CLARENCE "LITTLE SCOTTY" SCOTT WAS BORN ON MARCH 24TH 1945. LIL SCOTTY HAILS FROM FLORENCE SOUTH CAROLINA. WHERE AS A CHILD HE EXPERIENCED A UNEXPLICABLE HORROR THAT LEFT HIM DISFIGURED ON ONE SIDE OF HIS BODY. ON HIS TRAVELS LITTLE SCOTTY TOUCHED DOWN IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA FOR AWHILE, WHERE HE WAS TAKEN IN BY SHIPTOWN RECORDS LABEL OWNER THE LATE GREAT NOAH BIGGS (THE ORIGINAL MR. BIGGS) WHO LET LITTLE SCOTTY LIVE AND SLEEP IN THE BACK OF HIS STUDIO. YEARS LATER LITTLE SCOTTY MOVED ON TO THE BIG APPLE (NEW YORK CITY), WHERE HE STAYED FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS PIMPIN' AND HUSTLIN' AND CARRYIN' ON.  WHILE IN NEW YORK CITY HE RECORDED HIS MOST POPULAR AND MEMORABLE RECORD, THE 12 INCH MONSTER DISCO HIT OF 1978  " GOING TO A DISCO TO-NIGHT "  ALONG WITH THIS FIRST 45 SINGLE  " THINKING ABOUT MY BABY ". LITTLE SCOTTY THEN MOVED TO CHICAGO WHERE HE RESIDES TODAY. 

TODAY LITTLE SCOTTY IS A BLUES SINGER AND HE LIVES IN CHICAGO, THE CITY HE CHOSE TO MAKE HIS HOME

I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO LITTLE SCOTTY ON FRIDAY MARCH 20TH.

LITTLE SCOTTY CALLED ME FROM CHICAGO TODAY,  HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS HIS FIRST 45. IT WAS ON THE OBSCURE S & J LABEL OUT OF NEW YORK CITY BUT THE RECORD WAS RECORDED AT LENIS GUESS STUDIO IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA.

THE MORE I TALK TO LITTLE SCOTTY THE MORE I AM FASCINATED WITH THIS BROTHER. FROM STREET HUSTLER TO BLUES SINGER TO MOTIVATOR TO COMMUNITY LEADER AND EVANGELIST.  LITTLE SCOTTY SAID HE WOULD FREQUENT THE SAME CLUBS I USED TO ON THE WEST SIDE OF MIDTOWN MANHATTAN IN THE THE LATE 60' AND EARLY TO MID 70'S.  MISS LACEYS LOUNGE AND TOMMY SMALLS DOWNTOWN.  I MAY HAVE WALKED THE SAME STREETS AS LITTLE SCOTTY. SMALL WORLD ISN'T IT.

I CALLED LITTLE SCOTTY TODAY (JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE HIS BIRTHDAY) TUESDAY AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE OLD DAYS HUSTLIN' IN NEW YORK CITY, AND IT IS TRUE WE DID RUN THE SAME STREETS. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE BIG TIME PLAYERS I KNEW BACK THEN.  I FIRST ASKED HIM "WHO WAS THE OLDEST PIMP ALIVE WHO HAD 50TH STREET LOCKED DOWN? " LITTLE SCOTTY NEW IMMEDIATELY. HE GOT EXCITED AND YELLED THROUGH THE PHONE " THAT WAS PAPPY!"  PAPPY WAS THE OLDEST PIMP IN CREATION WHO KEPT A STABLE OF AT LEAST 30 WOMEN AT ALL TIMES. HIS HOES WORKED THE STROLL AT 50TH & BROADWAY, SEVENTH AVE AND SIXTH AVE. AND IT'S SURROUNDINGS. IT WAS GENERAL KNOWLEDGE BACK THEN IF YOU WERE PIMPIN' OR HOEIN' IT WOULD NOT BE WISE TO TRY TO APPLY YOUR TRADE ON 50TH STREET. PAPPY WAS ALSO A BIG TIME DEALER.

