Scott later landed a major UK tour with Gene Pitney.
Scott was spotted by music promoter Derek Nicol after he won Southern Daily Echo Star Trail and went on to represent Bournemouth at the British Resorts Association national final in Leamington Spa.
Nicol was one of the judges who awarded Scott not only first place but also the award for best speciality act.
On the basis of an eight-minute performance, Nicol asked Scott to do the entire first half of each show on the 22-date tour.
The tour started off at Southend's Cliffs Pavilion on 25 April 2000 and ended at the Bristol Hippodrome on 21 May 2000.
A total audience of around 60,000 people saw him and many of the venues sold out.
This was the third major British tour for the American singer in less than two years, and came as a result of the demand for the tickets on the two previous outings.
