Jimmy Scott, known as Little Jimmy Scott, was an American jazz vocalist celebrated for his unique high natural contralto voice and emotional performances on ballads and love songs. After experiencing success in the 1940s and 1950s, his career declined in the early 1960s, causing a period of obscurity. Nevertheless, he staged an impressive comeback in the 1990s. Scott’s distinct vocal style was influenced by Kallmann syndrome, a rare genetic condition that impacted his physical development and vocal characteristics.
