Love Makes the World Go Round
Sure, Deon Jackson was a one-hit wonder, but what a hit 'Love Makes the World Go Round' was, a sweet 'n' supple soul masterpiece from what probably was the peak year for Top 40 pop music, 1966. And the rest of this Atco release comes awfully close to living up to its title track and album-opener with a mix of covers, Jackson originals and newly-arranged favorites from Jackson's previous recordings for the indie Detroit label, Carla. In fact, this one's got to be in the running for the best '60s Detroit soul album *not* released on Motown; includes 'Love Makes the World Go Round'; '1-2-3; Love Is What You Make It'; 'No, Not Much'; 'You Said You Love Me'; 'S.O.S.'; 'Love Takes a Long Time'; 'Nursery Rhymes'; 'King of the Road'; 'I'm Telling You'; 'Hush Little Baby', and 'Come Back Home'.
