Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954, Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy nominations span 1979 to 2001. He is probably best-known for the 1978 hit song “Is She Really Going Out with Him?”, which still gets extensive FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, “Steppin’ Out”; and for his 1984 success with, “You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)”.
Along with Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, Jackson was a part of the trio of British based artists who challenged the punk scene and brought a New Wave sound to theUnited States in the late 1970s. He was popular for his power-pop and new wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical musical pieces.

Back to the alphabet today. Initially thought of the go-go’s, then changed my mind when I realized that one of my favorites started with a G. Genesis in paperback format.
