Mille Jackson: The Primal Scream Therapist Of Soul
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 4 February 1978
MILLIE JACKSON yanked me over to her side of the fence the first moment I heard her belting out some juicy slice of angst on Caught Up. Artistically, she's the quintessence of soul music, appearing to rip open the flesh of her chest with long painted fingernails to expose heart and lungs; soul follows automatically.
