Jackie led a tumultuous life. He was shot and lost a kidney. Some of his children died young. At his peak the avg American was earning 5k per year. He was making 265k per year which led him to IRS problems. He charted over 50 hit singles and 6 reached the top ten. One of the great early soul singers to emerge on the scene.
I did not know any of this. Wow
thank you
"Shoobie doobie Bop Bop" and "Doo oo wop wop" started here... listen to the background.
My favorite Jackie Wilson tune. But man this guy was such a master showman! His vocals and foot moves were electrifying. Elvis absolutely loves Jackie too. Glad to see this one.
Elvis paid for his nursing home and funeral.
Elvis was talking about Jackie (in The Million Dollar Quartet) how he saw this guy singing Don't Be Cruel and phrased the word "tel-e-phone". Elvis when he was on Ed Sullivan show, used Jackie's phrasing as he sung don't be cruel.
Robbie Bankens Elvis said Jackie was the black Elvis and Elvis was the white Jackie.
@@sondyhowellweber1474 He may have paid for his nursing care, but not his funeral..Jackie Wilson died in 1984 and he was broke..other people paid for his funeral expenses..he didn't have a headstone for years..there is one now.
You can definitely see Jackie's influence on Elvis when he did "Return To Sender" in the film "Girls! Girls! Girls!". Watch the way Elvis is dancing in that clip!! Straight up Jackie Wilson!!
Ghostbusters II. "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me" was the song they used to counteract the effects of the "mood slime".
Baby Work out by Jackie Wilson
This brotha was a vocal phenomenon the power and range he had in his voice was crazy.
Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke. Quite possibly the 2 best voices EVER!!!
Yes indeed, Sam Cooke was smooth.
JW sang best version of Danny Boy.
Great, but Elvis and Roy Orbison are the greatest
Don't forget little richard
EdwardVan Leppard ..."thrills me so I do a back over flip"
One of the best singers of all time.
That's why he was called "Mr. Excitement"! My man wasn't dancing he was FLOATING and FLYING!. All that, while his singing was vibrating, swirling, comin' down ...almost landing ... skimmin' the ground ... then back up towards the heavens! As somebody else said ya gotta listen to HIGHER AND HIGHER ... huge hit. Then like ur follower Poobear said in all the words that were needed: Otis Redding's TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS. From one of the best albums ever recorded OTIS REDDING --- BLUE.
He was one of the best
He was incredible! I don't know how a human can move like that, LOL! And that voice!
My idol of all time "thats why they callrd him Mr Excitement.....jackie where ver you are now ...will nrver forget you...
He had a soaring tenor. His voice was out there on a precipice; no one else in pop music had a voice that can compare.
Talk about your vocal riffs and runs!! No one today comes close. Voice as smoothe as silk. And those moves, man! Lordy!!
Your love keeps lifting me higher ? By jackie. Could be the one you have heard.
the song he is looking for was done in the movie Christine and the song was baby workout Julie
Fantastic song by Wilson and by Rita Coolidge.
It was also in the Ghostbusters 2 in the Statue Of Liberty scene
Yes, that's what I'm thinking, too, Julie.
Yes! Higher and Higher--my favorite of his!
He had such a pure and beautiful tenor voice, and yes,the moves to go along with it!! ❤👋👍
It was in La Bamba that you probably heard his voice. He sang this very song on stage right before Ritchie Valens went onstage.
Howard Huntsberry played Jackie in La Bamba and its Howards voice you hear in the movie also not Jackies
What about the movie The Commitments?
That's right I watched the movie about Buddy Holly and they toured together in the 1950s I think it was someone who played Sam Cooke Paul Mooney but anyway it was good movie found it on cable
Might have been Dirty Dancing many great songs from 50s and early 60s
The guy who did the Jackie Wilson imitation actually sounds like Jackie. Said himself "that's just my own voice."
I like Jackie Wilson. He could dance and sing.and I like that song.
