Guest Dave Turner Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 As I've stated on another board today there are many good writer/singers in the world of soul music but not many that can be classed as a genius. A huge loss for the soul world Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sweeney Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) The rare soul scene bandies the world 'legend' about with careless abandon. It seems that anyone that had a record played a couple of times on the scene is called a legend these days. In this case the word 'legend' doesn't begin to do justice to the immense contribution of George Jackson. A very sad day. RIP Mr Jackson and thank you.

Peter99 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 George's southern accent just oozed soul - even when he was just speaking. He was one hell of a cool guy. I love some of the pictures of him which have been used over the years - even in his senior years he was the man! Peter 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Peter99 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 One I've been spinning for the last few years. Absolutely love this - stunning soul music. Wonderful lyrics as he pays tribute to Bobby Womack, Al Green, James Brown and Marvin - clever stuff. I suspect he wrote a few of those.

jocko Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 A giant in the Soul world, his recent CD's hopefully widened his audience as a singer, as he was a great singer, but he was, as John says, one of the greatest songwriters, with a quite magnificent legacy. A Goerge Jackson week ahead methinks. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on Anthony, the amount of mediocre records i've heard with a half decent hook that have bandied about as brilliant or worse still ' Their best record' makes me laugh. Check out this guys body of work and then check the use of the word Legend A true great and the world is a poorer place without this supreme talent Gutted! 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hi Heikki I have read a few bits about George and there is very much a consensus on him being unassuming, laid back and friendly. It is sad that he has gone but we can continue to enjoy and celebrate is wonderful musical legacy. I also love some of the photographs I have seen of him over the years - he is one cool, southern american dude! I even liked that southern drawl of his - proper soul talk. George will continue to be the man! Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
