WINFIELD SCOTT (SONGWRITER)

'Winfield Scott' (also known as 'Robie Kirk') was a songwriter who wrote the hit songs "Tweedle Dee" for LaVern Baker and "Return to Sender" for Elvis Presley.^[1]
"Return to Sender" written for the Presley film ''Girls! Girls! Girls!'' was his biggest hit, selling over has sold about 14 million copies in the U.S. alone.
Scott was a long time collaborator of Otis Blackwell and together they were hired to write a song for a Presley flim for the film ''Roustabout''. The film was release in (1964) but the recording of the song "I'm a Roustabout" by Presley was never used. In 2003 a remark made to a reporter by Scott started a search for the lost song recording of the Elvis song which was eventually found and now has been released.^[2]
Another Scott and Blackwell collaboration is the R&B classic "Home In Your Heart".^[3]
