Millie Jackson - rare interview (1980)

There has never been anyone quite like the fabulous Millie Jackson in the annals of American r'n'b music, a true maverick and savvy business woman who not only masterminded and managed her own career but gave her audience plenty to cheer about. This 1980 interview shows why Millie is all things controversial, independent and a woman pioneer in the music business

That’s my mom, closest to the camera singing background for her 😩🙌🏽 I’ve been looking for a glimpse of her early career and to see it for a second is really amazing 🫶🏽

[@taotaostrong]

Your mom is beautiful! ❤

[@kendriadrakes742]

Wow that's great

[@Queenchii]

I love it for both you and your mum❤

[@amyjr7950]

Nice 😊

[@taotaostrong]

Her cheekbones, skin, and smile are 🔥! ❤

[@MelodyMaker151]

Her face card could NOT be denied. Her features were so pretty.

[@Mongo76]

Millie originated, built, and perfected her own lane and she IS A LEGEND!!!!!!! The one and only. Her daughter Keshia is a good singer as well.

[@nicctee6054]

Her facial features are the blueprint❤

[@michellehubbard8865]

I didn't know about her until now but it's love at first sight. Amazing lady.

[@derrickcrawford2581]

The legendary Millie Jackson!! ❤️❤️

[@cecillebarone9252]

She tells the truth that's why she had haters

[@NJerseyQueen]

She was a strong women and I love her but the interviewer was passive aggressive and clearly being negative . We know why though.

[@thomasvista]

I don't like the interview. That guy was just trying to make Millie out to be some degenerate, which I hate. Leave her alone, her life is her business!

[@Piesis9]

It’s Bill O’Reilly formerly of Fox News so what do you expect? He’s always been a jerk

[@CHEWS]

Look closely at the interviewer. It's Bill O' Reilly. A jerk then, as he is now.

[@JS-tb9sn]

that's literally bill o'reilly 🤣🤣🤣🤣 of course he would!

[@Mongo76]

He acted like she was doing porn onstage. Her act isn't rated X. Instead of talking about how she originated her style an her career. She actually started out as a model. I'm with you he doesn't know anything about her. He was a ver incompetent and unprepared interviewer.

[@timsmooth39]

Millie is an Original Boss Lady. Far ahead of her time.

[@RoyalAbundance]

I love Millie! Truly liberated and fearless.!

[@MrDreskee03]

The original city girl

[@nola5045]

No millies talented 😂😂😂 but yes

[@markmccombs6235]

that spirit. there is no one like her. couldn't bullshit if she had to.

[@B4REELZGAMING]

Way ahead of her time

[@amyjr7950]

Right on Millie ❤ I saw you live in concert when I was stationed in Wurzburg Germany and you were awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@darkfeather6857]

Good for her! I love her raw honesty. Personally I never liked her voice, but I'm glad she was able to make a great living with her abilities.

[@lawrencehoward4736]

Millie is one of the favorite female singers

[@jessicapalomino9412]

Money is a motive, you go girl

[@tei-mensahodoi8134]

I've always loved her music as kid in late 70s til today

[@lafilmmaker]

Millie was before her time. Bill o reilly the old school vlad.

[@globalgogetter4469]

Exactly. Same ole $hit

[@jaybrown3341]

So beautiful…her life story is incredible 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@cstyles744]

She paved the way for female rappers of today.

[@msdeshabangbang]

A trailblazer!

[@FCLaney]

The under current of judgement in this segment is cringeworthy but she takes it all in and answers with a smile

[@eclass777]

Isn’t that Bill O’Reilly doing the interview?

[@twallace6262]

Damn it. It is. The sneak disses and backhanded compliments are making sense.

[@kedavis]

OMG!! Amazing catch!

[@dreamcatcher6164]

She reminds me of Leslie Jones.

[@speakingfromthecloset6767]

How did you get so smart? What kind of question is that

[@nola5045]

The voice a beautiful strong black woman

[@OakCliffTX82]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="317">5:17</a> “some talent” is disrespectful. Millie has a really dope catalogue, and her musical arrangements are on the level with Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Frankie Beverly/Maze. (I use them because they are only ones I can think of with 10 min songs on soulful beats)

[@ninalee8705]

A Legend

[@javandrayton770]

Happy birthday miss Millie

[@resistanceisfutile76]

I love her!

[@Mongo76]

He acted like she was doing porn onstage. Her act isn't rated X. Instead of talking about how she originated her style an her career. She actually started out as a model. He doesn't know anything about her. He was a ver incompetent and unprepared interviewer. And WTF does her children and their fathers have to do with ANYTHING? Then to ask her why she didn't marry the fathers what kind of question is that? That has absolutely nothing to do with her career, her stageshow, or her talent. I hope she cussed him out off the record.

[@luckymalange5179]

The legendary indeed 🤠 lover so much ❤️

[@jeffreyj3906]

Wow does anyone else recognize that's Bill OReilly interviewing the amazing Miss Jackson?!

[@TheGANGSTARDAVE]

[@zyriatilley]

Talk Your Shit Mill💯

[@yomioloko9727]

Such an amazing singer, a real woman and massive talent. However the interviewer is totally biased

[@dddddadadad1796]

My girl!

[@roisterer6913]

Wow, 2 kids but not married, I'm clutching my pearls!

[@globalgogetter4469]

Surprised??

[@julez6nine]

Bill O'Reilly damn

[@kincamell2]

Peace to Milllie

[@danaallen7750]

Lo❤e her 🎉

[@withinequalswithout3889]

The interviewer is BILL O’REILLY

[@OakCliffTX82]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="64">1:04</a> what song is this from? Is it just instrumental and adlib? That beat is nasty

[@davidingham3409]

She is too modest. She is helping to fix an important problem, sexual repression.

[@odinosiris8951]

Was that Bill O'Reilly interviewing her?

[@robertleobrown5656]

♥

[@RisingPhoenixHealth]

Is that Bill Reilly?

[@kedavis]

Yes

[@TheExtraIntellectual]

I was trying to figure out who the interviewer was. His face is familiar. Bill O’Reilly. It figures! His condescending questions.

[@GamerGee]

[@aspenwinter6274]
