Millie Jackson exploded onto the music scene in the 60s with a brashness never before seen in pop culture. Her songs cover a wide swath of genres and are known for blending acerbic humor with heartache, pride, and scorn. She commonly includes extended spoken rants, often to detail her sexual exploits or to taunt a loathsome man in her life.

She had quite a prolific career, releasing at least one album every year for over twenty years.
