Jimmy G. & the Tackheads is one of George Clinton's least known side projects. Released in 1984 on Capitol Records, I believe I learned about the record in a Greg Tate review in the Village Voice. It soon became one of my favorite albums in a period that was all about Michael Jackson and Prince. If it had come out a few years before it might've been a big hit, instead it fell through the cracks. Oh...Jimmy G. was George Clinton's brother and the album was co-produced by trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist Steve Washington, formerly of Slave. https://www.waxpoetics.co...-tackheads

I used to have this album back in the day. I listen to a couple of tracks on Spotify

Clockwork and Always Break My Heart. I remember when the latter broke out on radio.

The record store owner told me the album had been out awhile but the song had just started

getting airplay.

I remember the single "Break My Heart" getting some airplay on our local R&B station.I should probably check out the album.
