James Victor Scott

Profile:

American jazz vocalist (born July 17, 1925, Cleveland, Ohio, USA - died June 12, 2014, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) also known as "Little" Jimmy Scott.
He became famous for his unusually high contralto voice, which was due to Kallmann's syndrome, a very rare genetic condition. The condition stunted his growth at four feet eleven inches until, at the age of 37, he grew another eight inches to the height of five feet seven inches. The condition prevented him from reaching puberty, leaving him with a high, undeveloped voice.

The singer's big break came in 1949, when Savoy Records.
