Mildred Virginia Jackson (born July 15, 1944), better known as Millie Jacks… Read Full Bio ↴Mildred Virginia Jackson (born July 15, 1944), better known as Millie Jackson, is an African-American R&B and soul singer-songwriter and actress whose music has also explored disco, hip-hop, pop, rock and even country. Her powerful vocal performances are also distinguished by long, humorous, and explicit spoken sections in her music; her work from the 1970s and 1980s, is often cited as an influence on female rappers. She is the mother of contemporary R&B singer, Keisha Jackson.
Born in the small town of Thompson, Georgia, Jackson was the daughter of a sharecropper. Jackson's mother died while she was still a child, and subsequently, she and her father moved to Newark, New Jersey. By the time she was in her mid-teens, she moved to Brooklyn, New York, and lived with an aunt. Jackson occasionally worked as a model for magazines like Jive and Sepia.
Her career is said to have begun on a dare to enter a 1964 Harlem nightclub talent contest, which she soundly won.
Though Jackson first recorded for MGM records, she soon left and began her long association with Spring records. Among her early hits was Hurts So Good which was featured in the blaxploitation film Cleopatra Jones. During the 1970s, she travelled the Southern club circuit along with other bands like The Mighty Majors. Jackson is a former Grammy Award nominee for If Loving You is Wrong (I Don't Want to Be Right) from the album Caught Up. On that album, the follow-up Still Caught Up, and others, she was backed by the renowned Muscle Shoals rhythm section. Her voice is frequently compared to Gladys Knight's.
Jackson's chart success continued into the 1980s. Two of her largest hits during this period include "Hot! Wild! Unrestricted Crazy Love" and "Love Is A Dangerous Game". Both songs reached the Top 10 of R&B chart.
Jackson wrote and starred in the touring play "Young Man, Older Woman," based on her album of the same title. Two more albums followed, 1994's Rock N' Soul and 1995's It's Over.
Jackson now runs her own record label, Weird Wreckuds. For the past several years Jackson has had her own radio show in Dallas, Texas. Broadcasting via remote from her home in Atlanta, Jackson can be found working during the afternoon drive time from 3-6 p.m. on KKDA 730 AM.
In 2000, Jackson's voice was featured in "Am I Wrong" by Etienne de Crecy, sampled from her performance in "If Loving You is Wrong". In 2001, Jackson issued her album, Not For Church Folk! on her own label, Weird Wreckuds. It includes the single, "Butt--A-Cize."

Oooh, yeeeeaaaah
[Millie Jackson]
Everywhere there are prisonners of love
Who will set them free, hear there voices crying
You know why you can never hear them now
Everywhere their walls look the same no lights in the street
Children smile, play again when our life might let them fall
Hey they're still singing our song straight from our ancesters cries
Years going by still no changes here how yes I feel that

[Refrain : Millie Jackson]
Maybe you can feel what my heart believes
You and I could make our own heaven
Just scare to go outside why do we do it
Same missing excuses and your house full of fear
If big shoes in your mailbox
Children let but my heart cries
Why do we hurt one and other, killing love
Killing love, killing love, killing love
[Couplet : Shurik'n]
A peine 8 heures
Les gens se couchent avec le jour, la nuit naît déserte
Les réverbères lèchent les cloches vêtues de froid
Que la faim a tenue en alerte
La rue ne rit plus que dans les yeux des gosses
Qui la hantent comme la honte quand un aut'
A ses pieds fuit enfin le malheur
Et sa vie est trop pleine de fausses notes
Sur le terrain la peur gagne, peur de tout, de rien
De ne pas avoir assez de biens
La peur de ne pas donner assez de coups
La peur de finir moins haut que le voisin
Dansent, les liens de la meute dense
Le cœur pour écrin, serein, et laisse leur silence
Qui glacent le dos où souffrance et jouissance sont jumeaux
Y'a trop de pression dehors
On sort chacun dans son scaphandre, ouais
Et parler, pour quoi faire
Quand y'a les mains pour s'comprendre, ouais
Le crime devient un passe-temps dans la nasse
On se débat souvent, mais la chance trace
Pas le temps et on tombe de guerre lasse souvent
Mais la rue, elle, demeure, telle un veilleur des grands innommables
Seconde après seconde, heure par heure
Sa voie dure comme fer narre la crise fable
Une seule histoire sans fin, une boucle séculaire, un mauvais air
A peine huit heures les gens se couchent, seule la rue erre
[Refrain 2 : Millie Jackson]
Maybe you can feel what my heart believes
You and I could make our own heaven
