An Evening in Paradise

James Victor Scott (July 17, 1925 – June 12, 2014), known professionally as Little Jimmy Scott or Jimmy Scott, was an American jazz vocalist known for his high natural contralto voice and his sensitivity on ballads and love songs. After success in the 1940s and 1950s, Scott's career faltered in the early 1960s. He slid into obscurity before a comeback in the 1990s. His unusual singing voice was due to Kallmann syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that limited his height to 4 feet 11 inches (150 cm) until the age of 37, when he grew by 8 inches (20 cm). The syndrome prevented him from reaching classic puberty and left him with a high voice and unusual timbre. more »

An evening in paradise
I spent with you
Heaven on earth
I shared with you

Your kisses were like
The first spring flower
I'm glad, so glad
This evening was ours

Our hearts beat in rhythm
While looks of love abound
Rising too high
Lovers can't do without

We live for just the moment
In our secret rendezvous
Sharing an evening
In paradise with you
