Pookie has always said you can tell the Great Soul Singers by how well they sing the ballads. Walter Jackson comes to mind. So does Jackie Ross! Done in the early 70's on Jimmy Vanleer's Sedgrick label Jackie Ross delivers a knock-out ballad. Bluesy and slow, it could disappoint some Northern Soul fans who need to pound the floor, but in Pittsburgh, we live for this kind of stuff. Thankfully, this has been released on CD because my copy of this got worn through in 1975. Enjoy a great performance that proves once again Jackie Ross is one of Soul Music's most under-appreciated artists. Perhaps her finest recording.

Jackie Ross has a beautiful voice especially when she sings in her soprano. I grew up with "Selfish One" when mom bought it in 1963 and it still remains my favorite by her.

yeah,they were the t-boxes band and played on simtec and wylie's mr. chand album. the southside movement couldn't help but play funky even when they play sweet delicate soul like this. i have a thing for drums and the drummer's snare on this one is knockin'!

Gorgeous! We do indeed live for this kind of tune in Pittsburgh. Folks where I live now have no idea that there are oldies outside of the usual top 40 items you hear over and over again on the radio.

Ms. Ross has such a beautiful voice! she can belt out those gutsy high notes also. great post as always JC! question- is that the Southside Movement backing her on this? i know they were associated with Jimmy Vanleer also.

hey, glad to see you survived the rain and wind. i would bet southside movement was on this, they were vanleer's guys. i think they were basically simtec and wylie's band were'nt they? i'm not sure, but jimmy vanleer made some money on their records for sure.
