Scott Fagan was a brilliant wild child from the Virgin Islands. ‘De white man from de black lan’ who was “banned from the biz" in 1971. “Ah…my mother my sister and I were among the poorest people that I had ever seen. Still, I was never without love or hope. I saw that many people were, I felt these things and I began to sing.” And sing he did. In August 1964 Scott stepped off a 50-foot sailboat just south of Coconut Grove, FL. By September, (on his first day in New York City), Scott was signed by the legendary Doc Pomus (Save The Last Dance For Me, Teenager In Love, Viva Las Vegas) and in October he was signed to Columbia Records. By way of warning, Doc said "Scott, it's gonna be rough, you sing too good!" Here's what some others had to say: Cashbox Magazine: Spinal Tap melodies…His range is phenomenal. Billboard: "A Poet" William Krasilovsky, Author of THIS BUSINESS OF MUSIC, l and ll: "Scott Fagan is a genius. I'll certify that." Scott's first albums "South Atlantic Blues" (ATCO 1968) (immortalized by Jasper Johns as "Scott Fagan Record") and Many Sunny Places (RCA 1976) created the "Contemporary Caribbean" (Continued at www.scottfagan.com, "Who The Heck Is Scott Fagan)
