Terry Jacks

This guy...I still don't know how to take him. It was rumored that "Seasons in the sun" was a suicide note and that he killed himself shortly after releasing it. To assure you that was totally fabricated I am showing a video of him in 2008. He still sounds good.
In the late 1970s Jacks married Margaret Zittier and gradually withdrew from the music world. The couple had a daughter, Holly Michelle Jacks, in 1985 and Jacks became involved in the environmental movement, focusing on pulp mill pollution issues in Canada. Jacks' environmental work has earned him several awards including one from the United Nations and the Western Canada Wilderness Committee. He has worked in documentary film and video, producing several shorts on environmental themes including The Tragedy of Clearcutting, The Southern Chilcotin Mountains and The Warmth of Love (The Four Seasons of Sophie Thomas). The video production The Faceless Ones earned an Environmental Gold Award from the New York International Film Festival.

In 1996, Jacks released the CD, A Good Thing Lost 1968-1973, a collection of The Poppy Family songs. Jacks' second marriage ended in 2001. He lives in Pender Harbour, British Columbia, and still does the occasional performance.
