Sitting in the audience with friends, Jackson heckled the ma'am onstage and, when dared to do better, she stepped up to belt Ben E. King's "Don't Play It No More." Jackson was hired for another gig within iI weeks, only didn't get paying. A gentleman by the name of Tony Rice took her to a locale in Hoboken, NJ, a couple of weeks afterwards and then on to Brooklyn, NY, to perform for a nominal fee. Born in Thompson, GA, Jackson lived with her nanna prior to moving to Newark, NJ, to live with her father in 1958. She grew up influenced by the sounds of Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and later, the O'Jays. Her low single to chart was 1971's misleadingly titled "A Child of God (It's Hard to Believe)," which many thought was a gospel track. Due to its heated lyrical contentedness, the individual was canceled, just still managed to peak at number 22 on the R&B charts. In the bounce of 1972, Jackson had her low R&B Top Ten single with "Ask Me What You Want." She kept busy playacting in nightclubs and enjoyed her second sequential Top Ten single with "My Man, A Sweet Man" in August of 1972; it peaked at number sevener.

A year later, Jackson, whose vocal texture is similar to one of her idols, Gladys Knight, had her third Top Ten single with the reasonably paced "Hurts So Good," which peaked at number leash on the R&B charts and made the pop Top 40. The single bore the title of her album and was also featured on the film soundtrack for Cleopatra Jones. Jackson produced the album with Brad Shapiro. However, she was only given credit for the album construct. In Jackson's possess words, "...that's when they (label owners) met the real Millie Jackson." Thereafter, she was disposed credit for her efforts. In January of 1975, Jackson released the album that would introduce what would subsequently get her trademark rap music mode of full-bodied, dingy linguistic process; her hearing loved it. The album was Caught Up and the featured release was "If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Want to Be Right," for which she received two Grammy nominations. Jackson openly admits that she never had singing lessons and never persuasion she could sing. Consequently, she began to talk (or what was unremarkably known at the clock time as tap) on her songs in a dull, candid manner to take in up for the defect and had her fourth Top Ten single with state vocalizer Merle Haggard's "If You're Not Back in Love by Monday" (Hoarding state charts number two). Jackson's version ailing at number five-spot on the R&B charts. Over the succeeding x old age, Jackson had legion Top 100 singles for Spring Records. In 1986, she sign-language with Jive and released her fifth and sixth Top Ten singles in "Hot! Wild! Unrestricted! Crazy Love" and "Lovemaking Is a Dangerous Game, both respectively peaking at number nine-spot and six on the R&B charts.

A-List Secrets: Why You Don't Get a Backstage Pass
How do you arrive VIP or backstage passes at concerts? I'm not a crazy, but I would love to suffer Foo Fighters next prison term they play here.
�Jenna, Melville, N.Y.
I'd like to take this opportunity to dedicate this tower to Kevin, That Other Jonas, world Health Organization gets such little dear from the kids. Everyone is always going on about Foo Fighters or Rihanna or the deuce hot Jonas Brothers. Doesn't anyone want to hang out backstage with What's-His-Name Jonas? Kevin? No?
Anyway, no matter. From what I learned today from Industry insiders, you stand very little chance of a backstage confluence with whatsoever of the above. Sorry. Actually, no I'm not. But I am pretty certain in my convictions. Find out exactly what's wrong with you after the jump.
Most of those people milling about backstage at a concert either work for the band or have jobs in the same industry as the ring or have some job with the talent, according to a music-industry insider who has worked with Bj�rk and other acts.
"You need to either be hot and put out, or work in the music business" to mill about backstage, says my informant, world Health Organization fits into the latter category and has, for the record, hung stunned with Foo Fighters earlier one of the band's shows. Dave Grohl is apparently lovely, but we'll get to that later.
In the green River room, before a concert, "almost every last one and only of those works either for the label, management, the venue, the promoter or, in some cases, the sponsor," my source says. "Or they just 'know people' and have enough pull to score that access."
In other dustup, your best chances for regular concert backstage access will come with a career change.
Yes, you could troll eBay or Ticketmaster, seeking out those extra-expensive VIP packages that include meet-and-greets with the band. But you really don't want to do that. Take it from somebody who has witnessed plenty of them.
"Meet-and-greets are nigh always lame," my music insider warns. "There is very small mingling between the artist and the 'VIPs.' At best, you will shake the person's hand and get a photo with them."
So or else, I leave you with this opportunity to live vicariously through my beginning, who once watched a game of B-ball with Grohl after he performed with Foo Fighters at a Tibetan freedom concert.
"He was whole down to earth," she recalls, "well-disposed and peculiar. And I have friends who run into him all the time and say the same thing."
That enough for you? It'll have to do.
Got a question about Hollywood? ASK IT!
Oh, and be my fan on Facebook, 'kay?

Oasis announce new album title
Oasis have revealed that their new album will be called Dig Out Your Soul.
The LP, the veteran group's seventh studio release, will hit stores on October 26. The first single from the record, titled 'The Shock Of The Lightning', arrives on September 29.
Noel Gallagher explained the band's change in direction for the new album in a statement, saying: "I wanted to write music that had a groove, not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight.
"I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic, more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way."
Gallagher added that the first single was the most traditional Oasis track on the album.
"It was written dead fast and recorded dead fast," he said. "'The Shock Of The Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. There's a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best."

Teenagers Gig Ends In Stage Invasion
THE TEENAGERS' first gig in Australia resulted in a massive stage invasion.
NME magazine reports that some 50 audience members took to the stage for a rendition of the band's hit HOMECOMING.
According to the publication, the fans, helped by lead singer QUENTIN DELAFON, jumped up to join the group as they played the final song in their set.
Following the invasion, there had to be a brief interlude in the show as crew members reassembled the drum kit and mike stands.
During the rest of the Brisbane gig, the French trio treated fans to STARLETT JOHANSSON, FEELING BETTER and LOVE NO, plus a string of their other tunes.
BLOC PARTY's drummer MATT TONG accompanied the group.
The magazine adds that the band seemed to enjoy the gig as much as the fans, with Delafon saying "this is our first time in Australia, we love you already", as he finished the opening number.
Meanwhile, Delafon recently attributed the heavy swearing in THE TEENAGERS' songs to the fact they learned English from American films.
Speaking to Australian newspaper the Age, the singer said: "We just thought that this is super-normal, like just how people talk."

Nick Hogan: 'Solitary Confinement Isn't Fair'
Nick Bollea – or Nick Hogan as he’s known on Hogan Knows Best – yesterday filed a motion in court requesting that he be released from prison.
In May the 17-year-old was sentenced to eight months behind bars for the car crash that left his friend John Graziano with permanent brain injuries.
He is currently being held in solitary confinement in Florida’s Pinellas County Jail because he's too young to join the adult prison population – a situation which his attorney insists is “neither fair nor acceptable and creates a mental and physical health risk to a seventeen year old.”
The motion reads: "...the 17-year-old minor is being wrongly held in isolated lockdown in the Pinellas County Jail for up to 17 hours a day despite his status as a non-violent, first-time offender with no juvenile record."
The motion also complains that Bollea's phone conversations with his parents have been released to the media, reports My Fox Tampa Bay.
"The result has been a media blitz with a local and national media frenzy which is unprecedented and has resulted in unspeakable harm to Nicholas Bollea and his family," according to the attorney's statement.
Bollea's lawyer requests that he serve his sentence under house arrest until he turns 18 on July 27.
