Joe Offer	ADD: Jackson (Jerry Leiber & Billy Edd Wheeler) (21)	RE: ADD: Jackson (Jerry Leiber & Billy Edd Wheeler)	09 Sep 24
Which Jackson? I always thought it was Jackson, Michigan. Wikipedia says lyricist Billy Edd Wheeler had no particular Jackson in mind, but many performers insist it was Jackson, Tennessee. Quoting from Wikipedia: There has been much speculation regarding which city of Jackson the song is about, but Wheeler said: "Actually, I didn’t have a specific Jackson in mind. I just liked the sharp consonant sound, as opposed to soft-sounding words like Nashville." Though Wheeler had no particular Jackson in mind when writing the song, some subsequent singers have specified Jackson, Tennessee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_(song)
