BIOGRAPHY: [1950-] Cousin of Chuck JACKSON-Born in Greenville, South Carolina. Black soul/funk singer who started as a gospel singer. Ann married saxophone player Melvin Burton (who later played saxophone in Moses Dillard's band) and they moved from gospel to secular club playing with their focus by 1970 towards soul and funk music. In 1971, Ann Sexton was spotted by songwriter David Lee who recorded a soul number titled "You're Letting Me Down" / "You've Been Gone Too Long" on the tiny Impel label and it didn't go anywhere. She then signed with John R's Seventy-Seven Record label who re-released "You've Been Gone Too Long" in 1972. Ann Sexton released six 45's in total for the Seventy-Seven label including "You're Gonna Miss Me" in 1973 and the funk number "You're Losing Me" in 1974 which was coupled with the soulful ""Love, Love, Love".
