It's
reported that soul singer, Deon Jackson, passed on in his sleep on April 19th
2014 at the age of 68.
Soul
singer and songwriter Deon Jackson was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on January
26, 1946. He studied clarinet and drums as a child, and while in high school he
formed his own vocal group, concurrently performing in area talent shows as a
solo act, and composing his own original material.
While
performing one of those songs at a high school concert, Jackson was discovered
by producer Ollie McLaughlin, who'd previously launched the career of soul diva
Barbara Lewis; McLaughlin soon produced Jackson's debut single, 1962's
self-penned "You Said You Love Me." The record was a Detroit-area
hit, as was its follow-up, "Come Back Home"...
