Before Madonna and Lil Kim, there was Ms. Millie. She is the original "nasty girl" and owned up to it. This is one of the few that I could request. I've always loved her voice ever since I was a little girl, but the majority of her songs are down right nasty. I've always felt her voice was wasted on that material, but she did the type of music she believed in. What she meant by a "little bit" is sex and "bread" is "money." 70's lingo way before your time. These situations have been going on since beginning of time. She educated the world well with this joint. One of the best Blues songs and remakes ever made IMHO. Great reaction !! If anyone knows what a "mickie finger" is, please let me know.
Before Madonna Lil Kim Millie Jackson etc there was Lucille Bogan, born in 1897, she was a Dirty Blues singer who used sexually explicit lyrics in her songs, have a listen to Shave Em Dry from 1935, its remarkable for its use of the F Bomb throughout the song
that voice is pure gold. known mainly for her ish talking it’s hard to deny her vocals. one of the most underrated female vocalist ever. i love her works they are truly masterpieces. the song ended weird because it goes right in the next song which is the continuation of a theme which is what i love about millie jackson she takes you on a rollercoaster ride. to really appreciate her genius you have to listen to the whole album start to finish.
This is the SIDE CHIC'S ANTHEM. Millie is straight up raw. Back then it was 5 or 6 years and a outside child before the wife found out. But it aint like that today. Now with TikTok and Instagram, the wife finds out in a day or 2. Times have changed but this song still rings true. I'm glad you reacted to this. Millie Jackson is a part of R&B history and she should be celebrated. Some channels are to BOUGIE to take a chance on her because of her bad reputation. As you can tell compared to what we hear on the radio today this is a walk in the park. You never know what you will like if you don't take a chance on it. Good job. She killed this!
I love Millie, and so did my mother. She attended many of Millie's performances then she would tell me all about them. I swore that I was going to be there myself one day. It never happened, but I still love me some Millie. Her best album in my opinion in 'Feelin Bitchy'. People say she sounds like Gladys Knight and I can hear it. You should check out her Phuck you symphony.
Actually, if you check out the Unsung episode on her, you will find out that, prior to the release of this record, her record company tried to turn her into a Gladys Knight sound-alike. You can hear it on her versions of "A Love of My Own" as well as songs from her early career like "Don't Send Nobody Else", "Hurt So Good", "My Man is A Sweet Man" and "Ask Me What I Want." She actually produced this album herself and this performance is based on what she would do what with this song in her live act.
Really enjoyed your reaction Jammin! Millie Jackson is the real deal. Nothing pretentious about her. And on this song she's was talking about making love to the man more than his wife does. She introduced the raunchy spoken word style. Like I mentioned, she's unpretentious. Fun story. I was working at small radio station in Alabama in the mid 70's. Millie was recording at the Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama back then. She had a show coming up in Montgomery and I was surprised she called the station personally and I knew immediately it was her. No mistaking her voice. She wanted to know how things were going on promotions for the show. I told her it was going good and ticket sales were great. She then started flirting with me and asking would I be there. No, I didn't make the show, but talking to Millie was quite interesting. You should check out more of her music.
Millie Jackson was raw. If you know what I mean?? She never held back anything. She has other songs that even get more raw. I ❤️ this version of this song. Luther Ingram made it first. But, Millie Jackson took it somewhere else and made it her own. Great reaction!!!
The fact when you go to the laundry mat You aint got to wash nobody's funky draws but your own And I like it like that.... This is str8t up grown folks music here. This played every Saturday morning in my house growing up.
Millie Jackson was the queen of raw soul - she did not hold back! She actually produced this album herself (though she was not given credit), Side 1 gives the perspective of the "other woman" and Side 2, the perspective of the wife and this performance is based on what she would do what with this Luther Ingram classic in her live act. Though she was being prepped by her record company to be the next Gladys Knight, after she made this record and it became a huge seller for her, she mainly concentrated on doing songs in this vein. This is one album you need to hear in its entirety - [especially her versions of "i'm Through Trying To Prove My Love To You" and "Summer (The First Time)"], as well as her take on "A Love Of Your Own", "Ask Me What You Want", "My Man is A Sweet Man" and "Don't Send Nobody Else" to see the contrast.
It'd be waaaay too long for a reaction video, but the album this is from and its follow-up ("Caught Up" and "Still Caught Up") are awesome. They tell the story of a love triangle from both the wife's and the side chick's point of view, with Millie singing both roles. "Summer (The First Time)" "Loving Arms" and "I Still Love You (You Still Love Me)" are some of the standout tracks.
I loved that when you hear Luther Ingram version telling his version from a man's point of view and then you hear this extended version from Ms. Millie going into even deeper side to this, is hands down that she has more game in the situation. No holds bar, telling it like it is. That's the 70s for you and I like it like that. Great reaction to the song as well as the artist.
