He was the older brother of composer and bandleader Raymond Scott (b. Harry Warnow), and is credited with steering his younger (and eventually more famous) brother into a career in music.[1] Early yearsWarnow was born in Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire) to Jewish parents, and came with them to the United States when he was 9 (Another source says age 5[2]).

That was followed by a stint as bandleader for the Music Box Revue.[2] RadioWarnow enjoyed a lengthy and versatile career with the CBS Radio network. He was CBS music director in the early 1930s, and hired his younger brother Harry as a keyboardist in 1931.
