(1902–1991)
Billed as “the Silvery-Voiced Buckaroo,” Scott was one of the singing cowboys in the operatic tradition rather than in the country music tradition. He performed in his first film, Romance Rides the Range(1936), right after appearing in a San Francisco Opera Company production of Salome. His comic sidekick was Al St. John playing his Fuzzy character. Spectrum Pictures films with Scott and others were inevitably filmed on the cheap and proved to be rather shoddy affairs.
