Back in the 50's and 60's when rock and roll singers could actually sing. So glad I grew up in the 50's and 60's. There will never be anything like it.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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!"
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
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....
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.
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'
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.
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 .. 🙏💗
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.
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...
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!
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
One of his many great hits from living legend the great Jack Scott this song crossed over to black record im still playing it on my internet radio show Classic Soul me the Masterblaster
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.
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.
Yes he was born in Windsor where Ilived now I live outside Detroit and so does Jack Scott I see him alot he goes to the same music store I do He lives in Sterling Heights Michigan. He is truly a great talent and has a great voice and is a super guy.
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
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
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!
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 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.
Back in the 50's and 60's when rock and roll singers could actually sing. So glad I grew up in the 50's and 60's. There will never be anything like it.
Yes, very few today even have the ability to sing. Very sad.
Me too…SO thankful I can say, I WAS THERE!!
5:45 glad I was in that era❤😊
Always liked Jack Scott's music. Thanks
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.
I had the same experience today...
❤ Awesome song and memories from my teen years!!
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!
I am 73 years young -And i just love these oldie Goldies ---i;m from New Zealand....Kia Ora tatau ka-toa.-Whanaunga..
IS IT ME ?? OR DID JACK AND OTHERS LIKE HIM HAVE GREAT VOICES - Cant stand the rubbish today - RADIO SUTCH 1964
In my opinion Jack Scott was the greatest Country singer ever no one will top him that's my opinion.
Jack Scott's music reminds me of my dad when I was growing up he always listened to him. I'm still listening also. 2023❤
What a great backup group. They make the song for Jack.
Made lots of Beautiful songs Jack Scott Totally awesome ,what's in the world 🌍 come over you ,miss my little one ,RIP
Who is your little one? Thanks
Last week I nominated Jack for recognition on The Canadian Walk of Fame...I need support from all his fans.
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.

Love Jack Scott. I was a teenager when he hit the tops. God bless him!
Love it.
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.
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.
That was a great song, God Bless R.I.P.
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.
Went to school with His brother and sister. Miss you so much. Rest in peace jack
Love Jack Scott
Jack Scott forever the greatest
My parents would meet Jack in Detroit for dinner every New Years Eve!! In the 70s and 80s!!
Another Consideration for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame LEGENDS 2023.
Born and raised for 10 years in Windsor Ontario Canada before his family moved across the river to Detroit. No wonder he was great.
Yeah. I grew up in the Detroit metro area in the 50's and 60's and the music was amazing. Its timeless.
And his birth name -- Giovanni Domenico Scafone Jr.
They moved to Hazel Park, a Detroit suburb.
@@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!"

Absolutely Fabulous@
Brings back great meme of a great song and singer
What a beautiful voice Jack Scott had. Even watching him lip-synch is a joy.
love the way he sings this song. great for old guys like me to do at kareoke joints
What a song! Usually the audience have no expression but they loved this and some were screaming!
A MAJOR TALENT
Jack Scott....Still Flavor-iffic
Love his talent
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.
Brings back great memories of the 50's.
I met jack scott several years ago in the mid 90s after a show. He seemed very pleasant.
not only a great singer but he was one of the first to write his own songs. great to hear him again.
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.
