Chuck Jackson never achieved the heights that his talent warranted, mainly because during his heyday in the early 1960's, Soul had not yet reached the high profile it would a couple of years later.

Nevertheless the sixties were golden years for Chuck. Between 1961 and 1968 he chalked up no less than 23 Billboard Top 100 chart entries, plus 19 top R&B hits. Chuck Jackson was Mr. Crossover, a man of many markets.
