This is Calvin Simmons. Jorge and Calvin were in the
church choir at Jorge's grandmothers church when they both were kids. Jorge was in the choir singing
Calvin was not only singing but he was the piano player for the choir and he could'nt be more than 12 at the time. Calvin
was very talented. He later became the first black conductor for the Oakland Symphony what an accomplishment. The organ player
was a man named Donald Corbin who still lives in San Francisco together they were great! Jorge tried to get together
with Donald to play on the CD but it didnt happen Jorge hopes to get local musicians on his next project.
 This is Two Tons Of Fun Izora Armstead right and Martha
Wash left. In my bioagraphy I mentioned how as a kid I was in two church choirs and I didnt like it cause I wanted to be outside
playing. Well the first choir was with Calvin Simmons and the second was in a choir called the Tri State Choir with Izora
Armstead I knew her as Izora Bar Rhoads when I was a kid her mother and my grandmother on my mothers side were friends. Now
you talking about talent for me to have been around both these talented people was an honor. I didnt realize then but Izora
was doing what Aretha Franklin was doing singing in her fathers church choir and playing the piano to sharpen her skills for
what was later to come, and man on man was Izora good I mean real good. I am glad to have found the One True Faith later in
my life but I am glad I had the contact with her and they both were truely great singers when it came to the piano
Izora was one of the best.
 This is Victor Willis we went to Polytechnic High School together
over near the old Kezar Stadium where the 49ers use to play. Victor was a good singer even back in high school. This is what
I was telling you in the bio there was a lot of talent in San Francisco at that time. Victor later became the motorcycle cop
for the world famous Village People.

New York. I listen to the show as much as time allows just to see what my competition is doing because it is all

My main man JJ on da radio JJ does a mean oldies show when he's not playing Jorge C Scoot music JJ played
my first demo on the radio back in 1980 Even though it was the worst demo ever made JJ gave it a spin for me
anyway. We laughed about that on a interview later because JJ had played me right before playing Mr Marvin Gaye
I told him that he didn't do me a favor doing that so he asked" you knew it was bad when you put it out?" "I
said no I didn't think it was bad when I put it out I found out it was bad when it played next to Marvin with all
that Motown backing" I deeply appreciate KPOO for helping me to keep my music out there. I have done other interviews
with JJ as well over the years and I always look forward to it every time KPOO let me come in. Going into KPOO back
then was like walking into Motown for me or some other big event becasue my work was going to be on the radio for the
first time in my life!. KPOO is truely into helping the people and thats what it is all about help someone when you can, it
will always come back to you. Ckeck the KPOO dj schedule to see when JJ is on DA RADIO or another one of your music
genra is playing!

