Biography
Nicknamed âThe Little Lady with the Big Voice,â Peggy Scott-Adams (born on June 25, 1948) is an American soul, blues, and R&B singer, and one of the greatest comeback stories in recent musical history. Scott-Adamsâ career began while she was still a teenager, touring with soul legend Ben E. King as a background vocalist. As a duet act with Jo Jo Benson, she managed to score 3 Top 40 singles in the late â60s: âLoverâs Holidayâ (1968), âPickinâ Wild Mountain Berriesâ (1968) and âSoulshakeâ (1969), after which she retired from the music industry to work as a lounge singer in her hometown of Pensacola, Florida. Following a years-long hiatus during which she got married and relocated to California in the late â80s, she was persuaded by producer Jimmy Lewis to return to the studio in the mid â90s. The final product of those recording sessions, Help Yourself (1996), topped Billboardâs Top Blues Albums chart and spawned the single âBill,â a tale about a closeted unfaithful husband in a heterosexual marriage that received heavy airplay on urban contemporary radio and helped relaunch Scott-Adamsâ career. She followed this success with Contagious (1997), Undisputed Queen (1999), and Live in Alabama & More (2000). Towards the end of the decade, the singer began a spiritual journey that resulted in two gospel albums: God Can, And He Will (2006) and Back to the Roots (2009).
