Hey, What is a SCAT?
Well, in terms of music, it's a jazz vocalization using non-words.Originally Written by Com King
Example: "scoobady-do wop doobie-do yup badda bappa doya doya..."

One can include Karen Young's "Baby You Ain't Nothin' Without Me."

John Scatman: "I'm the scatman"
The 12" inch of Sharon Redd's "Can you handle it". That's rhythm scatting folks!
One of the best scat-artists however are Al Jarreau, Billy Paul and Miss Aretha Franklin "Jump to it").
Bonnie Pointer - Heaven Must Have Sent You (at the end)
George Benson - Off Broadway (1980)
Booker Newberry III - Shower Your Love (1983)

Somebody hip me on this track??? Never heard of it. Was it during his "Boss Soul" years?Originally Written by Marcio
Ohio Players-Please Don't Say Goodbye....best scat I ever heard hands down. (nobody does it better than Sugarfoot)
Ohio Players-Sugar's Blues
Johnny Guitar Watson-It's A Damn Shame
Sun-Long Drawn Out Thang
Anita Baker-she did it a lot in her older albums
George Benson-This Masquerade (he's very good at it doing them too)
**Funk Is It's Own Reward**
Eddie Harris - Get On Down......amazing, syncopated scatting from the late, veteran saxophonist.

Come with me - Tania Maria
...count?
Mmmmm a favorite of mine along with Stevie and Luther on "Part Time Lover"!Originally Written by remicks
Several good choices by the late, great Vicki Sue Robinson: "Nighttime Fantasy," "Feels So Good (It Must Be Wrong)" and of course "Turn the Beat Around" come to mind immediately. That girl could really cut loose!
\"...a once in a lifetime feeling that returns every week...\"
co-sign......Originally Written by FlyRobinFly
also Tata Vega - Just Keep Thinking About You Baby
non-disco wise I can recommend Ella Fitzgerald -Hotta Chocolata.Originally Written by eddie
Not only does she an amazing scat on the lyrics but the lyrics themselves are fantasy Italian babble that are fun and absolutely great
Disco wise Lenny Williams 'shoo doo fu fu ooh!'
quasi disco Trio -da da da (I don't love you you don't love me) aha aha aha
all*that*glitters*
Am I the only one who cracks up everytime I hear Bonnie Pointer's scat toward the end of "Heaven Must Have Sent You"? When she starts that "boop bup boop bup doop bup bup, I love you more and more each day" I have a huge ear to ear grin on my face each time.
I'm sure that wasn't the intended reaction, but it sure is funny to me.
