Irene & The Scotts

[Val (Chunky)]

A voice that could stop cars, but does anyone know who Irene is?

.....and who are the 'Scotts' for that matter?

A bit off topic as I haven't got a jar of glue about who Irene and the Scotts are. Sorry Val.

But someone once asked me about a record was that I had played. I replied it was 'Drake and the Ensolids'. To which he replied 'I wonder who or what was an Ensolid'

there's an Irene Scott on Midas.

Maybe some connection,although vocally more mellow than the "Stuck on my baby" girl. .

I responded to Mel on soulfuldetroit, but I think this record is connected to chicago (even though it is obviously produced and recorded in detroit). The scott brothers also have a smash 45 with the same detroit production, and it's definitely the chicago scott bros as it's their publishing. All the same names are on the irene and the scotts on smash. It may be related to Irene Scott, I'm not sure. I am going to try to find out soon about this, I will post if I get any info.

[Val (Chunky)]

Thanks for all the info' so far

it would be interesting to know if she did anything else

Ray Monette - he's Ray of Michael and Raymond fame, isn't he?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Irene Scott, since vocally it's similar to her "You're No Good" on Midas, and the Scotts are very likely to be the Chicago Scott Brothers who also had a release on Smash together with Toddlin' Town. Zachron and USA.
