One additional small detail about the recognition that Jackson C. Frank received: he became widely known among fans of folk and acoustic music throughout Europe when his signature song "Blues Run the Game" was included in the 1975 4 LP box set "Electric Muse: The Story of Folk into Rock." Sadly, a 1990's CD version of the same name no longer included that song. Everybody who heard "Blues Run the Game" back then was blown away by it, and it was played a lot at open mics and similar occasions. Inevitably, every performer would then ask the audience, "Does anybody know what happened to Jackson C. Frank?" Every once in a while, someone would have some little anecdote, like having lived in a hippie commune in an old castle in Scotland where Jackson C. Frank had passed through, but nobody knew where he was. It wasn't until the arrival of the Internet and Wikipedia that the mystery was finally solved. But by then it was, of course, too late to bring him back to Europe.
