All 20 of the duet tracks that
Jackson recorded with
Maxine Brown for the Wand label between 1965 and 1967, comprising the entirety of their two albums for the company. It's reasonable pop/soul, but not nearly as memorable as the best male-female soul duets of the era (like the ones by
Marvin Gaye and various Motown partners, or by
Otis Redding and
Carla Thomas). Highlights are the early compositions by the
Jo Armstead-
Nick Ashford-
Valerie Simpson team, including a version of "Let's Go Get Stoned" that was recorded (though not released) before
Ray Charles' more famous hit rendition.
