Born Jill Heather Scott in the North Philly neighborhood of the City of Philadelphia, PA on April 4, 1972, Jill Scott began her career as a performance poet. She was discovered by Amir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots. Questlove invited her to join the band in the studios, which resulted in the live version of "You Got Me" in 1999.
Subsequently, she collaborated with Eric Benet, Will Smith, Lupe Fiasco, Common and broadened her performing experience by touring Canada in a production of the Broadway musical Rent.

Song title: He Loves Me (Lyzel in Eb) Original Album: Who Is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Volume 1
Jill Scott's classic song about her former husband Lyzel Williams. It IS in Eb, so if you want to play along, you'll have to flatten the four chords by a semi-tone (i.e. Ebm7, Abm7, Bmaj7, Bb7). As they can all be played as barrés, that's not too difficult. Lianne La Havas plays a cool version of this at her live shows.
