And 43 people decided to click on 'dislike' because...??? This is an absolute peach of a tune, it STILL give me goosebumps. It keeps on giving; great sentiment, awesome delivery... just bloody perfect.
I never found this gem until a year ago or so, my dad god rest him, had a early 70's greatest hits album which i grew up with, so i feel i grew up with jackie wilson, what a lucky lad i was.
When "The Great" Jackie Wilson was at the top of his game (late 50's) he was, IMHO, the best showman to take the stage, without exception. He made that Christmas 1958 gift from my folks (I was 11) ~ an Admiral 7 transistor radio ~ just that much more special. R.I.P. Jackie Wilson; I can only hope, in another time & place, to hear your music and watch your performance.
WOW 😲 what an A.N.G.E.L. The DEFINITIVE voice of the LEGENDRY mighty soul singer J.A.C.K.I.E. W.I.L.S.O.N. Was never to be forgotten Ktf LOVE N/S forever ❤ ❤ ❤
Saw the Great Jackie Wilson & 8 Peice Brass section live @ Hawkstone Shropshire 16yrs old fab NIGHT then had his med prob on his return to USA ...RIP JACKIE LOVE YOU NEVA FORGOT THAT EVENT ...
I started listening to contemporary popular music, 24/7, after mom & dad bought me my first transistor radio in 1958 and "The Great" Jackie Wilson instantly became one of my favorites with songs like Lonely Teardrops, Reet Petite, To Be Loved and (later) Baby Work Out and HIgher and Higher. The last years of Jackie's life were a sad story with his 1975 heart attack and subsequent coma which lasted until his death, at age 49, in 1984, but I will always remember Jackie and his wonderful music.
We just been to talk of the coast Benidorm northern soul venue and when this came on I just stood up took to the dance on my own god I when back 50yrs one of the best . Then stayed there for five hours Had to forget about touching the floor
One of my alltime greats, jackie wilson not only had a pure soul voice but his moves would put james brown to shame. Mr. Wilson you are a true legend...R.I.P....KTF!
Mom & dad bought me a 7 transistor radio for Christmas of 1958. I was 11 and from that moment on I listened to L.A. radio station KFWB/AM every waking moment. Jackie Wilson soon became one of my favorites. He was such a terrific showman, I will forever remember Jackie's songs on my little green & white Admiral radio. He was, really, "The Great" Jackie Wilson. R.I.P. Jackie Wilson
I agree other stand outs for is the deep soul gem "Go Away " and dancer "whatcha gonna do about love " Also you may love Jackie's album from around the same period "You Got Me Walking"
This rates as one of my all time favourites....northern....soul....great to dance to, brilliant to listen to...........what a classic...SOULFUL !!!!!!!Jules on the Gold Coast of AUs...ex Cats/Wigan girl ....
my good friend of more years than i care to remember .... Chris Fletcher first played this to me on a car park opposite Wigan Casino along with other tracks from Jackies "beautiful day " LP ....Chris if your reading this THANK YOU ...... one of the best LPs EVER
👍Just 8yrs. of age, that was the Jam back in that era and a Classic today 2019' That's what Real music once sounded like, nearly bringing you to tears or means of getting back with your man or lady😅😅 Thanks for Sharing!👍

The 170 poor lost souls who put their thumbs down are either tone deaf or worst still, they have not got a soul.😪😪😪😪😪
Totally agree, l could not have put it any better myself.
It is because of you, Jackie Wilson, that l love Northern Soul so much.

THE GREAT JACKIE WILSON. ONLY EVER MADE GOOD RECORDS AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST.
Naw...his best was a live show in front of a black audience
This record is stupendous.
This is truely an amazing track from Jackie Wilson, always packs the floor where ever it`s played.
For me the vocals at the beginning of this song are second to none i can see chairs emptying and dance floors filling this man is a soul god
He could sing the phone book, and it would still be good
Gary Fawcett well said dude
