In the mid-'60s, he had a brace of solid R&B hits - ░░ "Suddenly I'm All Alone," "It's an Uphill Climb (To the Bottom)," "Speak ░░ Her Name," "Welcome Home," "A Corner in the Sun" - without ever rising ░░ higher than the lower reaches of the Top 100. Recording for the OKeh ░░ stable, which was home to the top Chi-Town soul talent, he benefited for ░░ a time from the production services of local masters Carl Davis and ░░ Curtis Mayfield, who handled the Impressions, Major Lance, Gene Chandler, ░░ and others. ░░ ░░ His sides employed similar punchy brass and strings, but in a smoother, ░░ more urbane fashion; Jackson was also comfortable with occasional outings ░░ into pure supper-club pop with nary a trace of R&B. Jackson had already ░░ recorded for Columbia (and unsuccessfully auditioned for Motown) when ░░ OKeh A&R director Davis saw him at a Detroit piano bar in 1962. Stricken ░░ with polio as a young boy, Jackson had never let his disability get in ░░ the way of his musical ambitions, performing on crutches. Impressed with ░░ his commanding voice, Carl Davis thought of Walter as a Nat King Cole ░░ type of singer, and procured material for Jackson from Mayfield, Van ░░ McCoy, Chip Taylor, and other top-notch songwriters. ░░ ░░ Despite the obvious pop crossover potential of Jackson's recordings, he ░░ remained obscure to white listeners. During the latter part of his stay ░░ with OKeh, he was reassigned from Davis' stable to producer Ted Cooper. ░░ Jackson had a few hits with Cooper, but there was little success after ░░ the late '60s, although he recorded for a few more labels before dying of ░░ a cerebral hemorrhage in 1983. ░░ ░░ This wonderful set contains Jackson's complete debut album from 1965, ░░ "It's All Over", with ten bonus tracks added in, and given the quality on ░░ display here, it is truly amazing that Jackson didn't enjoy more high ░░ chart action than he did. His voice and approach, which really had more ░░ in common with singers like Nat King Cole than the deep soul singers of ░░ the day, anticipates the so-called uptown soul movement by some three ░░ decades, and if soul singers can be said to croon, well, Jackson invented ░░ the technique. ░░ ░░ The "It's All Over" album was itself cobbled together from whatever ░░ singles and B-sides OKeh had on hand when Jackson's version of the title ░░ tune, Curtis Mayfield's gorgeous "It's All Over," went Top Ten on the R&B ░░ charts in 1965, but largely because of Jackson's huge, steady vocals, the ░░ album now seems much more unified in concept than it actually was. Not ░░ surprisingly, some of the best songs here were written by Mayfield, ░░ including the aforementioned "It's All Over," the brilliant "That's What ░░ Mama Say," and a pair of previously unreleased Mayfield gems, "It's Hard ░░ to Believe" and "Tell the World". ░░ ░░ It would be unfair to think of Jackson as simply a Mayfield interpreter, ░░ though, since whatever he sang he made completely his own. Nearly ░░ forgotten these days, Jackson is due for a rediscovery, and Kent seems ░░ committed to bringing his complete body of work back into print. "It's ░░ All Over" is a great start. ░░ ░░ Jackson's debut album, "It's All Over" released in 1984 of OKeh. ░░ discogs.com/master/618912-Walter-Jackson-Its-All-Over ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| learned from vets |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| and they |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| ain't pet doctors |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ https://www.deezer.com/us/album/11918996