Jackie was Golden Gloves boxer. And used to play the chitterling circuit along with a lot of black artists. one night the cops took a bus load of performers into the woods or some lonely spot robbed them all , Jackie was the only one who had anything to say about it and got a real good beating for his troubles . Not long after this Ray Charles refused to play to segragated audiences, and couldn't play in Georgia for years. Until Georgia apologised and made Rays song their state song. Other songs from Jackie you would love are . I get the sweetest feeling, to be loved , the up tempo song I think you are talking about is Reet Petite. If you review Elvis return to sender (the movie clip) Elvis is singing in a bar and Jackie is in the audience with his back to the camera. Also there was a dance called the jerk which was also called do the Jackie Wilson, he had a four octave range and was known as mr excitement.
Thank you for posting this comment. This was the real life experience of many black Americans and for many black Americans, it still is. American Bandstand gave us a controlled view of black American vocalists. I really appreciate hearing the back story that pull back the curtain on how Jim Crow and the recording industry kept black Americans in their place.
Jackie and James Brown are the men that Michael Jackson study to get his own stage performance.
You beat me to it. Just goes to show how talented they were if the King of Pop looked to them for his inspiration.
Probably Elvis also.
Absolutely. The slurred "Come on" @3:10 always seemed to me like a possible source for Michael's later, 'shammon'. Just a thought.
@@colkidglen8802 Yes, you are right. Elvis credited Jackie with influencing his stage show and he admired him.
greymattervandal no he got it from The Staple Singers lead
Elvis was friends and admired Jackie Wilson if u Google to be loved the vidio its a beautiful song.Jackie voice is something.
Right!
@@suetaylor9637 They were good friends. The story goes that Jackie was singing this song when he had a heart attack on stage. His brain was deprived of oxygen and never fully recovered. Elvis helped pay his medical bills. He has a son that looks and sounds like him. He has many videos on here.
Sam Cooke 'Bring It On Home to Me'
Jackie Wilson could sing anything and get into your soul.
***MRM*** The Jackie Wilson Song You're Thinking of is Called ---> ("Your love is lifting me") aka "HIGHER AND HIGHER"
Jackie Wilson was one of Elvis' biggest influences, check out "Reet Petite". Along with the great Roy Hamilton, influenced Elvis' whole style.
It was mutual. His first record was given an Elvis-style treatment. Later that year, Elvis saw him as a member of Billy Ward's Dominoes. Elvis already knew Billy Ward personally. Elvis went crazy for this guy! Well, they met and it was a mutual admiration society for the rest of their lives. When Jackie had his eventual fatal circulatory collapse about a year before Elvis died, Elvis paid Jackie's medical bills.
After that, Michael Jackson did so. Jackie Wilson meant a lot to Michael when he was a little kid. He idolized him.
I don't know what song you're thinking of because they were all wonderful. Berry Gordy wrote Jackie's material, but did not sign him to Motown. I don't know what went wrong there, but it was terrible for Jackie's career. He should have been a much bigger star and Motown would have provided that opportunity.
@@RobinMarkowitzcoolmedia you're right. Wilson has said he was influenced by Presley. He also said, "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis." ~ Jackie Wilson
@@39thala Thank you.
dharmabum66 Elvis changed the way he performed “Don’t be Cruel”, after hearing Jackie Wilson sing it in Vegas in the 50s as a member of the Billy Ward& his Dominos.
@@jrh1118 He very much enjoyed Jackie's version. And he did try to put on what he called a "Yankee" accent on the Ed Sullivan show. He thought Wilson cut him on "Don't Be Cruel," but not on Hound Dog. And he LOVED what he saw in "them feets were going in and out." And Elvis became, in 1957, more of a dancer than a wiggler. Much later, they both could do each other.
Higher and Higher was in Ghostbusters 2, The guys were in the statue of liberty walking through NYC.
(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher was probably his most popular song and it was used beautifully in Ghostbusters 2. In Coming to America, Eddie Murphy sings another of Jackie Wilson's hits, To Be Loved, which has the most amazing vocals in it. While people certainly know and remember Jackie Wilson, I do think he gets overlooked when people think about great male vocalists of the era.
Though it's Jackie in the dancing toaster scene, it's Howard Huntsberry in the Statue scene. (Howard could impersonate Jackie so well that he plays him in the movie La Bamba.)
I'm so glad you're listening to all the old school soul, rock, and others. The tunes are used in a lot of new songs without people even knowing. We are losing our musical heritage. This helps more than you'll ever know.
