott ever made crossed over to the R&B charts i play it on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster

I AM FROM COL OHIO AND I LOVE JACK SCOTT ALWAYS HAVE .SEEN HIM PLAY ISN A CLUB IN MICH ALMOST 30 YRS AGO.MY BAND PLAYED THE WEEK AFTER HIM.AND I ALMOST GOT SHOT FOR NOT SINGING COAL MINERS DAUGHTER FOR THE 5TH TIME THAT NIGHT.THAT WAS CRAZYYY.But he will always be my FAV,AND HE DIDN'T GET THE RECOGNITION HE SHOULD HAVE.I STILL HAVE SOME OF HIS 45'S
In the 41 months between June of 1958 and November 1961 Jack Scott 19 Charts Records in Billboard Magazine. I grew up in Winnipeg. Jack was My Hero. I didn't know it at the time but Winnipeg was about to become The Rock & Roll Capital of Canada. Just ask Neil Young. Jack Scott 'Lit The Fuse' . When My Friends and I read that Jack was Canadian we were thrilled. Up until then all the 'Teen Music' on The Radio came from The U.S. Jack's Success inspired us. Just ask Burton Cummings. Suddenly it seemed like every kid in Winnipeg was in A Band. I was a lousy Drummer so I went into Radio. Along the way I produced Radio Documentaries on The Beatles, Elvis and The Evolution of Rock and did tons of Interviews....but was afraid to interview Jack. What if he wasn't a Nice Guy? It was 1976, Jack was recording for Dot Records. He had just got on The Country Chart with 'You're Not Getting Older You're Getting Better"....so I tracked him down and phoned him. If I come from Toronto can we do an Interview? We met at a Hotel in Windsor Ontario. I knew more about Jack than he remembered. I told him that, when I interviewed Gordon Stoker of The Jordanaires Stoker told me that Elvis once played Goodbye Baby and told The Group that if The Jordanaires 'couldn't keep up' he'd get 'that Jack Scott Vocal Group'. Over the years Jack and I stayed in touch. Occasionally I was able to help him. In 1982 his first Greatest Hits LP was on Toronto's Attic Records. Tom Jones released What In The World. Then during The Gulf War in 1991 Jack headlined the annual Winter Dance Party in Clear Lake Iowa. It was where he debuted The Rock & Rolling National Anthem. ua-cam.com/video/tqmST-dMM3A/v-deo.html. We finally got Jack to perform in Winnipeg. It was 1999. The Show Sold Out. He came again two years later. Another Sell Out. Burton Cummings was the MC. But you've got to know when to 'Fold Them'. Jack Headlined a Rockabilly Show in Las Vegas, went off to England to do it again and then flew to Finland and a final LP. He was inducted into The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and when COVID is over he'll finally be in The Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame. Jack Scott never became The Star he could have been or should have been. But The Musicians knew him. In 1975 Jack played England for the first time. After The Show a guy asked Jack to personalize an Autograph. Jack said sure. What's your name? It was Robert Plant. Jack had never heard of Robert but knew of Led Zeppelin. A few months later Zep went on tour and sent an Airplane to bring Jack and his wife Barb to NYC., I asked him if he heard any Jack Scott Influence. He didn't. So the next time we got together I played him Hot Dog. ua-cam.com/video/eVdpMN3xkWo/v-deo.html
Takes me back to an amazing, early period in my life, when I was Awakening to the sounds of Wonderful Music & Wholesome Singers With Harmony underpinning all .. I remember girls naturally emoting like that too .. 🙏💗
Charles Marsden - “My True Love “ was not the flip, this was on the TopRank label, MTL was on the Carlton label, they both sold a million copies. MTL in 1958 & WITWCOY in 1960.
On this day in 1960 {January 23rd} Jack Scott performed "What In the World's Come Over You" on the ABC-TV program 'Dick Clark's Saturday Night Beechnut Show'... At the time the song was at #30 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; a little over four weeks later on February 22nd it would peak at #5 {for 4 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 16 weeks... Between 1958 and 1961 he had nineteen songs make the Top 100; four made the Top 10, his other three Top 10 records were "My True Love" {#3 in 1958}, "Goodbye Baby" {#8 in 1959}, and "Burning Bridges" {#3 in 1960}... The day after his above appearance on the 'Beechnut' show he celebrated his 24th birthday; he was born Giovanni Domenico Scafone, Jr. on January 24th, 1936...
I had aunts and uncles that weren't that much older than I was. I used to go to my grandmother's and listen to Jack Scott's 45's on her record player. I always loved his voice.
IS IT ME ?? OR DID JACK AND OTHERS LIKE HIM HAVE GREAT VOICES - Cant stand the rubbish today - RADIO SUTCH 1964
My parents were great friends with Jack! They met him in Detroit for dinner around Christmas time..He even came to our house to visit when I was around 7 yrs old!! I'm 56..My parents took me to see Elvis Presley in the 3rd row center stage at 11 yrs old too!!! Great childhood!!! ❤ God bless

