Millie Jackson (LP)

Millie Jackson's first single was released on the MGM label in 1969 but her career took off when she signed to Spring where she teamed up with producer Raeford Gerald. The single 'A Child Of God (It's Hard To Believe)'/'You're The Joy Of My Life' was a Top 30 R&B hit and 'Ask Me What You Want'/'I Just Can't Stand It', 'My Man, A Sweet Man'/'I Gotta Get Away From My Own Self' and 'I Miss You Baby'/'I Ain't Giving Up' not only did more damage on the R&B chart but also entered the Hot 100.

All four singles appeared on her debut LP "Millie Jackson" issued on Spring in 1972.

Despite later international success "Millie Jackson" has, amazingly, not been reissued since 1989 and so, over 30 years later, Ace have put it back on wax where it belongs.