Too many used in TV commercials because they are past the time of paying royalties. It bothers my ol' ass because it seems as if my teen music is bein' stolen. My gran'son has a rap song with a 60s Motown Girl Group in the background... he thought it was cool, he thought it was new.
What a great voice! And those dance moves! What memories this brings back...
Michael Jackson once said a lot of his moves were inspired by Jackie Wilson. This has been my all time favorite song since I was 15! Love it 😍
Beautiful voice.
The way he jumps off the top step into a full split..stays there..then lifts up out of the splits after a verse while keeping his voice smooth as butter...amazing
Watching this again reminds me that Jackie Wilson was (is) FANTASTIC! Check him out as lead
singer of Billy Ward & the Dominoes on "Stardust" (1957), or his greatest hits LP on Coral.
And yes, Elvis LOVED Jackie's voice. Almost operatic. Barry Gordy wrote "Lonely Teardrops",
took the money and started Motown Records! God bless you Tye.....
Another good Jackie Wilson one is “baby work out” another great video of his dance moves and it’s a lot more active so u can see what he can really do with his body and his voice god bless bro 🙏🏼💯🤙🏼 and I think the name of the song u have heard before might be “the who who song”
Baby Workout is the song from the movie starring Antonio Banderas the film is titled~”Take The Lead” ...2006, sung by the great Jackie Wilson!! 💓
Sam Cooke loved jackie so sad two of the greatest ever 😍❤️✌️🙏😪
Twistin' The Night Away - Sam Cooke
Lover Please - Clyde McPhatter
Pretty Little Angel Eyes - Curtis Lee
Any song by Sam Cooke. He had one of the smoothest voices I've ever heard.
@@edford1693 I'm not so sure about that. Don't know much about History. Don't know much Biology Don't know much about Science books. Don't know much about the French I took. etc. etc...What a Wonderful World!
Another good song by jackie is to be loved.and higher and higher.
One and only Jackie!!! Never forgotten!!!
Such a great voice. And the choreography, showmanship.
What a voice! I always felt I born too late to see these guys like Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, etc. But I am glad that I was born in a family who loved music and in a city (Philadelphia) where great music was created. My dad was a huge music fan who left me incredible records to listen to and love!
How de hell do y’all listen to this and not break into tears. The piece has EVERYTHING!
i do right now listening to him
50's, 60's was when I grew up listening. i was surprised when I realized how sad I was when I heard that Jackie had passed away. Surprised that, more than any other of those legendary singers, he hit me the hardest.
brings tears of joy to my eyes
The great Jackie Wilson and love this song. I also like it when singers move to the music
The song you're thinking of I think is "Baby Work Out.
This is my new favorite CZcams channel. This brother is number one in my book.
Jackie exudes class! His moves are STILL impressive! Before my time, it still a favorite!
Before setting out on a solo career, Jackie Wilson was the 2nd GREAT lead singer of the Billy Ward's Dominos, following Clyde McPhatter and preceding Gene Mumford. (actually, 17 different voices sang lead on at least one Dominoes release over the group's lifespan, but the three listed were the truly memorable ones). "Lonely Teardrops" was his biggest selling record and became his signature song for the rest of his career. It's the song that Wilson was singing when he had a heart attack on stage, while performing in a Dick Clark concert in 1975. He fell to the floor directly after singing the line, "My heart is crying." Since he was known for his on stage theatrics, the audience thought it part of the show and applauded. Cornell Gunter (a veteran of many West Coast vocal groups of the 50s and 60s) was with the Coasters at the time, and was watching from back stage. He was the first to realize that Wilson wasn't breathing, and rushed out to give him CPR. He was revived, but spent most of the next nine years drifting between comatose and "concious but unresponsive" states, until passing at the age of 49 in early 1984.
The first thing you notice is his unique, strong voice. Then it's the fact that he is singing a sad song but making you feel good at the same time. Then the women notice that the man has moves and can dance like no one else.
Higner and Higher by Jackie Wilson is him at his best, I think.
Mr. Excitement will always remain one of my favorite performers of the era. Sadly, he died at 49. I never got to see him in person but at least I've met his son, Bobby Brooks Wilson.
