Jackson startd out as a gospel singer in The Raspberry Singers. He was in the Dell-Vikings from 1957 to 1959.
After recording as Charles Jackson for the Clock label in 1959 he signed with Wand Records in 1961. He was immediately successful with his first single I Don't Want To Cry which reached No. 5 R&B, No. 36 Pop in the USA. He was with Wand through most of the sixties, scoring several R&B and Pop hits. In 1969 he moved to Motown but didn't do so well there. He continued to record throughout the seventies for labels like ABC, All Platinum and EMI America, scoring his last R&B hit in 1980.
Although never hugely successful his soulful voice resulted in 23 R&B top 100 singles in the USA and the same number of US Pop 100 hits over the course of 20 years.
Several of Jackson's songs later became hits for other artists including Ronnie Milsap, whose 1982 cover version of "Any Day Now" reached No. 1 on the Country and Adult Contemporary charts. Michael McDonald covered "I Keep Forgettin'" with much success. "I Keep Forgettin'" was also covered by David Bowie on his album "Tonight".
On 4 October 2015, Chuck Jackson was inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame.
All Over the World
Chuck Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's nobody else for me
Cause I'm feeling so proud to know you care
And if you need me I'll be right there
When I'm with you I shout it to the sky above
It feels so good to be in love
Cause if I had my net I'd throw it awayTo be with you at the end of a day
I could fly all over the world
I could try all over the world
Don't know why all over the world
I could search my whole life through
No one can compare to you
I have to say I can't really believe
And it's so hard for me to conceive
That so much happiness for me to feel
I can't believe that it's for real
I look at you and my head is spinning around
Till I no longer feel the ground
Because I hoped and prayed I'd find someone
Like you to build my dreams upon
I could fly all over the world
I could try all over the world
Don't know why all over the world
I could search my whole life through
No one can compare to you
I could search from east to west
Only to learn that you're the best
But you'll still be my guiding light
I could fly all over the world
I could try all over the world
Don't know why all over the world
I could search my whole life through
No one can compare to you
I could fly all over the world
I could try all over the world
Don't know why all over the world
I could fly all over the world
I could try all over the world
Don't know why all over the world
I could fly all over the world
I could try all over the world
Don't know why all over the world
