Nauman, III, was a lawyer in New Orleans and co-owner with the third Scott brother, Arthur Hammond Scott (born 1950), of the former Black Top Records, which preserved much of the rhythm and blues music culture.
Judge Scott died a week after the 9-11 terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and the Pennsylvania countryside. Mrs. Blanche Scott preceded Judge Scott in death by sixteen years.
