Today would've been the 75th birthday of original MTV VJ J.J. Jackson. Jackson was one of the first MTV VJs along with Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, Martha Quinn, and Mark Goodman. I never watched much MTV but from the clips I've seen, Jackson seemed like a cool dude who knew his stuff but I'll always remember him for hosting the segment where KISS took the makeup off on September 18, 1983. Sadly, he passed away on St. Patrick's Day 2004 which prevented him from reuniting with the other original VJs on Sirius Satellite Radio.
