Emy Jackson (エミー・ジャクソン, born Emy Eaton, July 2, 1945) is a Japanese singer. She was born in Essex, England, to Japanese parents, and moved to Yokohama as a teenager.
As a teenager in Yokohama her ability to speak both English and Japanese fluently landed her a job as a youth DJ for the Good Hit Parade on Radio Kanto. In April 1965 her debut single Crying In A Storm was released. Jackson was promoted as a foreign artist.[1] The single peaked at #4 on the chart of foreign releases in Music Life and #6 on the Turn Table Top 50.[1] She is the first Japanese artist to have sold a million records singing in English.
Her initial recording career was very brief, consisting of eight singles released in 1965 and 1966, always with a ballad on one side and an uptempo pop song on the other.
She retired from the music business by 1973. In 1984 she released one single called "Cry Yokohama", and came out of retirement in the early 90s. She still performs today.
