CHUCK JACKSON Since I Don't Have You Pye International 45rpm 7N.25287
An R&B pioneer Chuck Jackson has been honoured for being one of the first "soul singers". Jackson was the recipient of the 1992 Rhythm and Blues Foundation Pioneer Award. He has also been honoured with induction into the Apollo Theater Hall of Fame, designation as an “American Treasure” by the Smithsonian, Institution, induction into the National Black Sports and Entertainment Hall of Fame for Cultural Achievement, and receipt of the Motown Heroes and Legends Award. In the days before the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that made school segregation unconstitutional, the South Carolina schools discriminated against African American students. Chuck Jackson experienced this first hand at age 13. His local school was closed. He was sent to the cotton fields to work denied the opportunity to learn. As he was laboring in the fields he watched bus loads of white students ride past on their way school. Without a high school degree he would not be able to use his South Carolina College scholarship.   Fed up he decided to follow his mother moving north to Pittsburgh to get an education in 1950. 

Jackson moved in with one of his seven aunts to attend school in Pittsburgh.  His love of music drew him to the clubs of the Hill District.  At 14 he began sneaking into jazz clubs to watch drummer Art Blakey and pianist Horace Silver.  They always kicked him out, but he said in an interview that it was worth it.  "Thank God I did it, Because today I incorporate jazz and pop into my rhythm-and-blues performance. It's a wonderful mix; I picked it up from sneaking in and listening."  Jackson stayed with his aunt until he completed his public school education.  In 1955 Chuck Jackson joined the Doo Wop group The 5 Mellows singing tenor with them at the Bonange Club on Route 51 South and at the Blue Ridge and the Cobe Hotels. After Jackson left the group they became the recording artists the 4 Dots.  In 1955 and 1956 Jackson sang and recorded with the Cleveland based Ray Raspberry Gospel Singers with Doris Willingham.

I have graded the vinyl Very Good Plus, it is wonderful for its year and test plays well.  There are play marks when viewed under a bright spot that are consistent with use and wear generally and a record being brought in and out of its sleeve over time. But viewed in ordinary daylight it looks unblemished and excellent.

There is a new inner sleeve with a soft protective lining, as well as a thicker outer cover and a photographic frontispiece better to identify a record housed in a collection.
