Millie Jackson

Mildred "Millie" Jackson (born July 15, 1944) is an American soul singer-songwriter. Her vocal performances are often distinguished by long, humorous, and explicit spoken sections in her music, which she started doing on stage to get the attention of the audience. She has also recorded songs in a disco or dance music style and even some country styled songs. She is the mother of R&B singer Keisha Jackson.

Links To Peel
Peel was a fan of her music and nominated her track 'Loving Arms' as his second favourite single of 1975 on his 19 December 1975 show. The song was also nominated by Peel to mark his 40th birthday on 30 August 1979 and his Peelenium 1975 in 1999. After Peel's death, it was later found that eleven of her records were found in his Record Collection.
