One of the first album recorded in stereo, it contained a mixture of rockabilly and ballads of which 10 were Scott's own compositions.
Recording for Carlton he came up with a rocking song about a friend in prison titled Leroy. The other side of the record was a sad ballad called My True Love.
Both songs were a smash in the Summer of 1958, the first going to #11 and the other as far as number 3 in Billboard's and made the Top Ten in Britain.
He followed it with Geraldine backed by With Your Love, the latter of which was a minor hit, With Your Love made Number 28 in the US later that year, Goodbye Baby peaked at Number 8 early in 1959 and was followed by The Way I Walk, a Top Forty hit that Robert Gordon revived in 1978.
Scott transferred to the new Top Rank label in 1959 and scored another huge success in the New Year with "What In The World's Come Over You." The song gave Scott his second gold disc, reaching Number 5 in the USA and Number 6 in the UK. Further successes followed Burning Bridge" (Number 3), Cool Water"/"It Only Happened Yesterday" but Scott was by then being steered towards a mainstream country style.
Listen and compare his "Blues stay away from me" with Bob Dylan’s, "Rainy Day Woman Numbers 12 and 35".

The Way I Walk
Jack Scott Lyrics
The way I walk is just the way I walk
The way I talk is just the way I talk
The way I smile is just the way I smile
Touch me baby, and I'll go home wild!
The way I love is just the way I love
Come-on and be my little turtle dog
Touch me baby, it feels so good
I feel it though I want to be, I don't know if I should!
Dee-oo-bee-oo-bee
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-waoh!
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-waoh!
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-waoh!
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-waoh!
Ah!ah! ah!
The way you love me got to sour my stile
Oh! little baby, I would say good-bye
Love me baby, love me right
Love me morning, noon and night

Ita was so sad to hear again one of our great herous...gone for heavenly bands. I love Jacks music allways!

"Dee-oowee, oowee oowee, oowee, oo-wha,- hip, hip, hip". Now, who can argue with that? "...Got to suit my style, now talk to me darlin'..love me morning, noon and night". Pretty darn suggestive song for its day, with one of the most catchy and simple opening hooks in R&R. I became officially cool after hearing this song in 1959.

Not nearly as suggestive as L'il Richard's "Good golly Miss Molly she sure likes to ball!"
Robby Bonter
Great recording, poor promotion, should have been a much bigger hit.

Rest in peace, Jack Scott!
