Let the Best Man Win: Fame Recordings 2
- music
UK release, the second collection from this Southern Soul great. George Jackson is one of the great writers of Southern soul and this volume includes the original versions of classic hits written for, among others, Wilson Pickett ('Mini Skirt Minnie' and more), Candi Staton - ('I'm Just A Prisoner'), Bettye Swann ('Victim Of A Foolish Heart', later a hit for Joss Stone). On hearing George Jackson's demos for him, Wilson Pickett told Atlantic Records' Jerry Wexler to sign Jackson as an artist as he was a star in the waiting. Such was the depth and quality of his work that there are songs that have not been issued until now. 'I Lived Through A Losing Battle' is a song that plunders the depths of despair; there is the simply stunning 'I Bit Off More Than I Can Chew' and the uptempo 'Soul Lovin' and 'It's Not Safe To Mess On Me'. On hearing I am confident several of these will now be classed as Southern soul classics. Kent Soul.