LITTLE SCOTTY KNEW EVERYONE I ASKED HIM ABOUT, INCLUDING THE CARS THEY DROVE!   K.C. DROVE THE ELDORADO WITH THE DIAMOND IN THE BACK (DIAMOND SHAPED WINDOW).  STERLING  HAD THE ELDORADO WITH THE LEOPARD SKIN ROOF.  LITTLE SCOTTY WAS THE ONLY PIMP AT THE TIME WHO HAD A LIMOUSINE, IT WAS LONG AND GREEN.  LITTLE SCOTTY KNEW DOLLAR BILL,  FRANK STEWART,  JIMMY DIAMOND,  JIMMY VALENTINE, PRETTY TONY, BIG ROY, DETROIT RED, VIRGINIA SLIM, TEXAS SLIM AND BROADWAY.  I AM STUNNED. I HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE LIFE FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER TALKED TO ANY ONE FROM NEW YORK CITY THAT KNEW OF THE CLUBS DOWNTOWN WHERE ALL THE PLAYERS AND HUSTLERS CAME TOGETHER TO RELAX AND TALK TRASH ABOUT THE HOES,THE NUMBERS, THE RACE TRACK AND CARS, LITTLE SCOTTY NOT ONLY KNEW THE SPOTS BUT KNEW EVERYONE PERSONALLY.  I NEVER KNEW LITTLE SCOTTY TILL NOW. I WAS INTRODUCED TO LITTLE SCOTTY AFTER THIS RECORD WAS LISTED. HOWARD BIGGS SON OF NOAH BIGGS UPON HEARING THAT I HAD LISTED A RECORD BY LITTLE SCOTTY GOT ME IN TOUCH WITH HIM.  LITTLE SCOTTY IS COMING TO VIRGINIA SOON AND WE ARE GOING TO GET TOGETHER AND REMINISCE ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD TIMES.

LIL SCOTTY SAID HE HAD 5 MASSAGE PARLORS IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, THAT WOULD MAKE HIM ONE OF THE BIGGEST MACKS OF ALL TIME. I REMEMBER SEEING A FEW OF THEM ACROSS FROM PORT AUTHORITY. I JUST TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT THEY WERE RUN BY THE MOB LIKE MOST OF THEM AT THAT TIME.

MAYBE THAT IS WHY I DON'T RECALL LITTLE SCOTTY BACK THEN, I WAS ON THE STREET AND LITTLE SCOTTY WAS TUCKED INTO THEM MASSAGE PARLORS MOST OF THE TIME, AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY REASON TO GO UP IN A MASSAGE PARLOR.

ONE THING FOR SURE THAT LITTLE SCOTTY AND I HAVE IN COMMON, IS NOT THAT WE HUSTLED THE SAME STREETS AT THE SAME TIME IN THE 70'S,  BUT THAT WE BOTH GOT OUT OF THE LIFE WITH OUR LIVES. THE MAJORITY OF OUR FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES WERE NOT SO FORTUNATE AS THEY WERE EITHER KILLED IN THE STREET OR ARE IN THE PENITENTIARY TODAY AND IF THEY GOT STRUNG OUT ON DRUGS THEY ARE SURELY DEAD BY NOW. I KNOW AS A FACT THAT TEXAS SLIM WAS STABBED TO DEATH IN HIS BED AT THE CHELSEA HOTEL ON WEST 23rd STREET BY HIS HOES WHILE HE WAS UNDER A COCAINE INDUCED STUPOR.  I HATE TO SAY IT BUT TEXAS SLIM LET HIS GUARD DOWN. I HAD SEEN SLIM EARLIER THAT SAME DAY. TEXAS SLIM WAS A GUERILLA PIMP WHO WOULD BEAT HIS WOMAN MERCILESS. 

TODAY IS LITTLE SCOTTY'S BIRTHDAY. HE SAYS HE'S 45. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE SCOTTY.

THE ONE LAST QUESTION I JUST HAD TO ASK LIL SCOTTY ABOUT THE STREETS WAS. WHO WAS BIGGER, NICKY BARNES OR FRANK LUCAS?  IT TOOK HIM LESS THAN A SECOND TO SAY "NICKY". THAT WAS THE ANSWER I EXPECTED AND WANTED. AS BULLSHIT HOLLYWOOD MADE FRANK LUCAS LOOK LIKE THE BIG HEAD HONCHO AT THE TOP ECHELON OF THE BLACK UNDERWORLD AT THE TIME, IN THAT LYING ASS MOVIE  'AMERICAN GANGSTER'  WHEN ALL FRANK LUCAS HAD WAS 116TH STREET IN HARLEM.  NICKY CONTROLLED HARLEM AND ALL THE FIVE BOROUGHS( THE BRONX, BROOKLYN, QUEENS, MANHATTAN AND STATEN ISLAND ) HE ASO HAD NEW JERSEY LOCKED DOWN. WHO THE HELL THEY TRYING TO KID?

FOR THE RECORD:  LITTLE SCOTTY WANTED TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE NEVER BEAT HIS WOMEN. HE WAS A SWEET MACK. LITTLE SCOTTY SAYS HE'S WRITING A BOOK ABOUT THE LIFE. HE SAYS HE'LL CALL IT  ' TALES OF A CLOWN ' 

I HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A NAME FOR MY BOOK YET. MAYBE IT WILL BE  "EVERYTHING PLAYS OUT" 

THE ONLY THING DEFINITE ABOUT THE LIFE IS IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST.

WELL SO MUCH FOR THE LIFE, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING RECORDS.
