Joe Jackson

David Ian "Joe" Jackson (born 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter. Having spent years studying music and playing clubs, he scored a hit with his first release, "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", in 1979. It was followed by a number of new wave singles, before he moved to more jazz-inflected pop music and had a top 10 hit in 1982 with "Steppin' Out". Jackson is associated with the 1980s Second British Invasion of the US. He has also composed classical music. He has recorded 20 studio albums and received five Grammy Award nominations.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played many of Joe Jackson's songs between 1978 and 1979, including a session. However, by the time the 80's arrived, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the artist. In 2000, Samurai Seven did a cover of Jackson's, 'It's Different For Girls', for Peel's programme in February 2000. After Peel's death, it was later found out that he had a copy of Joe Jackson's 'Look Sharp' and 'I'm The Man' albums in his Record Collection: J.
