Pervis Jackson
May 17, 1938 – August 18, 2008
Pervis Jackson was an original member of ’60s R&B vocal group, the Spinners. He was known for his rich baritone voice on such hits as “They Just Can’t Stop It (Games People Play)” and “One Of A Kind (Love Affair).” He continued to sing with the group until just one month prior to his death from cancer. He was 70 years old.

I had the privilege to work with Pervis Jackson as the recording engineer and mixer for the Spinners’ grammy award nominated “Love Trippin'” album, back in 1980. He was a gentleman and a professional then and always, and I would like to extend my deep regret to the whole Spinners’ family for his passing. He will be missed by many.
