Gloria Scott is a soul singer hailing from Port Arthur, Texas, who made her mark in the 1970s with a voice that's equal parts smooth and powerful. She got her big break after being discovered by Sly Stone, but it was her collaboration with Barry White that really put her on the map—he produced and arranged her debut album, *What Am I Gonna Do*, released in 1974 on Casablanca Records. Tracks like "That's the Way Love Is" and the title cut showcased her emotive style, blending heartfelt lyrics with lush orchestration, though the album didn't blow up commercially at the time. It's since become a cult favorite among soul and rare groove fans for its timeless vibe.
Over the years, Gloria kinda stepped back from the spotlight, but her music has seen a resurgence with reissues and remixes, like the expanded edition of her classic album and fresh takes on songs such as "All Of The Time, You're On My Mind." She's one of those underrated gems in soul history, with a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh—definitely worth spinning if you're into that Barry White-era groove.
