"It almost seems funny, but the tougher the life of this person, the more it is bordered with baricades imposed by society, politics, a tough existence, the more the Moon will drive the imagination and the need to create in the world a small world that is only his, in which he is free to read, write, paint, travel, believe that true values are not lost by gathering around him intellectuals, artists, people of style and class"

Jackie DeShannon “I Keep Wanting You” (Imperial 66281-B, 1968)

Jackie DeShannon’s Me About You was the last LP to genuinely place her in the blender with equal parts Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield (with a little bit of Tabasco in the form of Bobbie Gentry/Brenda Holloway influence) and expected her to turn out a hit single.

And no matter how beautiful the efforts were on the LP, none of the singles made much of a headway in 1968, which is sad, because it’s one of the better Femme Pop LP efforts of the late 1960s.
