In his book Can Your Child Sing?, Opera singer Lauritz Melchior mentioned Jerry Scott:

"[Scott] was very much in demand at the night spots. Those who handled him did not sense the danger of overwork until it was too late. Too much singing at the critical time had overtaxed his vocal cords and his voice was injured."

He was alson in a movie called "Thrill of a Romance" (1945) with Van Johnson and Esther Williams. He played a Bellman named Lyonel and during a scene where the Tommy Dorsey Band (The real one) was playing he was singing from the balcony. It prompted me to look this up and it is so sad to see that he was ruined by the wrong handlers.
