Album Notes

"For easy listening from a master at creating the right mood, I strongly recommend "Jerry Scott...By Special Request."

This eclectic album of songs, given Scott's trademark flourishes, shows why he is one of the best and most popular in the business. In addition to gentle versions of standards such as "My Foolish Heart" and "The Nearness of You," Scott delivers lesser-known gems with the essence of a soulful troubadour. For instance, the Rod McKuen rarity "I'll Catch the Sun" is worth it's weight in solid gold.

Scott's profound reading of this uplifting ballad, juxtaposed with classical themes, is riviting. He is also the first person to record Peter Allen's optimistic "Making Every Moment Count" after the late entertainer himself. It's easy to see why Jerry Scott remains one of our town's most in demand entertainers. His album is a perfect example of a performer who doesn't compromise and remains true to himself."

He performed for Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser, and was then invited to perform for President Clinton two weeks later.
