 Peggy Scott came to fame at the end of the 1960's when her duets with Jo Jo Benson rose into the Billboard top 30 and the R&B top 10, and hits like 'Lovers Holiday' and 'Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries', featured regularly on radio and jukeboxes (and can also be found on RPMSH 209). Those hits were written by Bob McRee and Cliff Thomas, and some ten years later, in 1978, Peggy resurrected her solo career with a collection of fine songs written by the same guys, produced by Bob McRee in Jackson, Mississippi, and in keeping with the style of the era.Though a couple of tracks were released at the time in England and Germany, the other material has remained in Bob McRee's studio archives until a deal was struck with Shout Records which enables us to present the gritty and soulful solo recordings of Peggy Scott, southern soul diva, to a global audience. There was an attempt to hit the UK club market in the late 70's with remixes produced by Pete Waterman, which we are happy to also include as a bonus here. Peggy is still active on the US gospel and blues festival circuit, further scoring a recent US hit with the song Bill , in turn billed as Peggy Scott-Adams.
