Every decade or two the entertainment industry surprisingly discover the abilities and vocal superiority of a musical genius. That musical genius has materialized in the form of Jerome Jackson. Mr. Jackson always had the showmanship, dedication and range to become a leading vocalist but his talents were always shadowed or ignored. His early experiences began with gospel music at age 12, performing with James Cleveland and Shirley Caesar, gaining confidence and showmanship. He officially began his professional career in 1971 with the group Richmond Extension in Richmond, Virginia under the direction of Disco artist Van McCoy who recorded the legendary hit "The Hustle". Jerome went on to release a single entitled "Everything's Coming Up Love". He continued to perform in and around the Virginia area with the Richmond Extension until 1976 at which time he moved on and joined a new R&B group called "The Jones". So thereafter they changed their name to the "Nobles" and recorded an album with CBS Records and released a single "I Never Believed In Love Until I Fell In Love With You". His career now had some stability and fulfillment whereas he could see big credible opportunities. In 1986, the big opportunity came when he joined the top R&B group Main Ingredient which consisted of Cuba Gooding Sr. and Tony Sylvester, in 1990 another huge break came when join the infamous Drifters. Jerome went on to acclaimed performances on Soul Train, The Apollo Theatre and both Inaugural Ball's for President Bill Clinton.
