Chuck Jackson was an American soul/R&B singer born on July 22, 1937 in Winston Salem, North Carolina. He began his career in the late 1950s and achieved his first hit with "Any Day Now" in 1961. Throughout the years, he recorded singles for various labels including Scepter Records, Motown, ABC Records, and Wand Records. Although he didn't experience as much success in the 1970s as he did in the previous decade, Chuck continued to make music and collaborate with other artists such as Gary U.S. Bonds. His vocals can be heard on two of Bonds' hit albums. In the 1980s, Chuck signed with EMI America and later recorded two singles for Motor City label.
Throughout his career, Chuck Jackson has been often compared to artists like Major Lance, Marv Johnson, Maxine Brown, Kim Weston, and many others who were part of the soul/R&B scene during that era.
Please note that Chuck Jackson should not be confused with producer/songwriter Chuck Jackson (born 1945).

In 1982 the Jasmine Label was created producing LPs and Cassettes. The new label initially focused on licensed Jazz and Personality recordings. Later in 1985 Jasmine successfully launched its Country &amp; Western catalogue. 1990 saw the release of Jasmine’s first CDs.
Appears also on labels as: JASMINE only and as a company (with manufacturing and distribution roles).

Although Chuck Jackson had eight solo LPs on Wand, there has never been a greatest hits compilation derived from all of that fine label’s recordings, until now. First known to the original mods as a singer of superb ballads such as Any Day Now and Tell Him I’m Not Home, he attracted a loyal following and further releases such as I Keep Forgetting, Beg Me and Hand It Over demonstrated the depth of his and Wand’s talents on uptempo tracks. Somewhere in between rhythmically were highlights such as Two Stupid Feet, an album-only track, and Jackson’s Wand debut that first made his name in the USA, I Don’t Want To Cry. By the mid-60s it was back to ballads as a stunning reading of the Skyliners’ Since I Don’t Have You charted, followed closely by Goffin and King’s I Need You. These two sold well so it is surprising that the superb version of the Van McCoy song I Don’t Want To See You Cry was never released. Vee-Jay released Jerry Butler’s version on 45 in 1965, but Jackson’s rendition tops even that. Moving with the times, in 1965 Wand took Chuck to Detroit for Good Things Come To Those Who Wait which, like Chains Of Love, became firm favourites on the early Northern Soul scene, while being largely ignored in the States. Those rare soul fans rekindled their appreciation of all things Chuck in the late 80s when UK Kent Records unearthed unissued Wand recordings. They included What’s With This Loneliness and (I’d Be A) Millionaire which filled dancefloors with new recruits and older originals who appreciated the easier pace and more soulful delivery of these gems. The compilation is crowned with a brilliant studio publicity shot of Chuck on the cover which captures both the majesty of his singing and the era.
