     One of the most interesting and enigmatic cult figures of 1960s folk,
     Jackson C. Frank's reputation rests almost solely upon one hard-to-find
     album from the mid-'60s. A stronger composer than a singer, he nonetheless
     had an appreciable influence on many more famous performers of the decade,
     including Paul Simon, Sandy Denny, and Nick Drake.
     Trauma and misfortune dogged Frank throughout his life. At the age of 11, a
     fire in his elementary school killed many of his classmates, and left him
     with burns over most of his body. He eventually recovered and learned to
     play the guitar, and hung around the early-'60s New York coffeehouse scene
     with John Kay, later of Steppenwolf. A large insurance settlement enabled
     him to travel to England after he turned 21, and it was there that he made
     most of his impact.
     Frank shared a London flat with fellow American expatriates Paul Simon and
     Art Garfunkel, who were briefly based there in the mid-'60s prior to their
     first hit, "The Sounds of Silence." Simon, then a struggling folk
     singer/songwriter himself, was impressed enough to produce Frank's
     self-titled album, released in the U.K. only. While Frank's voice was
     tremulously earnest, the quality of the compositions was often impressive,
     with a reflective, melancholic air that most likely influenced Simon, Al
     Stewart (who made his recording debut on one of the LP's tracks, "Yellow
     Walls"), and Nick Drake (who covered one of the songs, "Here Come the
     Blues," on late-'60s home tapes that have been extensively circulated as a
     bootleg).
     Frank's album was well-received in British folk circles, and several of his
     songs made their way into the repertoire of his friend Sandy Denny, who
     recorded a couple, "Milk and Honey" and "You Never Wanted Me," on her own
     debut LP. (She also recorded a version of "You Never Wanted Me" with
     Fairport Convention, and a 1966 demo of "Blues Run the Game" appears on her
     Dark the Night bootleg.) Frank, however, was unable to come up with a
     similar quality of material for a follow-up. This, combined with stage
     fright, depression, and an end of the funds from the insurance settlement
     that had enabled him to travel in high style, meant that he returned to the
     States in 1969 without releasing another album.
     Based in Woodstock, New York, Frank continued his songwriting, but family
     and depression problems resulted in homelessness by the mid-'70s. For most
     of the next two decades, Frank lived on the streets or hospitals, too
     discouraged to contact old friends and family. He was further hobbled by
     arthritis, inappropriate medication for his mental problems, and a shooting
     incident that left him legally blind in his left eye. In the mid-'90s, a
     sympathetic folk fan, Jim Abbott, helped Frank regroup from his setbacks by
     helping him gain more appropriate medical assistance and settle back in
     Woodstock, where he resumed songwriting, and occasionally performed. A 1995
     profile in Dirty Linen magazine effectively "rediscovered" the missing
     legend, and legendary vintage recordings were finally issued on CD in 1996.
     Stricken with pneumonia, Jackson C. Frank died in March 1999 after a heart
     attack; he was 56 years old.
