Tony,

Millie Jackson was a relatively popular soul singer in the
mid-to-late 70s, she had an x-rated pro-woman style, sort of a
cross between Blowfly and Candi Staton. She started off doing
deep Southern soul, but had various flirtings with disco &
"quiet storm"-type stuff. She's now doing the "retro-soul"
thing, she's recorded a couple of albums for Ichiban in the 90s.

Spring Records was based in Nashville, I believe. They also
released stuff by Joe Simon, the Fatback Band, Isaac Hayes,
Winfield Parker & Gloria Gaynor.
