A Soul Essence (Great Yarmouth Soul Weekender) anthem which had my jaw dropping (and had me taking the 'walk of shame' to the deck to find out what it was) when I first heard Sean Hampsey drop the needle on this!
It has recently been re-recorded for his 2014 album 'The Other Side Of Me', and the original album version released for the first time in 45 format in 2016, and then also remixed by Nigel Lowis in 2019 (Nigel Lowis Uptown Mix / Nigel Lowis Downtown Mix) on Izipho Soul.
Until these recent releases it was only available on the obscure original KYC album 'One For The Road' released in 1982. Although the sleeve credits only Gregg Jackson, the label expands this to Gregg Jackson & The Strike Force Band. It's a private press mainly for the band to sell at its gigs, so be all accounts most copies that turn up are autographed as the only way to obtain them was direct from the band.
Gregg is still performing in Florida with Bossa Groove Band and you should be able to find some YT live clips of them performing. Sadly his wife, Amina, died in 2018 and Izipho dedicated the 2019 remixes to her.

The first 45 release which came out on Izipho Soul ZP02 in 2016 which has been long sold out.
Gregg Jackson [2016] - Your Love [Izipho Soul ZP02]
Another album track released for the first time on 45 on the flip of One For The Road on Izipho Soul in 2016.
A bonus track as I managed to find (only) one of the tracks from the 'One For The Road' album (which only contained 7 tracks so tat's 3 of them included here).
Gregg Jackson [2019] - One For The Road Nigel Lowis Mixes [Izipho Soul ZP23]
The YT clip samples both sides i.e. Nigel Lowis Uptown Mix and then Nigel Lowis Downtown Mix and has 'security' jingles embedded, so I've included links to Juno where you can listen to the whole tracks for both sides.
Nigel Lowis Uptown & Downtown Mixes as for some reason can only embed the Uptown mix
