Robert William Scott (January 24, 1937[1][2][3] – November 5, 1990[1][4]) was an American musician, record producer, and songwriter.
Born and raised in the Bronx,[1][2][4][5][6][7] Scott became a pianist, vibraphonist, and singer, and could also play the accordion, cello, clarinet, and double bass.
[10] Scott led a jazz quartet—with Frank Socolow, Red Kelly, and Kenny Hume—that played at the side of the stage during the Broadway performances of "A Taste of Honey," at the Lyceum Theatre, October 3, 1960, through September 9 1961.
[14] In the 1960s he became a music teacher and studied again under Moritz, but occasionally recorded as well, including a Nat King Cole tribute album released in the 1980s.
He also composed film soundtracks, including the scores to Slaves (1969), Joe (1970), and Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow!
