A giant of the scene.  RIP Chuck.

[Keamus]

RIP Chuck.

When I first got into the music in 1983 I played 'I only get this feeling' from the 'Out on the Streets Again' album over and over.

6 months later I'm standing 3 foot away from him at Morecambe Pier watching him live. He picked up an old beer towel off the stage and dropped it on my head. Kept for years!

Here's a fine tune....

His presence through his voice to all those sensible enough to have letted him in will accompany them beyond his grave through his soul. Deep and now even deeper. RIP +

RIP Chuck. Agree he was one of the all time greats. Such a distinctive voice. There aren't that many people out there who have heard of Chuck Jackson, but there's quite a few who know this song:

Extremely sad news.

An amazing artist and a true legend.

His records will always be a part of our scene.

R.I.P. Chuck Jackson

[JOMT]

Damn! What a great singer. Got quite hooked on him at one point and bought as many (mainly) Awnd 45s I could get my hands on.
Have fantastic scooter rally memories dancing away to “I only get this feeling”. RIP 

[Geoff]

Saddened to read this news. One of my favourite singers has gone.
RIP Chuck Jackson.

[Soul Shrews]

Can only echoe the previous posts.

A real legendry soul man.

 

[The Yank]

Very sad to hear this ! Chuck had so many great songs! Here's another one - 

 

[The Tempest]

Legend ! Thanks for the music

[Mikehump]

Just read the news that a true legend has passed away. Reading down the tributes says it all. I was thinking of mentioning a tune but each post above was inspiring, as I got to each one I thought,  "that's a good tune"  (didn't need to play them)  same with the next and so on.  An exceptional performer - RIP Chuck Jackson.

A short statement from Dionne Warwick: 

Quote

“Another heartache has come my way. Chuck Jackson has made his transition. He was my label mate on Scepter Records and was like a big brother to me. I’ll truly miss his daily calls checking on me and his wonderful voice. Rest in heavenly peace my dear friend" - Dionne Warwick, February 20th, 2023

Age gets us all and his recording days were already sadly long gone. If we have been deprived of extra records it's because record executives decided he was too old or too out of style to fit with the times when he was still at his peak. More fool them.

He leaves an amazing legacy that will continue to feed the souls of those who listen and move the feet of dancers everywhere. RIP.

[El Corol]

Sad news, but what a recording legacy he has left behind.
