January 28, 2016The vocalist Gennine Jackson Francis gives an "Emmy Award" performance leaving her guests
with a great feeling and the thought of "WOW" "Her voice is AMAZING"!! I have planned vacations around Francis' schedule and traveled 100s of miles just to attend her performances.
Lastly, I wanted my family, friends, and co-workers to hear the phenomenon voice of Gennine and booked her for the Los Angeles Fire Department event and I am happy to say that she was marvelous. We all had a great time

I am a California native born and raised in Compton. My musical history stems back to the age of eight when my sisters and I had a pop singing group (The Jacksonics). What started out as a dare (from the local boys who initially had a sing/dance group every summer), ended up with us being noticed at one of several Talent Shows we entered that summer. After being “discovered” we were given the opportunity of a lifetime by entering the world of entertainment. We then went from “The Jacksonics,” to “The Jackson Sisters”
We performed at places as small as night clubs rapidly climbing the ladder to venues such as Mavericks Flat and then further still to The Fabulous Forum, the Hollywood Paladium, the Aumondson Theatre and more. We moved further still to television where we appeared on Soul Train, 90 Tonight (A special with Bob Bailey), A Couple of Dons (Don Rickles & Don Adams), telethons, and more.
We were blessed to perform/tour with some of the greatest: Billy Paul, Bill Cosby, Eddie Kendricks, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Three Dog Night, The Pointer Sisters, The Whispers, The Manhattans, Sisters Sledge, The Silvers, and many more. During our short career, we managed to release two single recordings, “Why Can’t We Be (More Than Friends)” and “I Believe In Miracles, which is still being heavily played at the local spots in Europe and Japan. Since as far back as 1990, several CD’s & records/albums of “I Believe In Miracles” have been re-released and are being sold via the internet.
The Here and Now
September 2001 launched the re-establishment of my career as a performer. Thus far I have completed five CDs and am currently working on number six. My nightly venues past and present are: The Desert Springs Marriott Resort & Spa, Palm Desert; The Hyatt Regency Suites, Palm Springs, Wangs In The Desert, Palm Springs, Azul, Palm Springs; The Falls Steak House, La Quinta; The Falls Steak House, Palm Springs; Blame It on Midnight, Palm Springs; Da Vinci’s, Beverly Hills; Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa, Rancho Mirage; Jazzy Accents, Temecula; The St. Regis Resort & Spa, Laguna Niguel; The Sunset Room, Hacienda Heights;
