I'm a former radio personality. I saw Millie Jackson open for the Isley Brothers at the University of Dayton Arena back in the late 70's or very early 80's. She literally stole the show!!! On that particular night the legendary Isley Brothers got by on respect, and a massive catalog of hit records. But as far as showmanship, and stomping a stage is concerned, Millie should have closed that show! I have so much respect for her work! She was Hip Hop, before Hip Hop was ever thought about.👑💖
Great story---Thanks @NickBusbeeFunkSchoolRadio for sharing. I saw her in Atlanta, years ago!!!! her daughter with her....... nice treat!! Also had her dVd but I guess those are a thing of the past.... still thinks she's great!!
I am screaming 😆 🤣 😂 my parents played Millie Jackson and though I was innocent and didn't know what I was singing, I sung the lyrics with passion at 5 years-old 🤣🤣🤣
Around 20 years ago, I was in a play with Millie. It was quite memorable because she was given a script but wanted to wing it when we got on stage. It was scary and exhilarating all at once. Fun lady!! 😂
I was at the Atlanta Airport waiting for a layover flight, and I saw Millie. I straight fangirled!!! I wanted to walk over to her, and one of her band mates said "yeah, you can go over to her"!!! I was like 😮☺️🥰, and she was so warm and approachable, and she made an awesome comment about a pair of boots I had on... A day I will NEVER forget!!!
Mother and daughter look exactly alike. It's amazing. I would love to hear the difference of Ms. Millie career vs the more radio friendly careers who gained greater popularity. Her story has got to be awesome.
Great to see Ms. Mille Jackson. Betty Wright and Millie Jackson were two amazing funky soul artist. We couldn't touch those albums in my parents house or else. The 60s and 70s music was the best.
I had all the Millie albums in high school....I now have all the music on CDs... Would love to see another live show.. Millie can work the mic and the stage..💯🔥👍 This is a frugal podcast, they don't give the guests water bottles.🙄 The original female GOAT..
Always loved Millie! Saw her performance with Paul Mooney opening at the Total Experience Nightclub in L.A. back in the day (the night Chaka Khan was in the audience)! She was amazing. Thank you Questlove for this interview.
This interview would've been greater if not for all the talking heads on the right. No need for so many cohorts especially when they take away from the interview. Alas, Millie is A LEGEND!!! I could listen to her stories for ages.
Millie Jackson was ahead of her time. She was bold and sassy nasty all alone for years. Lil Kim, Nikki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion & Cardio B don't even know she's the Blueprint of what they doing now. Homage is due to Ms Millie Jackson 👏🏽👏🏽
..could not have said it better. Im pretty sure Lil' Kim and Fox' know her..Ive even heard Kim tip her cap to Millie. But them other ones?...nah..they wouldnt know Millie unless somebody introduced her to them. And at the end of the day, THEY NEED TO KNOW HER..AND BOW DOWN, FOR REAL.
What she said about the 2 year old song being nominated at the Grammys was deja Vu 💯! NO hate on Aretha, but now I understand why celebrities boycott. loved this 🖤🌟
Millie said that back in the day, they wouldn't allow allow her to sing "A Child of God" because it has the word "God" in it, so she ended up singing a Gladys Knight song instead. 🤣
that song is a protest song. And it is JUST AS RELEVANT as Mayfield's "People Get Ready"...or Nina Simone's "Young, Gifted and Black" or "Gil Scott Heron's "the Revolution Will Not Be Televised".
