    My compliments to the uploader.....I admire your positive appreciation of Jackie Wilson.
    As a former NYC recording engineer in the late 1960s ; I was fortunate to become friends with Jackie Wilson.....and as you accurately stated in this video, Jackie Wilson was a great and legendary recording artist and extraordinary on stage performer .
    In my my opinion the most talented and gifted rock and roll and rhythm blues recording artist that ever lived....period .
    Sincerely Mike Vallen .

      @@gladysross1163 yes, and the Demon is called PAIN. When people have PAIN they self-medicate. I suspect what you are calling "demonic" is just the effects of substance abuse. Look at the homeless on the streets. Are they demon-possessed or just on drugs? A person on drugs can certainly appear demon-possessed but alas... it is the effects of chemicals on the brain.

      The very ugly side of show business that still exists today. Crooks and vultures who run the companies and steal from their singers. Now these days it’s the rappers who are blatantly murdered. Jackie Wilson like Frankie Lyman had too many woman who had children for him and now fighting over his estate. Entertainers need to be careful hooking up with these many woman because they too got their own reasons to want to get next to them. Jackie Wilson was the ultimate singer and entertainer.

You also set the record straight on many things. So great kudos to you.
    There are so great videos on CZcams of so many performers and for Jackie, the one that stands out to me is him singing and dancing to Baby Workout on ABC's Shindig program. Oh man! Incredible strong and unique voice. Great dancer. Dynamic stage presence and all around entertainer. I'm sorry I never got to see him in person as I'm a little younger than those who came to love him and see him in person. My loss. And the tragedy of his being deceived and taken advantage of, which no doubt was a significant contributor to his health issue and ultimately his passing, just so sad and all of our losses that we could not enjoy him live for more decades.

      To really appreciate his voice , check out his live performances of DANNY BOY,
      He quite simply owns the song, like no one before.........or since.

    I've heard different stories about how Jackie Wilson had died but I think it was Nat Turnapaugh who had Jackie Wilson killed due to Jackie Wilson finally getting wise of being ripped off Nat Turnapaugh

    That music business is as cutthroat as it gets. Lots of brothers and sisters were chewed up by it. Terrible the way he had to spend his final years.

    Thank you for bringing this to to us 💖 I have no idea he had such a sad ending😢 it's horrible about all the fighting over the money 💰 I do hope that his family did look after him in the nursing home but you do wonder 🤔 Jackie Wilson was such a star 🌟 and he's a star in the sky shining bright🌟

    Jackie was a smooth cat back in his hey days, with a smooth voice to match. I had no idea he was related to Levi Stubb of the Four Tops but is quite shocked to hear of the allegations made by Patty Labelle as Jackie doesn't seem the kind of dude to result to sexually assaulting any woman, being the ladies' man he was. The name Mr. Excitement definitely fits his character as one of the greatest performers of that era. The movie "Coming to America" uses one of Jackie's songs "To be Loved" which is one of his well-known top hits. His money problems due to mismanagement and the last years of his life were so sad and heartbreaking. I always say a biopic movie should be done on this great artist. Hopefully someone will make that happen. Much love to you Jackie, R.I.P

    Even though he was playing the oldies circuit on that album he had updated his style to the mid 70s.

    Incredibly sad story. I notice little was said of drug or alcohol abuse, He looked consistently in good shape in this video. So what drug contributed to the heart attack or was it just the cigs? Great video, but I would also have liked to know why he never left Brunswick for Motown, or did I just miss that part?. He obviously knew Berry Gordy who wrote Reet Petite.. The photos in this video just tear your heart out. Great work!

    • @autumnsmom1117
      @autumnsmom1117 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I saw a play about Jackie Wilson some years ago. In a scene it showed how Berry Gordy was starting Motown and wanted Jackie Wilson to join, but his recording company made promises to him and he stayed. Sadly, they didn't come true. That famous window scene in The Five Heartbeats was really regarding him.

    Can you just imagine how many performers we could cancel by claims of stealing styles, moves, techniques? 90% of female singers imitate Madonna. Pop culture controls what people like and dont , Pretty much every UK performer claimed that they were inspired by Elvis. I’ve always understood most Black performers respected and liked Elvis. We all know where and how he grew up. True that most thought Elvis was black when first hearing him but many black performers of that time said Elvis opened doors for them as the entire genre benefited.
