Rollin' Dice is the only studio album released by soul artist Jimmy Jackson, released in 1976 by Buddah Records. The album had many notable artists, such as Dick Hyde, Gene Page, Henry Davis of L.T.D., Roland Bautista, King Errison, and Ray Parker Jr. involved in its creation. Session players also include Melvin Ragin and Bobbye Hall, both of whom played on numerous recordings for Motown during the late 1960s and 1970s.[2][3]
Release
Even with the support of three singles, upon release, the album failed to chart. Jimmy Jackson is not known to have made another album after this one, making the album his sole effort.
