Just received new CD from Ace, George Jackson Don't Count Me Out The Fame Recordings.
There have been several cds issued on George Jackson over the years, many of which contain demos of hits recorded by others. If you don't know him, be sure to check him out..... never a dud. Whilst he is primarily recognised as a songwriter for Johnnie Taylor, Wilson Pickett, Z Z Hill, James Brown, Clarence Carter, Millie Jackson, Otis Clay, Denise Laselle etc etc, he is a remarkable singer in his own right.
Here's a fun video of George and another veteran with an amazing track record as a composer, horn player, pianist and arranger, Harrison Calloway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDrM3nl0DtU
Rehearsing Cheating in The Next Room and Down Home Blues for an event honouring George.
These guys are genial giants.
Only 230 views, fun to watch. Both these gentlemen deserve much greater recognition. Good for Ace for issuing the Fame material.
Here's a nice George track....
