Millie Jackson - This is it/Kiss You all Over

OLD PA'S WEDNESDAY CLUB

I'M FEELING BITCHY
KISS ME ALL OVER!

 
MILLIE JACKSON - This is It
I had a Millie Jackson period during the early 80's. Well, what actually happened was I wanted to hear some stuff of hers and when I was on Holiday in Canada during the late seventies, I visited a record shop (as you do) and found in the bargain area 5 Millie Jackson albums all at about 50p each.

So as you can imagine I had a bit of a Millie Jackson session. I like some of her stuff, but she ended up being a bit of a cabaret singer specialising in being the woman's champion and trying to be outrageous. Boring!.

However, I had a brief experience with MJ with her earlier albums and I loved her voice. The tracks I choose was the the fabulous Kenny Loggins song This is It. If you can suffer the the first 3 mins of what Millie had become then you will just love her interpretation of this, one of my favourite loves songs. (it was actually written for his dying father and he thought it may inspire him to fight, yes a love song)  I have woken for the past two mornings with this song in my head.

I just had to follow up with her great version of Kiss you all Over....well its been a long time and I'm feeling Bitchy.

Hey guys do you remember theses times! way back, way way back!.

Millie Jackson - 'All the Way Lover'

Recollection Collection......musical memories recalled with affection!




Millie Jackson - 'All the Way Lover' (1978)

Millie Jackson has a rep for being a bit of a saucy lady as this song will testify about not scrimping on half hearted rumpy pumpy. Not only is this a superb track oozing funk with it's smooth bassline and immaculate strings, it's the humourous rant about 02:30 into the song that clinches it for me! 

As an 'all the way lover' myself (my wife will vouch for this) it had me clicking my fingers in approval and tutting with disgust as she describes 'Orangebird's' infidelity and how she's gonna 'Erika' someones ass'. I love it, she's seriously superbad! Just leave it off your two year old's party playlist....no one will find it funny like I found out

 

Not sure what she was thinking about when Ms Jackson decided on this album cover! Not really conducive to 'all the way loving' either and most probably how 'Orangebird' got a break in his wing when he walked in on this horror show. 

Thursday I'm in Love is a chance to share some of my very favourite tracks!
