Clarence Jackson (6)

US vocalist. Born in Philadelphia, February 12, 1919, Clarence Jackson’s musical beginnings in his native City of Brotherly Love are limited; the last of his direct family having died in 1963. By that time, Jackson had been living in Boston, Massachusetts since 1941. There are precious few recordings of Clarence Jackson; the most important being a 1948 recording of “POOR BUTTERFLY” on Crystal Tone Records as Clarence Jackson & His Four Notes of Rhythm, with an arrangement that featured his signature tenor. Accompanying Jackson were George Jones (bass), Kurt Treveigne (guitar), and Highland Diggs (piano). B: February 12, 1919 - D: August 29, 1986
