    About Jimmy Jackson:
    Jimmy Jackson was born August 1st, 1945 in Harlem, New York City, New York to a mother who was a gospel vocalist inspiring him to follow her footsteps. He was immediately rewarded in 1959 by winning the top honors for amateurs night at the famed Apollo Theatre in NYC.
    It convinced him to follow his dream as a vocalist musician but then he pursued a career in law enforcement becoming a New Haven, Connecticut police officer in 1975. He continued to record and perform even getting an album deal with Neil Bogart's Buddah Records in the process releasing his cover of Lobo's "I'd Love You To Want Me" in 1974.
    That lead to his recording and releasing "Rollin Dice" with his soulful covers of then recent hit pop songs sprinkled in a few originals that round out the collection did not chart. His fifth release for the label was a 12" only release of "Freedom To Express Yourself" His last single, "It's Summertime Again" was released in 1981
    Not much is known what happened to the 6' 3" artist after that. He was known to perform with a Bridgeport, Connecticut female trio by the name of "Black Magic" consisting of Charlene Whittaker, Rose Gaines and Bennie Dennis. He was also backed by the Naugatuck, Connecticut band by the name of Water Witch, who accompanied him on the 3-night stand he had with Melba Moore and other Buddah Records acts at the Apollo Theatre. The father of five was also a Jehovah's Witness, died April 30th, 2003 at he age of 57.
