We invite you to respond to the questions below or add your comments. Selected submissions will be posted on our Talkback page, so check back regularly and join the discussion.
  • Jimmy Scott’s unique voice and lyrical interpretations are his trademarks. He says: “There’s hate stories, love stories and all of that, but to me the lyric must mean something.” How much attention do you pay to lyrics when listening to music?

  • Share a story of a time when you discovered, heard or watched Jimmy Scott.

  • Over the years, the record industry has exploited many artists and musicians. What are your thoughts on this relationship between music and money? Is it possible to make music solely for “music’s sake,” as artists’ collectives such as the Black Artists’ Group aimed to do in the 1960s?