My parents would not allow us to listen to Millie because it was for adults only. We knew she was off limits, when I became an adult I bought Mille's clean audio tape. I loved every song. I still quote to younger people and others that love is a dangerous game to play when you are not playing by the rules. Then let them know that's a Millie Jackson song. 💖
Millie Jackson is a beast! My dad loved her music and played it often.......I can remember hearing I know you gotta chick on da side goddammit I know you gotta chick on da side.....
@@nyotauhura5646 correct however on Millie’s live album before she sings the Phuck U Symphony, she shouts out TPS who were in the audience at that show and she sings the chorus , so the commenter could very well recall Ms Millie singing chick on the side 💜
Let's give Millie Jackson HER props. Don't erase her agency as a WOMAN with this "non-binary" whatever ish! This ONLY happens with pioneering (and often underrated) WOMEN. You don't see a bunch of folks erasing MALES this way. It's not inclusive.
Oh Ok ...then I'll say it then! HOW awkward to have a legend sitting there for what seemed like FOREVER while a cast of .....respectfully ...unknown folk talk about a lot of nothing...with a LEGEND sitting there.....having to participate in a sort of grade school roll call....put on the spot to make up nursery rhymes....It was uncomfortable to watch a LEGEND SITTING THERE....a woman of a certain maturity having to seemingly be made to be LAST priority on the itinerary again as we hear about folks who are respectfully unknown talk about stuff not very interesting ....with a LEGEND SITTING THERE unannounced for what seemed like forever ...Sorry I have to say it how it really felt I am watching my lady Miss MIllie Jackson the legendary just being ignored & I don't overstand why this was done this way! She's not just a legend but an elder too ...NO I did not even get to where she was finally acknowledged because I could barely watch her sit there ...just sitting there it seemed almost disrespectful. So I had to stop the video and start the comment sorry if it is offensive but this was rather offensive as well! WHY is Millie Jackson sitting there waiting to be even just introduced ??? YES she was graceful enough to just sit there but DYAAAM ...lets treat our elder legends a little BETTER than this guys really! Sorry I HAD TO say it & will just deal with any flack for that! .
QL and Ms Millie had smoke, that's why. Kiesha provided a bit of reel-in for her momma. Folk were walking on eggshells with this interview. Anything could have happened. Ms Millie is a legend both in music and in personality.
My mother used to be a big Millie Jackson fan, so when her tour came to our midwestern town, my mom got front roll seats to the concert for her, and my 18-year-old cousin. My mother said she picked my cousin out of the crowd and insulting him. The next day my mother threw away all her Millie Jackson albums and told us what happened. After watching this I realize she is known for her foul mouth, so I don't know what my mom was thinking taking my cousin with her.
OH! OH!! OOOH!! The Original (whole word) Gangstress of Gab! The Princess of Pipes! There'd be no Missy Elliot, no MTS, no Minaj no nuthin w/o this woman!
PHONTE IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER IM THE NIGGA THAT WAS AT THE SIGNING AT RASPUTIN RECORDS OR AOMEBA RECORDS IN BERKELEY BACK IN 2005 WHERE I HAD ALL OF THE JUSTUS LEAGUE CD'S AND YOU WAS LIKE OH SHIT HE GOT ALL OF OUR SHIT INCLUDING THE MIXTAPES
This interview was horrible. None of them including Questlove did their research on Millie Jackson. Also, they were talking over each other and poor Millie was losing her train of thought. They had the ball, but a touchdown was never made. Very disappointed😤
Quest, love the show. The only thing, do the show with just you. The 3 people keep interrupting and sounds like they weren't very knowledgeable about music abd didn't do their homework.😊

