The
youngest of three sons of Frank Roy Scott, Sr. and Alice Wilson Scott,
Frank Roy Scott, Jr. was born in Fargo in 1921.
Music was Frank's calling from the time he was very
young. He led a band and composed and arranged his first songs at age 12.
He also learned to play the guitar, banjo, ukulele, and harpsichord.
When Frank left NDAC, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and joined the orchestra of Paul Simms. He returned to
Fargo and arranged music for WDAY Radio. In the 1950s he moved to California and was an arranger for Lawrence Welk. He led
his own orchestra until his death in 1995. At the time of his death
he had arranged over 7,000 songs. Audrey Remme was born in Fargo and was a child singer, dancer and entertainer. She worked for WDAY for a number of years, later living in Minneapolis and California where she became a singer with Scott's band.
The
Frank and Audrey Scott Papers consist primarily of Scott's musical arrangements and
the documents relating to their careers in the music business.
