singing with his soul open, what a man!

Respond to this video... For example, the bridge in this song is remarkable. It is far beyond the ability of 99.9% of the composers out there, who would have written the usual boring, cliche, unimaginative bridge - even given the exact same song as a gift. He is a genius, across the board. Check out the Heaven and Hell sessions at 54 west videos. Astonishing. (i saw him perform that entire album. I was in awe).

@999Atwood Bingo. A musician's musician, ore importantly, a composer's composer. Because let's face it, many can play....but precious few can COMPOSE at the same level as JJ. He has literally written HUNDREDS of masterpieces. His skill is at such a high level. Mention his name to most people..."Oh yeah...Is she really going out...". I want to smack them.

19 Forever, Right and Wrong, Is She Really Going Out With Him. Anthems to our souls. He speaks the truth of our generation.

@slickvguy I was in high school when "Look Sharp" came out. I was blown away by the fresh amazing sound. I like a lot of different music but Joe Jackson & Graham Parker are in a superior category for me.

@999Atwood Exactly. Anyone who PLAYS or understands music (composition) knows what a genius this guy is.

@evelynmh Your comment has me thinking about a different JJ song, and I hope that you'll laugh with me, as I disclose it: Tonight and Forever.
There is a quote from the Sydney Times on the back of the Laughter and Lust video that is most apropos. Since my copy is not accessible to me as I type this, I will have to paraphrase: JJ has more musical ideas on a lazy Sunday afternoon than most of us do in our whole lives.

@GrizrazRexI I love 'Rush Across The Road" ..it is just so bright and intense....All of his music makes you think of similar scenarios in your own life



He's not underrated by anyone who knows shit about music. He might be underrated by dipsticks who watch American Idol for musical guidence.
