Free Music Review: Jackie Brings LOVE
Hit: 5 Stars
Jackie DeShannon is not only a gifted vocalist but also a respected songwriter. A pioneer, she was one of the first women to have this dual distinction. She wrote numerous songs made into hits by other artists. "When You Walk Into the Room" is one found on this collection, and it has been covered many times. The Byrds included her song "Don't Doubt Yourself Babe" on their masterpiece album "Mr. Tambourine Man". And, of course, the Kim Carnes record of "Bette Davis Eyes" was a monster hit, earning Jackie a Song of the Year Grammy.
She has another claim to fame: LOVE. Before Donovan brought us flower power, before Scott McKenzie directed us to San Francisco, Jackie, with her gorgeous 1965 gospel-inflected rendition of Bacharach & David's "What the World Needs Now Is Love", was one of the first to bring "love" into prominence in pop culture. Later, The Beatles followed up on this on "Rubber Soul" by declaring, "Have you heard? The Word is Love." And so it was. (In the Julia Roberts film "My Best Friend's Wedding", Jackie's recording is played at the climactic moment, to me the best part of a very good film.) In 1969, Jackie again insisted, "Put a Little Love in Your Heart", a song that she co-wrote. Of course, these 2 "love" songs are included on this CD too. Just to make sure we get the message, she next sings "Love Will Find a Way".
Jackie's voice in general is delicately expressive but has strength at the same time, and her many sides are revealed on this collection. "Faded Love" shows a touch of Brenda Lee, or maybe Patsy Cline, or both. "Needles and Pins" reminds me of the girl-groups of the period. "A Lifetime of Loneliness" and "Come and Get Me" are pleading love ballads in the style of Dusty Springfield and Dionne Warwick at the time. In "I Can Make It with You", she sounds stronger, more assured that the relationship she has will last. For "The Weight", she sounds funky and playful. "Brighton Hill", also co-written by Jackie, is yet another change of pace, reminding me of an up-tempo Laura Nyro tune. And "It's So Nice" is more light funk, sort of a prequel to Macy Gray's sound.
I would say that this artist is underappreciated. Like Laura Nyro, many people know her songs, but don't know who she is by name or by sight. That's a shame. Her contribution to the pop world has been significant, and she deserves recognition for it.
