Every decade or two the
entertainment industry surprisingly discover the abilities and vocal
superiority of a musical genius. That musical genius has materialized in
the form of Jerome Jackson. Mr. Jackson always had the showmanship,
dedication and range to become a leading vocalist but his talents were
always shadowed or ignored. His early experiences began with
gospel music at age 12, performing with James Cleveland and Shirley
Caesar, gaining confidence and showmanship.
Jerome officially began his
professional career in 1971 with the group Richmond Extension in
Richmond, Virginia under the direction of Disco artist Van McCoy who
recorded the legendary hit "The Hustle". Jerome went on to release a
single entitled "Everything's Coming Up Love".
He continued to perform in
and around the Virginia area with the Richmond Extension until 1976
at which time he moved on and joined a new R&B group called "The Jones". Soon thereafter they changed their name to the "Nobles" and
recorded an album with CBS Records and released a single "I Never
Believed In Love Until I Fell In Love With You". His career now
had some stability and fulfillment whereas he could see big credible
opportunities.
In 1986, the big opportunity came when he joined the top
R&B group Main Ingredient which consisted of Cuba Gooding Sr. and
Tony
Sylvester, in 1990 another huge break came when he join the infamous
Drifters.
Jerome went on to acclaimed performances on
Soul Train, The
Apollo Theatre and both Inaugural Ball's for President Bill Clinton.
Jerome Jackson's acting abilities afforded him the opportunity to
perform in the Broadway production of Porgy & Bess as the main character.
Sporting Life that showcased his raw acting and singing talents. Now,

his fresh sound and distinctive delivery. A soulful blend of R&B, Jazz
