    I recall as a kid in the mid 60's this track was popular in SoCal on AM radio. Great tune, Funny story, about 5 yrs ago while vacationing in NoCal, I'm sitting at a bar and struck up a conversation with this dude sitting next to me. Turned out to be JJ Jackson, Great guy and we talked forever. Because of that, I later listened to this song in detail, as you did, and it really impresses to this day. JJ had his feet in much of the soul music world for years, but as a solo artist, really only had this one fairly big success. He's now 80 yrs old and perhaps still at that bar.

    I stumbled on your site and doing a review for JJ Jackson was awesome. My uncle, Robert Mayo, was the one playing the Bass in that recording.
    He told me all about how that came to be when he was stationed in Europe and they put together a band called "the greatest little soul band in the land" ;)
    Sadly my uncle passed away recently but Im so glad he was able to touch so many lives. (Including my own music life)

    The riff as you said is amazing and the horns blasting away carries this song along to perfection. Great memory.

    Killer song! I don't think I've ever heard this original version by J.J. Jackson. Huey Lewis and the News had a Top 5 adult contemporary hit in the U.S. with their cover version in 1994 (not to be confused with their similarly named No. 7 adult contemporary hit called "It's Alright" in 1993). So glad to hear the original!

  • @melotone3305
    @melotone3305 Рік тому +2

    I thought your comment about the use of the triangle was interesting. Had not considered it that way. Rather, there was something about it that reminded me of some section of Smokey Robinson's Tear's of a Clown. Of course as I write this I don't remember when that was released. I think "It's Alright" was released in 1966.

    • @gregsager2062
      @gregsager2062 2 роки тому +5

      It's actually not a triangle. It's a vibraphone (aka "vibes"). I'm surprised that he identifies that sound with Christmas; the vibes were a common jazz instrument. One jazz great who was especially identified with the vibes was Lionel Hampton. Vibes were also an important instrument in a lot of '60 Motown hits (for instance, they are prominently featured in the intro of "I Hear a Symphony" by the Supremes), and by artists as varied as the Four Seasons, Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, and Steely Dan.

    Nice! I picked up a sixties soul compilation album on cassette tape back in the eighties that had this song on it. J.J. Jackson wrote songs for Mary Wells, the Shangri-Las, The Pretty Things, and Eddie Floyd as well as dropping "But It's Alright" in 1966. The bounce in this song may have influenced the bounce in "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf two years later. I think that sound is from a xylophone. One of the other super-groovy songs on that tape was "Gimme A Little Sign" by Brenton Wood. Check it out when you can.

It came out around Christmas time when I was young, and it brings me back to memories of Christmas that year. I think 1968, or thereabouts.
