An accomplished keyboard player and vocalist, Kristy Jackson, a BMI
award winning songwriter and publisher, in attempting to
put into words her personal pain and pride in her country in the aftermath of
September 11, wrote a song that ended up touching the world when her song, “Little Did She Know (She’d Kissed A Hero)”
found its way to radio and became the #1 most requested song on the
largest radio stations in New York city (PLJ, BLI, WALK, WLTW, etc.) and other
major markets in the fall of 2001.

in every state of the US as well as England, Sweden, Japan, South Bogota,
Taiwan, Ireland, Italy, Germany, South America, Puerto Rico, British West
Indies, Israel, Mexico, UK, Canada and it exploded in Australia.

charities to date. The limited edition CD is available
