R&B singer Millie Jackson, the daughter of a sharecropper, is born in Thomson. It is said that a dare to enter a 1964 Harlem Nightclub talent contest kick-started her career in music. Following a string of recordings for MGM Records, Jackson began a long relationship with Spring Records leading to her first charting single, 1971’s “A Child of God (It’s Hard to Believe)”. A year later Jackson received her first top ten single “Ask Me What You Want”.
