So it was a major leap of faith for the company to book Jackie into Fine Recording Studios in New York with producer Clyde Otis to record an album of songs written by or closely associated with Ray Charles. Once completed, Liberty scheduled the release of her “Hits Of The Genius” LP in January 1962. However, in November 1961, not long after Jackie’s sessions, Bobby Darin also recorded an album’s worth of Ray Charles songs. When Atlantic Records announced the release of “Bobby Darin Sings Ray Charles”, this effectively put the kibosh on Liberty’s plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf the 11 tracks intended for Jackie’s shelved album, ‘Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying’ would be included on her “This Is Jackie DeShannon” LP in 1965. Liberty issued ‘Ain’t That Love’ and ‘I’ll Drown In My Own Tears’ on singles in late 1961 and early ’62, and ‘This Little Boy Of Mine’ appeared on a Ray Charles tribute collection over 40 years later; the stereo mixes of all three debut here. The remaining seven “Hits Of The Genius” tracks are previously unreleased in any format. Jackie’s soulful vocals are sensational throughout: torrid and exciting on the up-tempo ‘Swanee River Rock’, ‘I Got A Sweetie’, ‘What’d I Say’, ‘Yes Indeed’ and ‘Hallelujah, I Love Him So’, and moody and atmospheric on the slower ‘Night Time Is The Right Time’ and ‘Georgia On My Mind’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the bonus tracks are a further six recorded in New York with producer Clyde Otis, of which ‘I Won’t Turn You Down’ and ‘Baby (When Ya Kiss Me)’ appear here in stereo for the first time, the latter in an alternate take. Elsewhere, ‘I Don’t Think So Much Of Myself Now’, produced by Dick Glasser in Nashville, is here in first-time stereo and ‘That’s What Boys Are Made Of’ is an alternate take. The other nine bonus titles – including two more Ray Charles songs and several written by Jackie with Sharon Sheeley – are previously unreleased full stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter all these years, Jackie’s recollections of the “Hits Of The Genius” project are still focused: “I always had such respect for Ray Charles. For me, he was an artist who brought country, blues and rock’n’roll to the forefront. Unfortunately, although I saw him perform, I never got to meet him. I thought it would be interesting to record some of his songs and I wanted to experience what it would be like to delve into his catalogue. My favourites from the sessions are ‘Night Time Is The Right Time’, ‘I’ll Drown In My Own Tears’, ‘What’d I Say’ and ‘Yes Indeed’. To me, those are the heavy-hitters. ‘Fool For You’ is another one I particularly like. All the musicians on this project were extremely talented and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in the recording sessions.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ace Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50411968266571,"sku":"2191341","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/CDTOP_1643_Jackie_DeShannon_65b0b0f2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726664022"},{"product_id":"love-forever-demo-recordings-1966-1967-by","title":"Love Forever - Demo Recordings 1966-1968 - RSD 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy in-store on Record Store Day (12\/04\/2025).

Her recordings during this time initially emphasized rhythm-and-blues material and then embraced the folk era blending with west coast country rock and the Southern California sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a staff member of Metric Music, Jackie created a countless number of demo recordings. Although some of these have appeared on unofficial\/bootleg CDs over the years and a few were sprinkled in her with her Liberty\/Imperial releases, there has never been a complete authorized commercial issue of DeShannon demos until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovering the years 1966-67, \u003cem\u003eLove Forever\u003c\/em\u003e offers over a dozen demo selections by Jackie which reflect the decade's shift to a more introspective songwriting approach. Although Jackie enjoyed major hit singles such as \"\"What the World Needs Now Is Love\"\" and her evergreen anthem \"\"Put a Little Love In Your Heart,\"\" her craftsmanship as a tunesmith took a more personal approach here. And with recollections by Lady Love herself as well as photographs from her private collection, \u003cem\u003eLove Forever\u003c\/em\u003e paints a picture of a timeless artist evolving with the times, on her way to new creative territory in the 1970s with career crowning compositions and recordings at Capitol, Atlantic, Columbia, and Amherst Records. And best of all, most of the tunes and tracks on \u003cem\u003eLove Forever\u003c\/em\u003e will be new even to DeShannon devotees! Valentine red with white swirl vinyl limited to 1250 copies! Includes an insert with notes by esteemed rock historian Richie Unterberger drawn from an interview with Jackie.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store Day","offers":[{"title":"LP - Red","offer_id":51404151390539,"sku":"R0775-4395","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/rQ3SPojtJK8EERNxfvnFnVowfoSuJpRC2WD2PAhNkNw-1920w.jpg?v=1741344501"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/jackie-deshannon-1.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
