Linda Scott (born Linda Joy Sampson, 1 June 1945) was a pop singer active in the early to mid 1960s. Her biggest hit was the 1961 million-selling single, "I've Told Every Little Star". 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," which was one of the first collaborations between the legendary writing team of Hal David and Burt Bacharach. Born in Queens, New York, Scott was still in school in New Jersey (Teaneck High School Class of '63) when she auditioned for Arthur Godfrey's radio show on CBS in 1959. After having won a place on the show, Scott and other young performers became regular guests on the show. During the show's run the young singer came to the attention of Epic Records and Scott made her recording debut (singing as Linda Sampson) with the single "In-Between Teen". Though still in high school, in 1961 she signed with Canadian-American Records, a record label that had struck gold with the Santo & Johnny single "Sleep Walk". The label changed her performing name to Linda Scott, producing and releasing the hit "I've Told Every Little Star," a standard written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern for their 1932 production Music In The Air. Scott's three biggest hits came in that first year, with "I've Told Every Little Star," "I Don't Know Why," and "Don't Bet Money, Honey." The first two were standards, while the third was one of Scott's own compositions. Scott was the showcase artist when Canadian-American started a subsidiary label, Congress Records, in 1962, and in fact both labels released new material of hers simultaneously. The following year, she hit the big screen, singing her hit "Yessirree" in the Chubby Checker vehicle, Don't Knock The Twist.
