About Linda Scott
Linda Scott is an American pop singer and actress who was active from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Her biggest hit was the 1961 million-selling single "I've Told Every Little Star"., recorded and released when Scott was just 15. An occasional songwriter, Scott self-penned her second biggest hit, "Don't Bet Money Honey", which was also a top 10 US success in 1961. She went on to place twelve songs on the charts over the next four years, the last being "Who’s Been Sleeping In My Bed," inspired by the film and written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach. In 1962, she portrayed a fictionalized version of herself in the musical film Don't Knock the Twist. She retired from performing in her early twenties, later going into teaching. During the show's run, the singer came to the attention of Epic Records and made her recording debut (as Linda Sampson) with the single "In-Between Teen". White also played piano on the record. After having won a place on the program, Sampson and other young performers became regular guests.
