Raymond Scott (born Harry Warnow, September 10, 19908 - February 8, 1994) was an American composer, band leader, pianist, engineer, recording studio maverick, and electronic instrument inventor.

Although Scott never scored cartoon soundtracks, his music is familiar to millions because of its adaptation by Carl Stalling in over 120 classic Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and other Warner Brothers, Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. Scott's melodies have also been heard in twelve Ren & Stumpy episodes (that used original Scott Recordings), while making cameos in The Simpsons, Duckman, Animaniacs, The Oblongs, and Batfink.

In 1939 Scott, seeking greater challenges during the swing era, folded his Quintet into a big band, including bass player Chubby Jackson. They were both a recording and touring success. When Scott was appointed music director of CBS radio in 1942, he made history by breaking the color barrier, organizing the first racially integrated radio band.
