Hi Tony C, Peggy Scott-Adams is the same Peggy Scott who recorded Lover's Holiday, Picking Wild Mountain Berries & Soulshake, with Jo Jo Benson in the 'late '60s. After the '60s, she left the recording industry & sang in lounges in Florida. She moved to California & married a Comissioner sometime in the 80s. She released Bill on Miss Butch records (Miss Butch 2208) in 1997. It charted R&B on 3/22/97,had a 10 week stay & peaked at #50. The name of the CD is "Help Yourself" & should be quite available. You should be able to find it for about $13, US dollars. Try Gemm or Amazon.com. I hope that this helps!

Hey! I remember on the radio Herb Kent had played "Bill" by Peggy Scott Adams & then turned right around and played The Marvelettes-Don't Mess With Bill! That was so funny to me! Handsome | ||

Tony, there's an in depth article about Peggy Scott-Adams, in the latest ITB magazine. Among the others artists featured are Lenny Williams, Randy Brown, Eloise Laws and Garland Green. It's time to suscribe !!! | ||

Great record, Tony! The UK label Dome Records issued the CD and a single of "Bill" in the late '90s, so you might find them in UK stores. BTW, there's a fine Peggy Scott-Adams article/interview in the latest issue of the excellent UK magazine "In The Basement". | ||

Hey ,Soul brother i appreciate your comments ,but how many sounds in the U.K.that we count as classics from 30/40 yrs ago do we love and people on the other side of the pond don,t even know of their exsistence.It would be a sad day if we all knew every record,surely we are all there to share knowledge with each other(or that,s the way it has been for years).

Hi! I recently received the new Peggy Scott-Adams gospel cd, also on Jimmy Lewis' label, Miss Butch Records. Her singing is as great as ever, but I just hate those machines and programming and that Jimmy's doubled saccrahine background vocals. I tolerate this record only because of Peggy's vocals. Best regards Heikki |
