Scott Murphy emerged in the 1990s with a vocal style that drew from Brill Building songcraft and classic crooners. His debut album, 'Scott Murphy Sings Standards,' came out in 1996 and established him as an interpreter of older material. He followed it with records like 'Introducing Scott Murphy' and 'Love Is the Answer.'
His song 'Baby Be Mine' was released as a single in 1998 and reached the top 20 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. It became his best-known track, alongside others like 'Decoder Ring' and 'Fire At Will.' In 2003, Murphy faced criticism over plagiarism accusations in the liner notes for his album 'Songs for the Jet Set.'
