She moved to San Francisco Bay area where she met [a=Sly Stone], as her aunt sang in a group with him. When Sly heard her singing [a=Carla Thomas]' "Gee Whiz" he formed a group for her [a=Gloria Scott & The Tonettes] and wrote the two sides of their single [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/4375964]"I Taught Him"[/url]. After this, Scott started singing as back up singer for [a=Ike & Tina Turner] as a member of [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/299690-Ikettes-The]Ikettes[/url] and later in the early 70's she caught the attention of [a=Barry White] that signed her to his label [l=Soul Unlimited] and licensed her debut album to [l=Casablanca].
