In many ways, George Jackson’s early career was always in Memphis. When he decided to leave his hometown of Greenville, Mississippi, he moved there. It was in Memphis that he first hooked up with Dan Greer and began to write songs for Goldwax Records, where the pair also recorded as George & Greer.
Early efforts ‘Love Attack’ and ‘Coming Back To You Baby’ were recorded by Goldwax’s star James Carr. When Goldwax owner Quinton Claunch introduced George to Rick Hall at Fame, the latter immediately understood his talent. He contracted George as both a songwriter and as a singer. Although he was a wonderful singer, his standout talent was as a songwriter, providing hit records not only for Fame artists such as Candi Staton and Clarence Carter but for those passing through the studio, Wilson Pickett and the Osmonds among them. In a short time, he had written such well-known titles as ‘I’m A Prisoner’, ‘One Bad Apple’, ‘Too Weak To Fight’ and many more.