Millie Jackson (along with Betty Davis) was one of the archetypes for the bold, unfiltered, uninhibited feminine perspective in music. Her powerful vocals and provocative “raps” (in the old school R&B sense of the word, not Hip-Hop) laid the blueprint for some of the modern stars of Hip-Hop and R&B. The definitive example from this album (Feelin’ Bitchy) is the song: ALL THE WAY LOVER.
Well back then those "spoken word parts" were called a Rap. So Millie Jackson is the mother of old school "rap" Isaac Hayes would be the father of old school rap. He had songs like this as well.
@@Nonchalant_248Nonchalant no spokenword and Rap are different Rap the lyrics rhyme spokenword can rhyme in certain poems but spokenword is mainly spoken lyrics with no rhyming flow at all nice try tho
@@Nonchalant_248 Nonchalant no it wasn't Rapping is what me and you are doing right now we are talking to each other Rap from the Hip-Hop prespective was taken from Rapping also back in the day Spokenword was called poems or poetry ms.jackson called herselfThe Mother Of Hip-Hop not The God Mother Of Hip-Hop
@@BKLYN_TZU Dude I'm 52 years old. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I know the difference between spoken word and rap. I was there when hip hop started. In the 70s "rap" just meant talking.
Enjoyed your Reaction. Please check out her 1982-Live-Version from the album "Live &Uncensored live" and also the Rod Stewart-Live-Version of this classic track
Millie Jackson aka The Godmother of Hip Hop. She was hands down the raunchiest female artist ever. She was the first artist that wasn't in the rap genre to release a rap song and to cuss on the song. Without Millie, you don't have Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, Da Brat, or any hardcore female rapper. She is praised by the female Emcees for that and was featured on several of their albums. She was also featured on the Five Deadly Venoms Sprite commercials in the 90s with Eve, Mia X, Amil, Roxanne Shante, Angie Martinez and Kool Keith. She's on the last part of the 5 commercial series sitting on the throne as The Grandmaster. Her version of this song is better imo that Luther Ingram's version because she has a whole orchestra, better production and she added a whole story element to the song that he didn't have. According to her Unsung episode, When she debuted as an artist, she sung regularly but, her first marginal hit was credited to Gladys Knight instead of her because they sound similar and have the same type of voice. So, to separate herself, she started to cuss on songs and sing about raunchy subjects like some of the men were doing.
The first female to cuss on a song? Have you heard Shave Em Dry by Lucille Bogan, released in 1935, she uses the F bomb throughout the song, its extremely sexually explicit and wouldn’t be out of place on a Cardi B rap song
@@Discobiscuit372 I didn't say the first female to cuss on a song. I said "The first artist that wasn't in the rap genre to release a rap song and to cuss on the song" I'm aware of songs before "I Had To Say It" came out that had cussing in it but they were not raps. You didn't read it correctly.
@@Discobiscuit372 Actually, you reminded me of Shave Em Dry. I have it on vinyl. My mother had a larger record collection that I inherited after she passed. I interviewed Millie and her daughter about 6 years ago for a follow-up to her UnSung episode. Her daughter sounds just like her.
@@anumbus Cool….the way Millie speak/ sings reminded me of a song I love that I’d like to share with you, I don’t know if you know it but if you don’t then enjoy, it’s by Barbara Mason and it’s called Another Man th-cam.com/video/kXEofWhKCVc/w-d-xo.html
Millie is the real deal but she didn’t get a lot of airplay because she was so vulgar, but she is soulful as hell. Her voice is very similar to Gladys Knight’s.
You might want to check the original which I believe was by a male singer named Luthar Ingram, then you can hear the liveries or freer style flow approach that Millie took on it. But on the real side, Millie was mad raw live. You never heard a woman really curse until you heard Ms. Millie, fo real son.
I thought I heard this from someone else before ...so I did some research ..Luther Ingram made this song first...but this is a nice remake by Millie Jackson. I noticed Nenah Cherry's song "Buffalo Stance " was playing in the intro can u tag me your reaction to that song please? 🙂
if u watch martin, she is the woman cookin thanksgiving dinner wit martins mother for pam and gina, singing pass the peas like u used to do🤣 when gina was snappin the peas
i know you could not do a reaction, but you should take the time to listen all the way through in one setting, to "Caught Up" and the sequel "Still Caught Up" that tells the story of the beginning and the end of the love triangle, from the perspective of both the mistress and that of the wife. Very heavy.
Yes I love her rendition also millie always putting it down good request and reaction jewelofares 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh, I didn’t know she sang this song too, I only knew of the Luther Ingram male version. I really like this version 😉 Very nice request 😌
