Peggy Scott-Adams’ booming music business career
Peggy Scott-Adams was born on June 25, 1948, in Pensacola, Florida, and released songs such as Lover’s Holiday, Pickin’ Wild Mountain Berries, and Soulshake. In the 1960s, he worked as a cabaret vocalist and had several successful duets with Jo Jo Benson, including the 1969 hit I Want to Love You, Baby.

The record includes the song Bill, about a woman who complains that her partner has feelings for someone else. The song and music video became popular on different radio channels and aired for a long time. It eventually peaked at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100, before moving onto the Billboard 200, R&B and Top Blues Albums charts.
Contagious followed in 1997, and Undisputed Queen in 1999. Live in Alabama & More, Peggy’s fourth CD, was released in 2000. She went on to produce several more CDs, including Hot and Sassy, Busting Loose, and Best of Peggy Scott-Adams: 16 Hits! Back To The Roots, Life After Bill, and God Can and Will.
