While Scott was often made to  play the former thanks to the development-stunting condition that the latter  foisted upon him, he has enough conviction and strength (both vocally and  otherwise) to deliver a star-making performance. From the opening horn punch  of the collection\u00b9s title track, Scott is demanding attention be paid  despite his diminutive size. This attention is rewarded with an emotive set  of heart-felt selections that includes the plaintive &#8220;I Wish I Knew,&#8221; the  questioning &#8220;Alone with a Memory,&#8221; the lingering &#8220;Do You Mind if I Hang  Around&#8221; and the liberating &#8220;When You Surrender.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<p>Scott\u00b9s early signs of star  quality were also noted by greats like Lionel Hampton, Stan Getz and Dr.  Billy Taylor, all of whom lend their formidable talents to the new man-child  on the block. Despite early and lingering obstacles, &#8220;Little&#8221; Jimmy Scott  has turned himself into one of the biggest names in the world of Jazz  vocalism. And listening to these early recordings which have been thankfully  rejuvenated for the digital age, it is not difficult to see why.  <font size=\"1\" style=\"font-face:verdana; font-size:11px\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\">  \u00a9 2002 M.
