SHINDIG #51 (1965) - [7of7] - The Searchers, Gene Chandler, Bruce Scott

[Supremes2]

More information on Bruce Scott, he was married once to actress Sandy Duncan (he was her first husband)

they were married only two years, yet no children, she became a mom with her

third husband. Bruce Scott was seventeen years old here (or eighteen) his talent has been endorsed by Merv Griffin, Al Hirt, Diana Ross and many more. But unfortunately he never made it to fame, but I like him, he has a very good singing voice.

remember...when many Lp's had "filler" songs..that were not worth a nickel...well Jack Good did the same on some of his weekly installments of Shindig. He knew once he had

some top groups (Betles, Stones, Searchers, Gerry & The Pacemakers)...but then we got more of the "Bruce Scotts"...of the industry...

Okay, I broke down and logged onto Wikipedia to solve the mystery of who Bruce Scott was/is. He is an Australian politician born in Oct 1943 (sounds like the right age) who became active in politics in the eighties. No mention of a career in music however. I think these Shindig shows explains why.

Australian politician? :)) I don't think it's him :) Bruce Scott is a quite common name. This Bruce was cute and had a pleasant voice. Unfortunately, just not everyone could make it :)
