Deon Jackson [2022] - Someday The Sun Will Shine / I Remember The Feeling [Hit And Run #HR 1555]


The second release on 17 Nov '22 from Hit And Run is a pair of unreleased sides (at the time) from, generally overlooked and underrated, Detroit artist Deon Jackson

The lead side "Someday The Sun Will Shine" was a self-written, unknown and unreleased , song until an acetate was discovered (by Dean Anderson at Stafford in the 80s now owned by Carl Fortnum I believe?) which resulted in a bootleg appearing on Canadian label Maple St. CD "Detroit Dynamite" and then on a counterfeit Carla label with "I've Got So Much Love". Hit And Run has carefully remastered it for vinyl release (included below). 

The flip side is a cover of the Barbara Lewis, Rose Marie McCoy written, floater "I Remember The Feeling" which she released as a B side to "Baby What Do You Want Me To Do" on Atlantic in 1966. It was paired with the Barbara Lewis version on 7" by Stardust (probably late 90s / early 00s as a guess) and was also issued by Goldie 45 along with the biggest of his only two hits "Love Makes The World Go Around" circa 1974.

We did a fairly comprehensive post on Deon Jackson earlier this year when we came across a 25 track digital compilation "Presenting Deon Jackson" but omitted "Someday The Sun Will Shine".

The single is available now to order by sending £15 (£12 + £3 postage) to: hitandrunsoul45@gmail.com

  1. Awesome singer!!! Note that the version of Barbara Lewis is called "I Remember The Feeling" while that of Deon Jackson can be found with "Still Remember The Feeling" And yet listening carefully the two singers say "Still" and for me, that doesn't quite have the same meaning, but it's the same song.

  2. Yves you may be correct Barbara Lewis is titled I Remember The Feeling as is Deon Jackson on the only two vinyl issues but does appear on a few later compilations as, 'inaccurately', Still Remember The Feeling. ... but it is registered on BMI as I Remember The Feeling: https://repertoire.bmi.com/Search/Search?Main_Search_Text=i%20remember%20the%20feeling&Main_Search=Title&Sub_Search=Please%20Select&Search_Type=all&View_Count=0&Page_Number=0
