DON'T LET MY BABY RIDE - ISAAC SCOTT

Isaac Scott, a blues guitarist and singer was well known on the Seattle music scene and in such venues as the San Francisco Jazz Festival. His left foot and right leg were amputated in 1987 because of the diabetes.
Despite the physical handicaps, Scott kept performing in a wheelchair--a black one to match his customary cowboy hat, pants and shirt.

Credited with helping to build the Seattle blues sound, Scott retained tinges of the down-home blues from his native Arkansas. His music combined blues with elements of gospel and soul.
Scott, whose father was a railroad man, grew up in Portland, Ore., where he was exposed to both gospel and blues. He taught himself to play piano and guitar and began his career performing with gospel groups.

He toured the West Coast with one, the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi.

But from 1974 on, Scott concentrated on blues and became something of a founding legend for the groups and clubs that flourished along Seattle's First Avenue.
