His first album, 1990's "Here in the Real World," was a major hit, as was his second album "Don't Rock the Jukebox." His 1992 release, "A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout Love)" was a smash success, spawning five major singles with "Chattahoochee" being the most enduring and successful. After a few more hit albums, Jackson again rocketed to fame with "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a song about the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It became a hit single and briefly propelled him into the mainstream spotlight.
