MY GOSPEL SOUL

Jennice Jackson I am a woman of many gifts.   Artist, Singer, Songwriter, Poet, Talk Show Host, Hairstylist, and the list goes on.  I am a twin and was born to Billy and Tessra Cook in Atlanta, TX.  My brothers and sisters and I grew up between Atlanta, Dallas, and settled in Houston, TX.  Even as a little girl in East Texas I dreamed of being a singer or someone famous.  Even though very athletic, my favorite thing to do was to sing.  I song on the school bus, in church, at the softball field, during recess and even in my grandfathers old shed.  I can still remember the first Song I wrote, “That man is the man I want.”  Now being raised in the church,” COCIC” District meetings, musicals, and other programs gave me a foundation to start from.  I led songs like “Yes Lord” and song solos like “Down on my knees and Is it Well with my Soul!”  Every time I think about I can still hear the old piano leading me in to the chorus.  “Down on my knees, when trouble rise I talk to Jesus beyond the skies, He promise me, he’d hear my plea, if I would tell him down on my knees.”  Those were the days!
