Jackson C. Frank is, in a sense, yet another doomed composite rock (cum-folk) star. He burned out, faded away - died destitute and largely forgotten, but not quite forgotten. He recorded one album, produced by Paul Simon, and it's a cracker; however, for some reason the album cover (which I have reproduced in haphazard fashion here) is the most interesting part, at least insofar as Jackson's looks and proud stance remind me very much of Rodin's statue of the French playwright Balzac.
