\"\"Gary Jackson was one of the most prolific entertainment writers in Hollywood.\u00a0 With an emphasis on music, Jackson, who often vacillated from writer to senior chief editor, wielded his mighty pen at a number of prestigious entertainment magazines including\u00a0Billboard, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, HITS Magazine, ICE Magazine,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Urban Network.<\/em><\/p>\n

An avid writer, Jackson, who loved what he did for a living, worked in earnest to pen more than 100 biographies and liner notes on key music industry stars including Stevie Wonder, Public Enemy, Cowboy Nation, Max Roach, General Public, and many more.<\/p>\n
