A VERY GOOD COPY OF THIS VERY RARE 1958 LONDON 78 FROM JACK SCOTT

GOODBYE BABY  b/w  SAVE MY SOUL

Giovanni Sacfone Jr., was born January 24, 1936 in Windsor Ontario, Canada. His father, an accomplished guitarist, gave Jack a guitar and taught him how to play it around the age of eight. At the age of ten, the family moved to Hazel Park, MI.

From his early teens Scott shouldered the burden as older brother to a family of seven boys and girls. Jack labored at assorted humble tasks to help out, gasoline attendant; truck driver; errand boy. Life was not easy, but all the while the young, muscular Scott strummed his guitar and doted on the sounds of country music streaming over the radio lines into the modest home in Hazel Park, Michigan.

At the age of 18, he formed the Southern Drifters and early pictures show them in fancy cowboy shirts and neck scarves.. After leading the band for three years, in 1957 when Scott was 21, Joe Carlton, head   A&R man at ABC-Paramount Records, signed  him to a solo contract. His first sides for ABC-Paramount in 1957 exhibited a profound country-rock synthesis. Three 1957 singles (including the hot "Two Timin' Woman") did well regionally (Detroit and Cleveland), but failed to break out nationally do to lack of promotion.

In early 1958,  Carlton decided to start his own independent label so he bought out Scott's contract and signed him to his Carlton label. While there Carlton allowed him to use his regular band from Detroit. While there he recorded a song recorded a song about a friend who was always getting thrown in jail "Greaseball.' Renamed "Leroy" when it was released. Debuting on Billboard's pop chart June 9, 1958 it would rise eventually reach #25..

All Scott's friends and his father knew "Jack had it"; it was a question only of getting the big break. That break came a few months later when some deejay flipped "Leroy" over and "My True Love" became a national hit reaching the #3 spot and staying on the top forty for 15 weeks. Thus developed the melting-pot miracle: A Canadian born, Italian hillbilly who worshipped Hank Williams and who soon sparked his own teen age band --- Scott played the guitar lead and vocals.

His first album was entitled simply Jack Scott..   One of the first album recorded in stereo, it contained a mixture of rockabilly and ballads of which 10 were Scott's own compositions. "Save My Soul,With Your Love," "Leroy," " No One Will Ever Know," "Geraldine," " I Can't Help It," " Indiana Waltz," " Midgie," " My True Love," "The Way I Walk," "I'm Dreaming Of You," and "Goodbye Baby." All of the songs were written by Jack Scott except: "No One Will Ever Know" (Force-Rose), "I Can't Help It" (Williams), "Indiana Waltz" (Rose).

From February to May 1959, Scott served in the Army. After his getting out of the Army Carlton released  "The Way I Walk"(#35), last rockabilly tune to make Billboard's pop charts, and "Midgie." Scott's pronounced emphasis on acoustic guitar distinguished atmospheric rockers like "Goodbye Baby," "Go Wild Little Sadie," "Midgie," and "Geraldine" that he  recorded while at Carlton. "Goodbye Baby" (#8),  was Scott's final hit on Carlton.
