10 Artists With Incredible Gaps Between Studio Albums
6. Jack Scott
Canadian-American Giovanni Domenico Scafone Jr, aka Jack Scott deserves to be much better known than he is. With a distinctive voice and plenty of swagger, his contributions to the golden age of rock 'n roll (and beyond) are worthy of inclusion in any serious history of the genre. Scott signed to ABC-Paramount Records in 1957, scoring local hits before a move to Carlton earned him a gold disc for the double-a-sided single My True Love / Leroy.
Scott enjoyed many other huge hits including 1960s' What In The World's Come Over You and Burning Bridges, both of which charted highly during his tenure at Top Rank Records. The singer proved equally adept at teary-eyed country ballads and tearing rockers, scoring cross-over hits which helped secure him a lengthy and successful career.
Although his penultimate studio album, The Spirit Moves Me, appeared in 1960, Scott continued to tour and perform, and even release live material. It wasn't until 2015, following a gap of 55 years, that the talented singer-songwriter released his final studio recordings, Way To Survive, which marked a fitting end to an illustrious discography.
