JACKIE WEAVER-PERKINS

Jackie was born in Florence Alabama and she now resides in Aurora Colorado, and for as long as she can remember, she has always had a love for music and to singing.  She first began singing after school, filling in at studio sessions with the late Tom Stafford, who created a studio over a drug store on Main Street in Florence, Alabama.  This was a place where many teenagers in the neighborhood could go and sing and record.  She met many up and coming singers and musicians there, such as Aretha Franklin, the late June Alexander, and Percy Sledge.  It was there that she met Mr. Billy Sherrill and Rick Hall of the famous FAME recording studio, of Muscle shoals, Alabama.  Billy Sherrill like her voice and invited her to record in Nashville, TN.  Together they recorded a hit song called “The Tingle”, which was the flip side of the single “Teenage Troubles” also recorded by Jackie.  She was signed to a five year contract, at 16 under Noel Ball’s Chess Records with Billy Sherrill acting as her manager.  Unfortunately Jackie didn’t get another hit out of her deal, but she gained much wisdom of the industry from her experience at FAME.

Jackie’s love for music and singing has taken her to many places as an artist such as France, China, Spain, and Mexico. Below is a brief look at my accomplishments as a singer:
