Go Away Shadow


Sherree Scott
 
(Sherree Scott, Portland Music Co., BMI)

Crosby 8
1960



Born Virginia A. Scott in Kentucky, but raised in Florida. Moved to Oregon at the age of 16. 
She has toured many sections of the United States, Hawaii and Canada.  In addition to writing all her records, Miss Scott composed several other songs, including "Oregon Is God's Own Country," the Oregon centennial song.   Sherree Scott was managed by Mark Raymer, from Houston (who also managed Link Davis at that time).  Both moved for a  short period to Union Beach, New Jersey in 1960-1961 where Sherree Scott had her own live country music show heard each Sunday at 5:30 p.m. on WFHA-FM  while Mark Raymer was spinning country records at the same radio.

She became an evangelist and recorded a religious LP for Robbins Records with two of her young daughters, Melodee and Shirlee.  
 
In the seventies, she resided in Florida where her Foundation For Christ, Universal Evangelistic Miracle And Music Fellowship, Inc. was based.
 
She died in 1993, survived by 7 children.

Beach Girl


U.S. Beatles

Martin-Terry, Brigantine-Philter

DR Records, Inc.


Not sure exactly who owned this label.  Two other records that I know of (The Lifeguards and Cappy Bianco) on the same labels were third issues after being first released on Casa Blanca Records and then on ABC Records.

Martin and Terry, the composers, are Bob Martin and Phil Terry.
