Joe Jackson

Edward Bear. David 'Joe' Jackson, Mark Andrews, Dave Houghton and Graham Maby. The Joe Jackson Band, Joe, Dave Houghton, Graham Maby and Gary Sandford Joe Jackson is a musician and singer-songwriter living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. Born: August 11, 1954 in Burton upon Trent Compositions include Steppin' Out, Is She Really Going Out with Him?, and many more Movies: The Greatest Game Ever Played Awards: Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album Career Born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, David Jackson (as he was then known) grew up in Portsmouth in the Paulsgrove area and he attended the City of Portsmouth Boys' School. His parents later moved to Gosport when he was a teenager. He initially learned to play the violin but soon switched to piano and prevailed on his dad to install one in the hall of their Paulsgrove council house. From the age of 16, he played in bars, and won a scholarship to study musical composition at London's Royal Academy of Music. Jackson's first band, in Gosport, was Edward Bear (not to be confused with the 1970s Canadian band fronted by Larry Evoy). The band was later renamed Edwin Bear and later Arms and Legs, but dissolved in 1976 after two unsuccessful singles. Is there anymore wine. She'll surprise you Heat of the night Janie Although he was still known as David Jackson while in Arms & Legs, it was around this time that Jackson picked up the nickname "Joe", based on his perceived resemblance to the puppet character Joe 90. He then spent some time in the cabaret circuit, to make money to record his own demos. In particular he played at the Playboy Club in Osborne Road Southsea, during the late 1970's. His later years are well documented, but we in Pompey claim him as one of us. Joe Jackson born August 11, 1954
