He was 62! Boy do I feel old.

So much for 007 consideration...

This is the same JJ Jackson who wrote songs for Mary Wells, the Shangri-Las, Barbara Lewis and many, many more. The same JJ Jackson who had the first US R&B number one with a record made in England (But It's Alright - classic, go find it if you ain't got it), the man who started out in brilliantly-named The Greatest Little Soul Band In The Land. And they didn't mention any of THIS? Sheesh.

:( This was the guy that made 'O-Ma-Liddy' with the Jackals, right? I dig that song.

How sad.

I think that was JJ Jackson and the Jacknels.
And, um, of course, The Greatest Little Soul Band In The Land was 1969, after his Calla, Strike and Loma solo stuff. Not like what I said upthread.

But It's Alright should be listened to on a daily basis.
