What a sad, sad ending to a career that was headed for the stratosphere. I still love Jackie Wilson, Mr Excitement, to this very day!

    It's difficult to compare him to anyone around today. His voice was powerful and beautiful. He presented his songs with unique energy and power. Alone at Last, Lonely Teardrops. No one tries to present these songs today, because Jackie Wilson's style was, and still is, incomparable. You had to see him to recognize what a huge talent he was, making it seem like everyone else was light years behind him.

      Jackie was never with Motown. He was signed to Brunswick, a subsidiary of Decca. He does have a Motown connection by way of Berry Gordy Jr., founder of Motown. Gordy wrote most of Wilsons early hits before founding his own label, Motown Records in Detroit. Read Gordy's autobiography To Be Loved for the whole story.

    A great, great performer who should have gone onto bigger things.
    Elvis was a big admirer. He paid for Jackie's medical bills after he
    collapsed onstage. He also sent roses to his hospital bed to celebrate
    his birthday. At the peak of his powers, JW was unbeatable.
    James Brown hated him. That speaks volumes.

    Yes, even in the UK he is still revered. The same folks who created Wallace & Gromit, did a Cartoon Video with "Reet Petite" written by Future Owner Of Motown Records Berry Gordy. Then there was a beautiful Video to "I've Got The Sweetest Feeling" and Will Young The Very "First" Pop Idol in The UK sang it during the competition. Cheryl Ann Tweedy formerly of The UK Group Girls Aloud danced to "Reet Petite" to promote A Dance Show The Greatest Dancer in the tradition of "World Of Dance". Co-Incidentally Chris Hough was her Partner on Strictly Come Dancing (The UK Equivalent Of Dancing With The Stars), and Kimberly Walsh her Best Mate and former Band Member sang with Ne-Yo a couple of years ago on a UK TV Show.

    I use to be at the Apollo theatre every time Jackie was there
    Watched all 5 shows. Did y’all know he could’ve been an opera singer too? The Apollo was charging $2.25 back in those days. Plus you could leave in between shows and come back , no extra charge!

    Jackie Wilson and Elvis Presley. See the similarities. Elvis use to go and watch Jackie perform. They became very good friends, in fact so close that Elvis paid Jackie's hospital and funeral expenses because the recording company that Jackie signed with very early in his career stole and robbed him of all of his money. Elvis was being robbed by people in his organization as well, so he understood about his friend's finances. It is not a contest between these two, they appreciated each others gift.
