Jackson was caught up in the middle of baseball's most infamous scandal, the 1919 World Series, or, as history recalls it, the "Black Sox" scandal.
As Jackson pointed out, he did his best to win, and his series record obviously bears out his claim: He batted.375, had 13 hits, (one of which was taken away by one of the scorers), threw out five baserunners, fielded 1000%, and, handled thirty chances in the OF with no errors.
Don Gropman maintains in his biography of Joe Jackson was a dupe of his Black Sox teammates, and a victim of the insidious Charles Comiskey.

The first blush of his emergence fading, Jackson was beginning to be viewed by critics as the third in a line of angry British singer/songwriters starting with Graham Parker and continuing with Elvis Costello, and his commercial success created resentment, especially because he was not as forthcoming with the media as the garrulous Costello.
Jackson returned to the studio and emerged in March 1984 with Body & Soul, an album with a cover photograph showing him clutching a saxophone in the style of the 1950s LP covers of Blue Note Records.
