Two
albums of recordings are being made available on Another Planet/RPM
and iTunes which were produced by Ron. Tony Jackson was a
prolific and talented soul singer who worked with Ron and
many others over the years.
Tony
was one of the top voices on UK TV and radio jingles singing
the praises of various products with songs like “Wonderful
World “& “I heard It Through The Grapevine” Yes! The voice
behind those now legendary Levi Jeans Ads, was not as everyone
thought Sam Cooke or Marvin Gaye but our very own Tony Jackson.
He was also the voice behind the major ads using songs such
as “On The Wings Of Love” “Come On Over To My Place “ “Yakety
Yak” & “ Try A Little Tenderness” Tony was used as a backing
singer on session after session for many top producers.
Tony,
who sadly recently died, left behind a large legacy of material
he had created with Ron as producer, which can be heard on
the two new albums being issued by Another Planet/RPM and
iTunes the first of which called Tony Jackson Blame
It On The Boogie is now avilable for downloading on
the iTunes
site and the follow up album called Celebrate ...The Ron
Roker Sessions.. due for release shortly.

Hear
Voodoo Man
|
Voodoo Man, described by the media as a "cooler than
thou disco cut", is back for 2008, and to great acclaim. LSB
and Hardrock Striker have remixed the song for Skylax Records.
The result is a new dance floor hit.
Ron and Biddu wrote Voodoo Man and the song was originally
released by the Biddu Orchestra. With a strong bassline, Sergio
Leone style whistles, choral vocals and funky guitar lines,
Voodoo Man is very much in tune with today's dance
music scene. The 2008 remix has been released in many countries,
including the US, and has received fantastic reviews.
Voodoo
Man (LSB Highway to Delight Supermix) has been released
on a 12" vinyl disk - the Master of Reality EP. The EP also
includes the original instrumental version of Voodoo Man
from 1979.
