Not the best ever in R&B but she is up there. But definitely the greatest storyteller with the ability to make her songs come to life is the reality of romance and its ups and downs . You also may find that Gladys Knight's voice is very similar but Millie has a higher reach
When I was in High School in the 80's, I would play Millie Jackson album every morning before I went to school. My sisters used to scream at me to play something else.🤣 Since I am the oldest, I played what I wanted. I only played her album after my Mom would leave for work. I would love to see a live performance.
Millie Jackson will never been forgotten becoz of nice songs with message. Never and ever loose touch with this lady who is one of the best in music industry.
Saw Millie in Birmingham on her British Tour and I have to say it was the best concert I have ever seen. What a voice, what stage presence and the bass player wasn't half bad too. I still have the concert programme somewhere. Millie is Soul all rapped up in one.
My dad had the Live and Uncensored double album. Long before walkmans, I'd sneak and listen to this album. She closed out her set with this medley and I became an instant fan of both songs.
