DESCRIPTION:
Reverend Charlie Jackson performs "God's Got It" at a school assembly on "Restoring Lost History" at Northeast High School, probably in Zachary, Louisiana, during the 1990s. The recording quality is irregular but the performance is terrific, and this may be the only video documentation of Rev. Jackson performing at a secular, community-based event. Plus, he plays his guitar like a drum for a bit.

This footage is drawn from Rev. Jackson's archive and is offered here in conjunction with 50 Miles of Elbow Room's ongoing retrospective of his life and music. More information on the project, which includes LPs containing other live recordings from Rev. Jackson's collection, is here: http://www.50milesofelbowroom.com/artist/122-reverend-charlie-jackson.html
