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.

Michael McDonald covered "I Keep Forgettin'" with much success. "I Keep Forgettin'" was also covered by David Bowie on his album "Tonight".

Escuche por primera vez esta canción en la voz de Dionne Warwick en 1971. Me encanta y se ha puesto de moda en mi cabeza de nuevo en 2013, pues no dejo de tararearla. Todo lo que ha hecho el veterano Bacharach, y a hecho mucho, es magnífico.
@MaximMuir
This was not originally released-probably because of errors with the lyrics in two places-"I need TOMORROW, one day from tomorrow", instead of, "I need to BORROW one day from tomorrow", and "So wrap up that loving cup, I will wear it from this day on", instead of "So wrap up that loving cup, I'm a winner, from this day on"
@eaglestirreth
One of my fave Bacharach/David compositions....
@joxer66
Top version of this baccharach standard ! Chuck's the man
@califgirl101
Very nice. I have never heard a more beautiful version of this song before. I would like to dedicate this inspirational tune to all the troops that our fighting for the freedom of our country. Heaven bless those brave men and women. Could somebody please post the song Any Day Now by Chuck Jackson? Thank you for this wonderful song. :)
@4eva68
Wow... I'm use to the Dionne Warwick and Bj Thomas- This is good. Thanks.
@alexriddick8931
You are so right. Chuck Jackson is just a powerful and this is good. But Walter Jackson's rendition and style is right for this song. He was a remarkable singer!
@edwardjames50
Lainie Kazan also did a fabulous cover of this song on a '67 LP.
@sapho71
Good? This is great! I also like Lou Rawls' version, especially the preceding monologue.
@Pauljames720
The BEST version f tis song is by Walter Jackson - but it's not on YouTube. If anyone has it, please post. It was a favorite of mine an my buddies in Vietnam.
