@hobbestoo Wow! I didn't even know Brook Benton was originally a demo singer. Jett must have done a hundred or more but with 500 Brooke is the clear winner.
@rontenn How many did Powers aka Proby do? While writing with Clyde Otis from 1955-58 and before his first pop hit "It's Just a Matter of Time", Brook Benton made an estimated 500 demos. Artists who heard his demos and recorded those songs included Nat Cole, Clyde McPhatter & Roy Hamilton. Writer/producer Clyde Otis released about 30 of Brook Benton's demos on a double LP in the '70s.