Yes she was
My oldest sisters took our family friend and Pastor to a Millie Jackson concert and our Mama was appalled but Rev. absolutely loved it.
Great story---Thanks @NickBusbeeFunkSchoolRadio for sharing. I saw her in Atlanta, years ago!!!! her daughter with her....... nice treat!! Also had her dVd but I guess those are a thing of the past.... still thinks she's great!!
Ms. Jackson did not understand how the roll call worked & got hot. 😂 That was adorable. Love love love her.
😂 she was ready to fight.
I am screaming 😆 🤣 😂 my parents played Millie Jackson and though I was innocent and didn't know what I was singing, I sung the lyrics with passion at 5 years-old 🤣🤣🤣

@user-ku1mm7df5r was it "Older Woman, Younger Man"? She & her daughter were in it ... hilarious ... best scene? "Banana ... " 🤣🤣🤣
Millie’s daughter sounds JUST like her!
Look just like her

i just fell in love with both of them more
She’s An Underrated Genius
not just with the lyrics like 2day
but with her way of thinking
Always loved Millie! Saw her performance with Paul Mooney opening at the Total Experience Nightclub in L.A. back in the day (the night Chaka Khan was in the audience)! She was amazing. Thank you Questlove for this interview.

Agreed! That chick Layeah or whatever her name is, is the worst and annoying as hell.
@@breal9028 yep. I just had to get used to her. If she just took it down a notch…
The Phuck U symphony is still the ish LOL
I just played it yesterday.
I love Millie Jackson her For Men Only Album is so underrated it is MASTERPIECE
All of these chicks claiming to be the queen of rap, you are looking at the QUEEN of Rap!!!!
Millie Jackson DOC would be instresting!
VERY
"All The Way Lover" is my ish too and on constant airplay
Lovers & Girlfriends is a classic Millie track.
A MUST LISTEN!
Millie Jackson was ahead of her time. She was bold and sassy nasty all alone for years. Lil Kim, Nikki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion & Cardio B don't even know she's the Blueprint of what they doing now. Homage is due to Ms Millie Jackson 👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely
..could not have said it better. Im pretty sure Lil' Kim and Fox' know her..Ive even heard Kim tip her cap to Millie. But them other ones?...nah..they wouldnt know Millie unless somebody introduced her to them. And at the end of the day, THEY NEED TO KNOW HER..AND BOW DOWN, FOR REAL.
I love you Millie Jackson your the Original O.G. There's not another like you my Sweet Cussing Queen. Hell Yeah!!!
OMG ..2 of my favorites! Ms Millie Jackson and Ms Keisha Jackson
What she said about the 2 year old song being nominated at the Grammys was deja Vu 💯! NO hate on Aretha, but now I understand why celebrities boycott. loved this 🖤🌟
I wish my mother was alive today (1954-2015) to watch this interview! Millie Jackson was her idol and I was too afterwards!
8 mins in still waiting to hear Millie talk
My dad loved her! When I seen Millie's Feelin B**tchy and Back to the Sh** album covers I HAD TO KNOW WHO SHE WAS I HAD TO LISTEN!!! LOL 👀
Millie Jackson ain't nothing but the truth. We always had a great relationship to this day and I will always love that woman.
Keisha looks damn good 2 b 57.
My first Adult albums was MILLIE...STILL LOVE HER
A living Legend mz Millie the queen of raunchy rap before lil kim, Nikki & all dem other hos there was Millie
Ohhh this is so good! Love Ms Millie Jackson. Hard to Believe A Child of God is my favorite .
It hurt so good..sorry I couldn’t resist! hope you’re old enough to know Millie’s version of the song

Her daughter looks like her from the 70s OMG spitting image
First time I have seen milliie jackson since the 70s, she used to rock the house
Greatest live performer imo
I like “Hard times” and “It hurts so good”
Wish Millie will tour. Love her and all her albums
Quest interview your legends by yourself.
Hello Millie & Keisha ... played trombone in your band in 1980 including a tour of South Africa .... best wishes always!
love millie j
Good to see you Phonte. Been some years since college in Duram and our run in in Seattle. One creative dude.
MILLIE JACKSON!! I LOVEEEEEEE HER! LEGENDARY!!
I thought they were supposed to interview millie Jackson, all they do is talk and never let the person who were supposed to hear talk.
👏👏👏👏This was awesome! Love mother and daughter Jackson ❤
24:26
lmao Aretha was always a trip. However, she couldn't stop Millie's show.
Flowers!
Millie Jackson is a beast! My dad loved her music and played it often.......I can remember hearing I know you gotta chick on da side goddammit I know you gotta chick on da side.....
The beautiful and talented POINTER SISTERS made “chick on the side” not ignorant MIllie or the sorry ass Dj’s.

