Dutch singer Milly Scott (1933) gained a lot of popularity in her country the Netherlands, in the middel sixties, when she starred at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1966 with the song Fernando & Filippo. It was the first time Holland sent an exotic song, Scott being from Surinam origine, to the festival.
In the ‘50-s she worked five years in Sweden, where she sang with great artists like Quincy Jones, Judy Garland and Gerry Mulligan. Then she returned to Holland, to perform jazzsongs in several tv-shows. She had two shows of her own: “Scott in de Roos”, and “Hello Milly”. She was invited three times at the North Sea Jazzfestival. The clip we found in our archives shows Milly in the dutch tv-programme “Voor de vuist weg” in 1979. She sings “Route 66”, a classic from 1946, about the famous road between Chicago and L.A..
