The story of this collaboration between two of
the greatest voices of all time happened when Chuck Jackson brought a demo
tape of the tender ballad "If I Let Myself
Go" to producer Charles Wallert. Wallert
loved the track, and suggested that it would make a fantastic duet. But
who could match the passion and power of Chuck's voice?
Chuck immediately thought of Dionne Warwick, who
was a labelmate of his during their Scepter records days. "Big sister"
Dionne and "Big brother" Chuck, as the two affectionately call
each other, have remained close over the years.
So, one morning at about 6 a.m. California time,
Chuck, not being able to wait any longer, phoned his "Big sister"
Dionne, and provided one of the best wake up calls ever by singing the romantic
song to her. Dionne loved the song and the idea for the duet. |
