In this episode, I get to talk with the spectacular singer/actor/performer, Connie Jackson.
Connie is best known in the Phil Collins world for her work singing backing vocals on the 2004 - 05 First Final Farewell Tour, and on the 2010 Going Back Tour. She also sang on the Going Back record, something she talks about in the interview.
Connie is also an accomplished actress on TV, the stage and in films. She has been a regular recurring guest star on the TV show NCIS for the last 10 years, appeared in many hit shows like Weeds, This is US and 9-1-1, to name a few. She was in the Broadway revival of Dreamgirls on the stage, and is currently beginning a new film project with a multi-Academy Award-winning Director.
In this episode we learn a bit about Connie and lots about her time working with the incredible, Phil Collins. She shares her perspective on all things Phil, and why she believes that he belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a Solo Artist.
Enjoy!
A side note; My dear friend and co-host, Kathy Steffen, has had to take time away from the podcasts for personal reasons related to family health. She promises to return when possible, and hopes you are all enjoying the interviews.
