At the age of 18, he formed the Southern Drifters and early pictures show them in fancy cowboy shirts and neck scarves..

Their show at the Rainbow Theatre was recorded and released by EMI Records as a live album in 1978.

When he growled "The Way I Walk," wise men (and women) stepped aside. Scott was inducted into The Michigan Country Hall of Fame in 2004 and The Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Jackson, TN in 2006.