Wow Keisha looks exactly like her mother 🤩💯🙌🏽
It's great to see them all in one room and not on camera at home.
The beginning is love ...pure love 😄

Millie Jackson you rock...Saw you in Chicago at Black Expo back in the day....A true Empress

Intro is way to long not looking at HER and saying her name. Maybe you guys said things before rolling, which is why may have seemed unusual.
Loving to see Phone and Ms Millie Jackson !!! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏💯

Sorry I HAD TO say it & will just deal with any flack for that!

No flack!!
The baddest soul queen of dem all !
My mom played her music 🎶 🎵 🎼 alll the time 😄😄❤️❤️ !!
I saw Ms.Jackson at the Beacon Theater in NY perform Younger man older woman.
This woman is a legend period!!! Just everything
Millie is still one of the best preformers alive she doesn't have to take a back seat to no one
Y’all should have had Mrs.Jody call in on Millie 😂😂😂😂
That would of been epic. Wonder if they're still wives in law
I ❤ Mildred Virginia " Millie " Jackson !!
Ooh I cannot wait!
Love it💙
Ooh I heard the intro and feel like dancing happy dances. Happy to have found this..
you all have a fantastic 2023. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Quest Love, thank you for asking about Betty Davis!
Much Gratitude
I'm crying at her not wanting/expecting Keisha to cuss
why are you looking AWAY from Millie to introduce her?
Dude is horrible
The worst intro to a super star. Non professional and I am a roots fan.
QL and Ms Millie had smoke, that's why. Kiesha provided a bit of reel-in for her momma. Folk were walking on eggshells with this interview. Anything could have happened. Ms Millie is a legend both in music and in personality.
Dope
The Intros back!!!!!
the phuck u song is a classic, first heard it when I was living in jacksonville fla. for a minute back in 1980.
I love this 😂
Millie is the best who ever done it.
Classic! ❤️🌹
I didnt know millie was so lightskinned
My mother used to be a big Millie Jackson fan, so when her tour came to our midwestern town, my mom got front roll seats to the concert for her, and my 18-year-old cousin.

I need that T-Shirt Keisha has on.
RUclips official! 🙂
LOVED This.
OH! OH!! OOOH!! The Original (whole word) Gangstress of Gab! The Princess of Pipes! There'd be no Missy Elliot, no MTS, no Minaj no nuthin w/o this woman!
Such a legend
Milli is a fine ass old lady 😂
That girl interviwer is annoying
She's horrendous!! The constant interruptions you can tell she's out of her element talking to someone of Millie's status
The least knowledgeable, and her constant commentary and remarks are annoying asf! She is the worst thing about this podcast!
@@itsthehumor95 very!
EXTREMELY PATHETIC
ALL OF THEM ARE
Love this episode!
👑Millie Jackson👑❤️
The Apollo show was the funniest thing i have seen
Questlove should try to get OutKast or RTJ on here
PHONTE IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER IM THE NIGGA THAT WAS AT THE SIGNING AT RASPUTIN RECORDS OR AOMEBA RECORDS IN BERKELEY BACK IN 2005 WHERE I HAD ALL OF THE JUSTUS LEAGUE CD'S AND YOU WAS LIKE OH SHIT HE GOT ALL OF OUR SHIT INCLUDING THE MIXTAPES
Millie Jackson Hammersmith London 1987, wow 😯
Keisha is a spitting image of her mother
Been missing roll call 😄
no water for the guests?
Love Miller Jackson....
Great interview!
This interview was horrible. None of them including Questlove did their research on Millie Jackson. Also, they were talking over each other and poor Millie was losing her train of thought. They had the ball, but a touchdown was never made. Very disappointed😤
They all are wack and ignorant!
