    American bands around this era all seemed to have the drummer as the lead vocalist. Very difficult thing to do with all 4 appendages doing separate things and then singing on top! Hats off to them all!!!!!!!!

      With all due respect to Elvis, Chuck, Fats, Little Richard, Dion, etc., I’d say the genuine classic period of rock was from when the Beatles matured in ‘66 thru ‘74, before disco hit. Interestingly, this eight year period coincides w/ the heavy conflict of Viet Nam, excitement in the space program, major civil rights protests, and some quite excellent hallucinogenic substance use.

    Spring Break, ‘75, left EKU with Joey, heading to Daytona in his 69 Corvette 427 4speed, case of beer iced down,
    3 oz’s, one pre rolled. Sun coming up, pulled over dropped the top, Joey’s passed out, head on the window. Reached in the cooler, grabbed the last beer, grabbed the last pre rolled, ripped thru the gears as Jackie Blue blasted on the radio. One of the greatest memories of my life!

Then I started to think about the fact that most everyone will experience the loss of their parents, including my kids someday, and all of a sudden I was able to put aside my grief and move forward. The only thing I worry about now is losing one of my kids before I die….I don’t think I could handle that.

    Interesting understated performance of singing/drumming. Larry Lee has calm, low pressure style without wildly flailing away on the drum kit or excessive showmanship. Singing style is equally low key without the screaming or the exaggerated vocal nuances of other rock groups. In his high-ish tenor range he appears quite comfortable. This is not to say the tune is boring, on the contrary he gives a soulful delivery with hints of a female voice inflection that is most interesting, and I would venture that many music fans are that more intrigued who thought the lead singer was a female. All in all, a great piece for a band that only had a few hits.Robertat 67.

    Very well performed for a 70's pop radio smash to be done so well by a southern rock band in the live setting very impressive

    There are songs that define their own decade as no other songs do. The 80s were DEFINED by "Call Me" by Blondie. It is unique. The 70s were DEFINED by "Jackie Blue" There's no other song in mood, composition, or effect like it. MASTERPIECE!

      'Philadelphia Freedom' runs a real close second! Those were the days.

      Same here. Seared into my 5 year old brain. A unique masterpiece. I always wonder if the slide solo was inspired by Rolling Stones “Heartbreaker” breakdown solo

      There’s a ton of great music in every decade, but none will have the nostalgia like the songs we grew up with.

    Only three dislikes? Wow! That is pretty good for youtube. So it seems people actually know a good song when they hear it. And there can't be any complaints about the video or audio quality...both are excellent!
