Scott "Top Ten" Kempner (born 6 February 1954, Bronx, New York, US) is the rhythm guitarist with The Dictators since they formed in 1974 (only leaving the band for a few years starting in 2002). He is also a founding member of The Del-Lords. Kempner contributed "Apache Tears" to the 2007 compilation album ''Song of America''. He released his second solo album, ''Saving Grace'', in July 2008 on 00:02:59 Records. In the early 1990s, Dion DiMucci joined Kempner and Frank Funaro of the Del-Lords and Mike Mesaros of the Smithereens in a short-lived band called Little Kings. A live album was later released, but not widely circulated or promoted. In Summer 2008, ''Variety'' said about Kempner: "If the world were a just and fair place, Scott Kempner would be stopped regularly by musicians and music fans thanking him for the effect the records he made with the Del-Lords and the Dictators had on their lives. Kempner's music is impossible to not like: He's the rare master at making three-chord rock 'n' roll - inspired by the 1950s and '60s - sound fresh and vital, simultaneously urban and twangy, heartfelt, political and personal."〔(Variety.com - Scott Kempner )〕 A Del-Lords reunion album and tour was done in 2013, and Kempner sang and played guitar on the Carla Olson album ''Have Harmony Will Travel'', performing Little Steven's "All I Needed Was You". ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Kempner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
