has continued to come up with gems on occasion.Jackson: "A Child Of God (It's Hard To Believe)" and "Ask Me What You Want."Simpson's "Don't Send
Nobody Else."The rest of the record is nowhere near the same standard, though: Jackson's heart doesn't seem to be in Side Two, where
she plays the role of the scorned wife ("I'm Through Trying To Prove My Love To You").David Hood and Roger Hawkins).Jackson's a
hell of a singer.But there's too much undistinguished material ("Angel In Your Arms," "Cheatin' Is"), and since Jackson
didn't write anything here, that's hard to excuse: how hard is it to find good songs to cover?Isaac Hayes: 1979)
Not much of a collaboration, more a Millie Jackson record with duet vocals from Hayes.Trouble is, it's not a good Millie Jackson record."Do You Wanna Make Love").Jackson also finds room for some actual singing, and she's
impressive whether the material deserves it (the slow, affecting "What Am I Waiting For") or not (Toto's "Hold The Line").Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks."Live And Outrageous (1982)
Heavy on the comedy and very light on the singing, which I'm sure works for a good many of her fans.Kenny Loggins's "This Is It."In 1985, Jackson recorded a duet with Elton John, "Act Of War."An Imitation Of Love (1986)
A mix of producers including Timmy Allen, Joylon Skinner and Wayne Braithwaite.On the other hand, Jackson's personality doesn't particularly shine through ("Hot!Young Man, Older Woman: Cast Album (1993)
Jackson cooked up a stage show based on the previous album's title tune, and toured with it for a few years.Can't See Me Without You," suspiciously similar to
Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror").Don't Want To Be Your Friend").Otherwise, mostly written and produced by Jackson; Wright wrote and produced "The Lies That We Live.""She's Still Crazy") sing one each, and Jackson sings the rest.Well, except for the clever lecture on ending relationships
"Let 'Em Go," which is spoken.With a guest appearance by Da Brat on "In My Life."Jackson's early records had her
portraying each side of one overheated romantic triangle after
another.Key Tracks
