Career
Jackson was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1937. He grew up in Latta, South Carolina, singing in a gospel group, and moved to Pittsburgh when he was 13.
Between 1957 and 1959, he was a member of The Del-Vikings, singing lead on the 1957 release "Willette". After leaving the group, he was "discovered" by Luther Dixon when he opened for Jackie Wilson at the Apollo Theater. He signed a recording contract with Scepter Records subsidiary Wand Records.

The song charted on both the R&B and pop charts. In 1962, Jackson's recording of the Burt Bacharach-Bob Hilliard song "Any Day NowAny Day NowSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 12 tracks1I Keep Forgettin’2:462Any Day Now3:283Just Once2:114The Same Old Story2:235Whatcha’ Gonna Say Tomorrow2:256Make the Night a Little Longer2:307Who’s Gonna Pick Up the Pieces2:438In Real Life2:479Angel of Angels2:3410The Breaking Point2:2511The Prophet2:3012Everybody Needs Love1:53" became a sizable hit and his signature song. His popularity in the 1960s prompted him to buy out the time on his contract from Scepter and move to Motown Records. He later commented the decision was "one of the worst mistakes I ever made in my life". He recorded a few successful singles including "Honey Come Back" for Motown. Then he recorded for All Platinum and other labels but with minimal success.
After meeting producer/composer Charles Wallert at the Third Annual Beach Music Awards, the two collaborated to record "How Long Have You Been Loving Me" on Carolina Records. In 1998, Jackson teamed with longtime friend Dionne Warwick and recorded "If I Let Myself Go"; it was arranged as a duet by Wallert for Wave Entertainment. The recording received critical acclaim charting at number 19 on the Gavin Adult Contemporary Charts. Jackson then released "What Goes Around, Comes Around", another Wallert production and composition; it reached No. 13 on the Gavin Charts.
Legacy
Several of Jackson's songs later became hits for other artists including Ronnie Milsap, whose 1982 cover version of "Any Day NowAny Day NowSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 12 tracks1I Keep Forgettin’2:462Any Day Now3:283Just Once2:114The Same Old Story2:235Whatcha’ Gonna Say Tomorrow2:256Make the Night a Little Longer2:307Who’s Gonna Pick Up the Pieces2:438In Real Life2:479Angel of Angels2:3410The Breaking Point2:2511The Prophet2:3012Everybody Needs Love1:53" reached No. 1 on the Country and Adult Contemporary charts. Michael McDonald covered "I Keep Forgettin'" with much success. "I Keep Forgettin'" was also covered by David Bowie on his album Tonight, as well as on a version produced by Phil Spector for the Checkmates, Ltd. Jackson was close friends with political strategist Lee Atwater. He appears in the documentary Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story.
Australian pop-rock band Big Pig recorded a cover of "I Can't Break Away", simply titled "Breakaway", which was used as the opening theme to the 1989 film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. The song was covered in 2007 by house music singer Inaya Day.
On 4 October 2015, Chuck Jackson was inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame. His song "Hand it Over" was featured on the 2019 video game, Far Cry New Dawn. In 2021, his song "Any Day Now" was used in a Volkswagen commercial.
Jackson died on February 16, 2023, at the age of 85.
