Incredibly for a group a talented as the Jackson Sisters this self-titled set from this Detroit based five piece sibling act was their sole album release and was unleased in 1976. Maybe by the mid-70s their brand of funky soul was already out-dated with Disco beginning to really take hold. ‘Miracles’ is undoubtedly their signature tune and differs slightly here from the 7” cut, the irresistible funky soul of ‘Boy You’re Dynamite’ has that bubbling, infectious dance tempo that gives it a soaring feel while ‘Rocking On My Porch’ has a southern lilt. Their version of Aretha’s ‘Rock Steady’ is a as tough and funky a cover as you’d ask for while the skipping, northern soul of ‘Shake You Loose’ reminds of Gladys Knight in her more uptempo moments. Great album
