WELL, UMM...

As long as the aesthetics and visual composition aren't a representation of the actual sound within it's all good.

funkpill said:

Looks good and sounds good.

MsLegs said:

funkpill said:

Indeed. This is for the ultimate Funk effect.

Does anyone know what Millie is up to nowadays?

She is a trip. I love me some Millie Jackson. She does a local radio show here in Dallas (3pm to 6pm Monday thru Friday on KKDA-AM). She has me laughing so hard that I almost wreck everyday. Her show doesn't stream online, but there is a myspace page for "The Millie Jackson show" that you can search for and hear clips.

She recently announced that she is going to release a live dvd. She recently shot it in LA. I don't recall the release date.

BTW, she loves Prince. She said once that she would love to get with that "little man".

i always think of millie jackson as what would have happened to bette midler if she hadn't gone the diane warren schlock-ballad/flick chick route...though i guess bette was more baudy and millie is more raunchy.

MsLegs said:

You mean that STANK!!! effect huh??

I knew what it was before I opened the thread.

My mom would listen to her while she drove me to school
I had to look at that cover on cassette some mornings.

In other words, she aint playin'!

CLASSIC SH*T!!!!! THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!
JUST AS CLASSIC AS HER "PHUCK U SYMPHONY" ON THE "LIVE & DANGEROUS" LP!!!!!
GO MILLIE!!!!!

Millie's a frigging trip! My mama LOVES her some Millie. She's a bad ass. Her version of "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right" is frighteningly delightful!

Wow,you're lucky that you get to hear her radio show.I wish I could hear it I'm sure she would have me crackin' up.Her humor is OUTRAGEOUS!

Yes,she's a huge Prince fan.On her 1987 album 'An Imitation Of Love',she covered his song "I Wanna Be Your Lover".

papaaisaway said:

That's her 1988 album 'Back To The Shit',a double live album that features her performing some of her songs,and doing standup comedy.I don't know if you're familiar with Millie,but she has an amazing sense of humor.She's very raunchy and provocative.She's also a superb singer....a truly soulful,powerful vocalist.Many of her album covers are insane....this is only one example,lol.

this one's my favorite...i don't know which i love more: the blue eye shadow, or the fact that it's called "feelin' bitchy".
