Sample of the Day, George Jackson's "Talking in Your Sleep"

Been on that hard-body soul tip.  Been familiar with George Jackson for some time now after hearing the organ-laced, soul-drenched Jackson track Mackin' on You.  That shit goes dummy hard.  Each time I drop into a record store, George Jackson is on my list of "must-cops" but the gawd is rare as hell, I guess.  Saw a pricey re-issue in Frisco but I decided against that.  Instead, I went on the youtube diggin' spree; copped about 15 George Jackson tracks.  Here is one of the best finds, but all of 'em bang.  I'm in a lotta soul but there's something about my guy right here's voice.  Undoubtedly one of my soul favorites.  Buy his music though.
