Gloria Scott (singer)
Gloria Scott (born February 26, 1946) is an American soul singer.
Her first recording, titled "I Taught Him" by Gloria Scott and the Tonettes, was written and produced by Sylvester Stewart (better known as Sly Stone), and released in 1964 when she was 17 years of age. She signed a seven-year contract with Barry White in 1972. White produced the 1974 album What Am I Gonna Do, and a single "Just as Long as We're Together (In My Life There Will Never Be Another)" which reached the top 20 on numerous record charts. She recorded a second album with arranger H. B. Barnum, but it was never released.
Scott was recruited as a member of the Ikettes with PP Arnold in 1965 and she also worked as a background singer for Mary Wilson (of The Supremes).
Scott is a regular performer at The Baltic Soul Weekender in Germany.
Her first 45 single was written and produced by Sylvester Stewart, better known as Sly Stone: "Gospel Singer Gloria Scott and the Tonettes cut I Taught Him with Sly in 1964. Reminiscent of girl groups like Martha and the Vandellas, The Shirelles and The Ronettes, Warner Brothers picked up this single for distribution." In an interview with Christian John Wikane of Popmatters, Scott says: "He [Sly] just kind of took me under his wing. I sang at the Cow Palace. Sly and his sister and his cousin LaTanya backed me up and they were called the Tonettes: Gloria Scott and the Tonettes."
She then became a member of The Ikettes. Tina Turner says in her autobiography: "After [previous Ikettes] Robbie, Jessie and Venetta walked out, Ike had quickly scooped up two inexperienced L.A. girls, Maxine Smith and Pat 'P.P.' Arnold, and a young club singer from Palo Alto named Gloria Scott.".
She later met and signed a seven-year contract with Barry White. White produced and arranged her first album, What Am I Gonna Do, which was released in 1974. Two tracks were released as singles. The album is notable for being the second released by Casablanca Records—label number NB0002 (NB0001 was by Kiss). At that time Warner Brothers distributed the album, in multiple countries.
Roshad Ollison, writing in the Virginia Pilot, says "What Am I Gonna Do is among Barry's most pop-minded productions. Gloria's lone release, it is also a gem. … What Am I Gonna Do, a classy effort on par with Barry's best albums, soon faded away; Gloria did, too."