Jack Scott uses a country singer group that made his two big songs so great.
A love story for me. Man pulls up in old big truck, singing this song. In love again .
In my opinion Jack Scott was the greatest Country singer ever no one will top him that's my opinion.
Beautiful voice! Deep... I am French and I was 16 then in France. I loved that voice!
And I am now...79.
Last week I nominated Jack for recognition on The Canadian Walk of Fame...I need support from all his fans.
This song comes to mind often. GEE that was over 50 years ago.
Time Slips By So Fast

Jack Scott passed away shortly after this post was made. He was my old high school buddy's uncle and I met him once.
Richmond.. Hill.
Born and raised for 10 years in Windsor Ontario Canada before his family moved across the river to Detroit. No wonder he was great.
And his birth name -- Giovanni Domenico Scafone Jr.
They moved to Hazel Park, a Detroit suburb.

My sisters used to play this all the time.
Good to hear it again. Up until now I couldn't tell you who sang it. Brings back memories of the 50's....
In the 41 months between June of 1958 and November 1961 Jack Scott 19 Charts Records in Billboard Magazine.
I grew up in Winnipeg. Jack was My Hero.
I didn't know it at the time but Winnipeg was about to become The Rock & Roll Capital of Canada. Just ask Neil Young. Jack Scott 'Lit The Fuse' .
When My Friends and I read that Jack was Canadian we were thrilled. Up until then all the 'Teen Music' on The Radio came from The U.S. Jack's Success inspired us. Just ask Burton Cummings. Suddenly it seemed like every kid in Winnipeg was in A Band. I was a lousy Drummer so I went into Radio. Along the way I produced Radio Documentaries on The Beatles, Elvis and The Evolution of Rock and did tons of Interviews....but was afraid to interview Jack. What if he wasn't a Nice Guy?
It was 1976, Jack was recording for Dot Records. He had just got on The Country Chart with 'You're Not Getting Older You're Getting Better"....so I tracked him down and phoned him. If I come from Toronto can we do an Interview?
We met at a Hotel in Windsor Ontario. I knew more about Jack than he remembered.

Then during The Gulf War in 1991 Jack headlined the annual Winter Dance Party in Clear Lake Iowa. It was where he debuted The Rock & Rolling National Anthem. ua-cam.com/video/tqmST-dMM3A/v-deo.html.
We finally got Jack to perform in Winnipeg. It was 1999. The Show Sold Out. He came again two years later. Another Sell Out. Burton Cummings was the MC.
But you've got to know when to 'Fold Them'.
Jack Headlined a Rockabilly Show in Las Vegas, went off to England to do it again and then flew to Finland and a final LP. He was inducted into The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and when COVID is over he'll finally be in The Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame.
Jack Scott never became The Star he could have been or should have been. But The Musicians knew him.
In 1975 Jack played England for the first time. After The Show a guy asked Jack to personalize an Autograph. Jack said sure. What's your name? It was Robert Plant.
Jack had never heard of Robert but knew of Led Zeppelin.
A few months later Zep went on tour and sent an Airplane to bring Jack and his wife Barb to NYC., I asked him if he heard any Jack Scott Influence. He didn't. So the next time we got together I played him Hot Dog. ua-cam.com/video/eVdpMN3xkWo/v-deo.html
❤ I first heard him at Crazy Horse salon in Mi. Love love it.
Takes me back to an amazing, early period in my life, when I was Awakening to the sounds of Wonderful Music & Wholesome Singers With Harmony underpinning all .. I remember girls naturally emoting like that too .. 🙏💗
My mother had this record and it is still my head 47 years later.
not only a great singer but he was one of the first to write his own songs. great to hear him again.
Jack Scott is still performing. Green Bay Rockabilly festival, May 2007. Still great.
A fan from Germany
love the way he sings this song. great for old guys like me to do at kareoke joints
This was a favorite of a friend who died of cancer.
The flip side of this { MY TRUE LOVE} was my late wife and my high school sweet heart song about 1957,Thanks for the amazing memories
Charles Marsden - “My True Love “ was not the flip, this was on the TopRank label, MTL was on the Carlton label, they both sold a million copies. MTL in 1958 & WITWCOY in 1960.
He should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, don't you think?
On this day in 1960 {January 23rd} Jack Scott performed "What In the World's Come Over You" on the ABC-TV program 'Dick Clark's Saturday Night Beechnut Show'...
At the time the song was at #30 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; a little over four weeks later on February 22nd it would peak at #5 {for 4 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 16 weeks...

thank you mystic0157 for letting me know what year this came out wow!!the years fly by too quickly
I had aunts and uncles that weren't that much older than I was. I used to go to my grandmother's and listen to Jack Scott's 45's on her record player. I always loved his voice.
