Linda Scott (born Linda Joy Sampson, June 1, 1945, Queens, New York) was a pop singer active in the early to mid 1960s. Her biggest hit was the 1961 million-selling single, "I've Told Every Little Star". She went on to place twelve songs on the charts over the next four years, the last being "Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed," which was one of the first collaborations between the songwriting team of Hal David and Burt Bacharach. Though she continued recording in the mid-1960s, her singles were less and less commercially successful, although they demonstrated a more progressive, soulful feel than her earlier recordings, with Scott's voice growing more supple and mature. Her last U.S. recording, "They Don't Know You", was released in 1967 on RCA Records. She continued to record as a backing vocalist (most notably on Lou Christie's 1969 hit, "I'm Gonna Make You Mine") and also released a handful of singles in the UK (on CBS and Bell) before finally quitting show business in the early 1970s to pursue studies in theology.
