There aren’t many of them, those voices that can just reach down inside of you. If you heard Jimmy Scott sing, you knew that you were in the presence of something extraordinarily rare and precious. How many other people can you name who sang on a Top Ten hit, left the scene for 40 years and came back bigger and better than ever? (NONE, that’s how many!). Vocalist Nora McCarthy heard Jimmy Scott, deep in her soul. In fact, she hears him still.
This Monday night from 6pm to 9pm EST, Nora and host Mitch Goldman put Jimmy Scott in Deep Focus, only on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD1 and wkcr.org.
