Life and careerSinging careerScott is a former bank clerk from Dunedin who started his music career in the late 1960s, singing with the local Dunedin band Klap.[1] In 1968 Scott joined the band The Fantasy which shortly thereafter moved from Dunedin to Christchurch.[1] For some time Craig Scott and The Fantasy were the resident group at "The Scene" dance hall/nightclub at 224 Tuam St Christchurch. Scott then joined the band Revival which won a Battle of the Bands contest in May 1969.[1] Winning the contest brought the band to the attention of HMV records and they were invited to Wellington to record a single, Viva Bobby Joe, which peaked at #14 on the national singles chart.[1] In April 1970 Scott was offered a solo career and left Revival, which subsequently broke up.[1] He was given a starring role in the television music series Happen Inn, which brought him national attention.[1] He released a series of commercially successful singles beginning with a cover version of Neil Sedaka's Star Crossed Lovers which was his only number one single.[2] Other singles included Let's Get A Little Sentimental, a cover of Australian pop star Ronnie Burns' Smiley, Ciao Baby, of which the singer Lynne Randell later performed a cover version which made the top ten, and When Jojo Runs. In 1974 Happen Inn was cancelled and Scott began to lose popularity.[1] Around 1975, his last single to be successful was Wind and Rain, peaking at #11 on the New Zealand pop chart.