 This is Casino (Gaylord Ballard) the female is Gwen Ridgeway. Gwen also grew up with Jorge in the Fillmore area they
have known each other a long time. Casino and Jorge started singing as kid’s in the projects where there was a echo
in the gates as they called them. They were called the gates because at one time it was used as a storage locker under the
buildings of the projects. Jorge says Casino, and Lawrence Brown were two of the best 2nd tenors he had every sang with, he
say's I mean these guys could sing with any tenor in the R&B game at that time, I tried to make into the business
with these two for a long time, however if there was any truth in the Temptation movie about the relationship with David Ruffin
and Otis Williams this was that kind of relationship we had. We just didn’t share the same visions of what the music
business was about says Jorge. Way back in the 70’s, I wanted to stop singing other people’s music I mean we were
great at sounding like other people but I wanted my own sound our own sound for that matter. We were all in a club as we called
it back then The Marvalows now they are called gangs but we were not like the kids today and, Jorge said despite the differences
I still loved them both deeply like a brother. Casino later was in a group called the Malatics they did some recordings back
in the day on wax. Matter of fact for awhile before that there was Jorge, Casino, Lawrence Brown, Michael Page John Glen and
that was the first time Jorge said he decide he wanted to be a singer. The other great tenor Jorge said he sang with was a
guy by the name of Ray Ragler. Ray was great he could sing any key. I wanted to hook up with Ray again because in my next
project I am going to use some background singers but it wasn’t meant to be. Another great 2nd tenor was Wayne Banks Jorge remembers him well Wayne was a very strong singer with a tenor
voice that was just great. Jorge mostly sang baritone and background and really enjoyed it and when he was with these guys
he could do a high baritone which he liked, it was the same way Paul Williams of the Temptations sang. He says he actually
have a hard time now staying at baritone when he went out on his own. However Jorge says the truth be told I was in so
many singing groups, I had a great time with all these guys and what I remember most is back then we dressed clean. We all
had our specialties and brought a unique talent to a singing group. Jorge says he wanted to mentioned this because Casino
and Ray and a few others are no longer with us but he wanted to let the world know how good these guys were because they were
a part of his life in music. He goes on to say there are so many musicians, singers and bands who were far better than me
Granny Goose And The Soul Chips was one that came to mind at that time Johnny Baker and others but never got to the point
of a recording a CD, not to mention writing and singing all your own songs, or a web site and music on the radio yet I did
how? I don’t know yet I am glad I did, it is a life long dream come true for me I remember my brother Duane Glenn Coats
saying that to me one time in a phone conversation he said it was my dream I was glad someone knew it was my dream and I will
never forget where I came from like some do, I will be the same with you now as we were as kids which is the basis for the
song Success and Fame. One of the reasons Jorge say's he got to where he wanted to go is that now
you don’t need the big record companies any more back in the 70s you couldn’t make it without them. The internet
has made a lot of things possible now and it is only the start of something big for the independent artist.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
In order for one to reach a dream or goal it takes a lot of dedication, time and confidence in oneself along
with strong faith in the Creator. Today is the best time for the musician,singer,band as we dont need Motown, Capital Records
or any of the other past great record companies to make it. I signed on with a few companies who are dedicated to helping
the independant to get their work out there. I went after the independant radio stations and got my music out there and in
the end my work was heard all over the world just on my efforts and the help of some people who share the dream I have as
an independant artist. On CD Baby alone I share the sells work with all the known singers and the unknows trying to make a
name for themselves. I am proud to have had my work sold in the same stores and online stores as the Tempations and all the
greats I grew up listening too I mean that is a honor. Even now David Ruffin Jr. and others are with me on CD Baby a place
for independants to sell their work. There is still a long way to go and many more doors will open. NEVER
GIVE UP!

Jorge C. Scott
 This is Jorge in 1983 he makes his dedication to God and
is baptiezed as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Jorge say that since then he has lived a Christian life as best he can. He
say's he is not perfect and fall short many times of God's undeserved kindness but he does his best. The love that
Witnesses have for each other is something that is dear to his heart. When Jorge get a chance to talk to young ones and
the subject of religion comes up he say's he tell's them that living a Christian life is just as cool as living
a worldly life. Jorge say's he is just as cool as he has ever been since being baptized it's just now he
doesn't knowingly practice sin. Jorge does not smoke, does not use foul language, does not get drunk, and does
not sleep with women he is not married too. That is his Bible based beliefs. He lives a devout Christian
life as best he can and does not miss the life he lead before that.
 This is the one and only Sly Stone June 2007 on his hopped up hip cycle.
Sly use to be a DJ on KSOL when Jorge was a kid and at Poly High.
CD BABY
A Great Place for Indie's.
Becasue of CD Baby My CD was on the internet with Tower Records.
I did the footwork to get the CD into the Tower Records Stores.
That was one of the high points of my music carrer to have been in the Tower Stores
The world famous Apollo it speaks for itself. I ask Jorge would he go to the Apollo and do the
talent shows he said no. I ask why he said he would do the Apollo on a invite but not in the talent shows cause he knows he
can't win in those kinds of formats. I ask why is that a lack in confidence? He said it is because other people are far
better at singing other peoples music I am the best in the world at singing Jorge C Scott songs so talent shows and American
Idol and such is not for me.
