Little Scottie is a Chicago based Blues musician with a tall heart and soul. Diminutive in stature, his big voice can belt out the Blues like nobody's business. You can catch him at the Cotton Club in Chicago or on Maxwell Street during their jam sessions each summer.

Little Scottie hails from Florence, South Carolina. His goodness and faith gave him the strength to rise above environment and circumstance. He suffered third degree burns when he was young and had to be hospitalized for years. He was raised in Savannah Grove Baptist Church and sang in the choir. Bearing not only a great love for gospel music and its message, Little Scottie gradually began to branch out into street entertainment and then touring. The man Clarence Scott chose the show business name "Little Scottie" in honor of Little Richard.

Scottie has recorded eight or nine albums and a number of singles. He moves easily from Blues to Soul to Gospel and back to Blues. We especially appreciate his authentic interpretation of southern Blues and "Chicago Blues."

In addition to his music career, he is very active in a number of community and civil causes. His artful and genuine emphasis on the educational approach as he spreads his message of racial goodwill, tolerance and harmony should be an inspiration to us all.
