MABEL SCOTT
Born the youngest of three children in Richmond, Virginia, on 30th April 1915, Mabel Bernice Scott's family moved to New York City when she was just six. She started piano lessons the following year and began singing at The Metropolitan Baptist Church, going on to form her own female gospel group, The Song Cycles. Turning to secular entertainment, Mabel Scott made her professional debut at the age of 17, working at the Cotton Club in Harlem with the Cab Calloway Orchestra and the Nicholas Brothers.
Consistent with Mabel Scott’s unfortunate and undeserved obscurity, there is very little information to be found about her online or elsewhere.
