About This Item

- Genre: Pop
- Description: Our 2020-2021 of the 20 albums recorded for the legendarily collectible Black Jazz tag was probably the most momentous and successful reissue campaign we at Real Gone Music have ever done. That music recorded 50 years ago could speak so eloquently to the turmoil our society was experiencing during those days of COVID and civic unrest attests to it's enduring beauty and the power of it's spiritually-tinged message of black empowerment. Ever since we put out the last Black Jazz album, though, we have wrestled with how to create a compilation of this amazingly varied and rich body of work. And then we realized-why not tag producer Gene Russell do it for us? Though Russell is long gone, the compositions he selected for the ten singles the tag put out give us a ready-made template for a Black Jazz collection. Thus, we're releasing this 15-track CD with three goals in mind. First, to offer something of a Inchbest-ofInch for folks new to the tag or for those who want a InchsamplerInch (though we highly recommend delving into the complete album catalog). Second, for the completist collectors, we've included the unique single edits... with a caveat. On those singles that simply faded out the album track on one side and faded it up on the next, we've elected to present the album tracks without interruption to ensure a more seamless listening experience. And, finally, Black Jazz Records The Complete Singles provides a window into what Gene Russell considered to be the most commercial tracks released by the tag. His guesses did not result in financial success for Black Jazz; but there is no questioning the production values and fierce, passionate playing that he and the artist roster brought to every single piece of vinyl the tag put out, be it a longplayer or single. It's quite the artistic legacy; and we at Real Gone are very proud to have had a hand in it's reassessment and

It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz. While working on that project, Jackson and Quincy Jones had become friends, and Jones agreed to work with Jackson on his next studio album. Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.
