I was a manager for ASCAP there's an old saying in the business that Jackie Wilson was the black Elvis Presley. The people that really know music say no no no, Elvis Presley was the white Jackie Wilson. Rock in Peace, Mr. excitement. ( I saw Jackie perform live in Cleveland Ohio at Leo's casino)
Listening to this story for a second time, you presented it so well. Looking forward to hearing lots more! Well done....he was a real legend, for covering up the truth to save her.
The Man was Gifted with that Unique Voice but Life itself gave him one too many unpleasant gifts. Talk about a case of if it wasn't 4 bad luck He wouldn't have any luck at all.... :{
I've been listening to Jackie Wilson over and over for a few years now including today and that was before I saw this clip because his voice is AWESOME. Thank you for this information I didn't realise he went through so much turmoil. You said it he was done wrong. 😥
His manager Nat Tarnapol went to prison for criminal activity. He was paid a salary of $250,000 per year and received no royalties for his music. Berry Gordy did the same with his artists at Motown who got salaries but no royalties. He said seeing Elvis made him decide to be a solo artist and here on RUclips there’s a video of him telling a disc jockey that if he had his job , he’d play only Elvis records as their friendship helped him greatly in his career. He and Sam Cooke toured together and both were huge supporters of Elvis. Sam reportedly once told Jackie, “ people keep saying Elvis learned how to sing like that from black people, that’s not true, he may have been influenced by us but he learned to sing that way the same way I did……in church “ ! The new Elvis movie confirms this !
I'm sorry to say this but: The way AI see it Jackie mad a pack with THE DEVIL HIMSELF. The DEVIL offered him a deal and he thankfully excepted it. What was the deal: "I'll make YOU JACKIE the best ENTERTAINER of the day; I'll give you A VOICE, a STAGE ACT, GIRLS, FAME, ADMIRATION and WEALTH. One this ONE CONDITION: YOU HAND ME YOUR BRAINS UNCONDITIONALLY1 And Jackie accepted the deal. That is how AI see the HISTORY of JACKIE WILSON!!... Feel Free To Correct Me!!
A Devil manager sold his contract to more murdering devils [ The Mob ] more then Likely for a debt owed That the Devil manager Owed, the lesson that is learned here is Never get involved With a Bunch of Devils That will use you to your Death... Now correct me if I'm wrong 😐
THE DEVIL HIMSELF ARE PEOPLE ON EARTH. JACKIES MISTAKE WAS HE WAS TOO TRUSTING. DESPITE ALL THE DOWNSIDES, REMEMBER THE AMAZING VOICE, HIS CHARISMA, PERSONALITY AND THE WAY HE MOVED ONSTAGE. LETS LINGER ON THE UPSIDE OF HIS LIFE AND NOT THE DOWNSIDE. I LISTEN TO JACKIE EVERY DAY, AND HE ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE AND FEEL GOOD ❤ LOVE FROM ENGLAND TO JACKIE WILSON ❤
Perhaps. If the devil is man. Financially, simplistically and sadly, he got taken advantage of and many dominoes t I mbled from there. RIP Mr. Excitement. A voice and act for the ages.
JACKIE WILSON was an amazing talent and no one would say otherwise.
It's a shame that many music fans don't know about Jackie. He influenced many artists and is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Surely
I envied him for that clean beautiful voice he had, miss him so bad....rest in peace my brother!
RIP. A GREAT SINGER & a FANTASTIC DANCER❤❤❤❤
,SUCH A SAD SAD STORY RIP ,BRILLIANT VOICE

My favorite singer of all time I remember he fell at the Latin Casino Cherry Hill NJ Sept 1975
My Grandma loved her some Jackie Wilson. She's the reason I know about him.
Worlds greatest tenor ever!
I miss his sweet voice bless you
Not only did Elvis admire Jackie, so did young Michael Jackson, who learned from Jackie and James Brown, how to command a stage.
4 real !!!
Very complete. Excellent effort was put into this.
Amen!

So many groups and singers that we never knew about!

Love Jackie!❤ Fav music ever!

I admired Jackie as a child. This is so sad to hear.
A True Legend😊

Nat never went to prison.
@@willhoward982 yes he did, look it up. Was prosecuted for racketeering, sent to prison !
@@SuperBeachbum74 he was convicted, the conviction was overturned.
@@willhoward982 ok, thanks for update ! The guy deserved no sympathy !
@@SuperBeachbum74 I’ll definitely agree with that.
Mi idolo me encanta infinitamente en mi corazon ❤️❤️😊😊
I REMEMBER. My Prodege
The narrating is great, I wonder have she ever thought about adding a little light background music to bring mystique to the stories🤔
Kadoma epson always mookane kukotana like james brown.
Your presentation is very controlled and concise.Thanks for these stories.
@@redslarge7117 Welcome.
Elvis paid all Jackie’s hospital bills!!
Him and Dick Clark. Michael Jackson paid for his funeral. RIP
The cocaine and the loss of his kids explains his sudden heart attack. 😢
Jackie Wilson also said he copied moves from Elvis as much .
No, he did not!
@@benjamintaylor4402 yes he did, recorded in his bio. “ The Black Elvis “ !

Indeed
A Devil manager sold his contract to more murdering devils
[ The Mob ] more then
Likely for a debt owed
That the Devil manager
Owed, the lesson that is learned here is Never get involved
With a Bunch of Devils
That will use you to your Death...
Now correct me if I'm wrong 😐
