“Burning Bridges” is a song written by Walter Scott, and best known for its 1960 recording by Jack Scott, which was a #3 hit in the US. This was the only hit song for composer Walter Scott, who was no relation to Jack Scott.
The song was originally recorded by a relatively obscure country act called The Home Towners in 1957, but did not chart.
Recorded by Jack Scott in 1960, “Burning Bridges” reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 5 on the U.S. R&B chart, and No. 32 on the UK Singles Chart in 1960. The single was produced by Sonny Lester. It was featured on his 1960 album What in the World’s Come Over You.;
The song ranked No. 35 on Billboard magazine’s Top 100 singles of 1960. The single’s B-side, “Oh, Little One”, reached No. 34 on the U.S. pop chart.
In Canada the two sides were co-charted, reaching No. 2.
A different “Burning Bridges”, by the Mike Curb Congregation (No. 34, Billboard Hot 100/No. 16, Adult Contemporary Chart), was featured in the 1970 Clint Eastwood movie, Kelly’s Heroes.