Love this song.I danced to this song many times Brings back a lot of great memorries.
See when I hear it it makes me move. How have you been so excluded, it makes me cry the 20s to the 90s, the best music of our life. Im 54. You will never have what we had. So sorry for you .
During that time, I can't think of any songs that were bad or I didn't like. Great time to be young! Thanks! Loved it!!
The best thing to come out of the 60's is the music and the cars. I am so glad I was around to see/hear both. Do you remember MAMA's family? Vicki Lawrence (MAMA) sang a song called "that's the night that the lights went out in georgia". I would love your reaction to that song.
Bobbie Gentry sang it before "Mama" Vicki Lawerence did.
@@jojosewist8921 No she didn't
She sang Ode to Billie Joe a d Fancy but Vicki recorded the demo and her husband couldn't sell it so he had her record it. Years later Reba McEntire recorded it. I just saw this story on a video with Reba and Vicki singing the song together. That's where the entire story came out about why Vicki Lawrence recorded it to begin with.
Jackie Wilson was one of the greatest singers of all time. He would easily be on the top 5 of Motown.
Sadly there's unfortunately another story Jackie and you've probably heard this alot in the music industry didn't have one dollar to his name before he died but he did have one man in his life that was a true friend and that was Elvis Presley. He got him out of debt paid for his groceries and whatever he needed. They were the best of friends. It's just sad that a man that devoted his life to singing and was one of the best singers of all time had nothing left at the end 😔
The 50's and 60's had many great black singers. My youth and my favorite Music! Loved Brook Brenton, Billy Eskine.
JACKIE WILSON; WILSON PICKETT; JAMES BROWN; OTIS REDDING; SAM COOKE were all giants of the 1960s
I remember watching this on American Bandstand...no 45 record collection would be cool without Jackie....thanks Tye, lots of memories created on your channel..blessings and much love to you and your beautiful family....
Jackie Wilson and Johnny Maestro (The Crests) grew up in the same neighborhood, knew each other and would sing each others songs on stage. Maestro did an excellant version of this song which is on you tube
Ahh, my dad's favorite singer. This was dad's favorite singer, along with O. C. Smith who sang a song called, God didn't make Little Green Apples. Sure brings back memories, thanks. Great reaction
...back in the day when the presentation and performance were just as important as the vocal, which is off the chart...love this song...
Cutter & Ms C
Ah Jackie, what a smooth singer and dancer. He was always fun to watch and so easy to listen to. I am so grateful that I was alive back then to enjoy all the wonderful types of music that didn't include cussing, hating on women, political crap, or any of the filth that much of music today includes. We had one radio station that played all genres and it was wonderful, from Jackie Wilson to Tammy Wynette and everything in between. Thanks for playing this one Ty, totally enjoyed it.
ha! funny I should come across this vid today...Last night I saw Jackie's son Bobby perform. excellent show!
His name was n character was used in the movie La Bamba with Lou Diamond Phillips playing Ritchie Valens. In the movie Jackie Wilson plays the song Lonely Teardrops in the movie. Good movie. Check it out.
Elvis was talking about Jackie (in The Million Dollar Quartet) how he saw this guy singing Don't Be Cruel and phrased the word "tel-e-phone". Elvis when he was on Ed Sullivan show, used Jackie's phrasing as he sung don't be cruel.
I love to hear and watch Jackie!! Jackie Wilson & Elvis r the best singers and to watch those+
two in action
He was known as MR EXCITEMENT in his time 1956-1975. He had a stroke while performing on stage in 1975 and died 10 years later after being in a prolonged coma. He was only 49 when he passed away. The man is a legend. Check out Baby Workout.
Soo! Happy to see and hear your video of Jackie Wilson I was in Edinburgh Scotland when this came out,just shortly before I came to the USA.littledid I know Then that I would get to meet him and see his show in LA Calif.still have his autograph. I had entered a radio contest and won two tickets to his show!still have all his records ( 45s ) he, Brook Benton ( So many ways. ) Little Richard gosh I could go on and on. But wanted to say a Big thank you for playing this song also try (that is why I love you so ) could go under satisfied . Anyway love you channel and fun ways you have on your show! 🎄✝️
Fantastic then and yes now Jackie Wilson a great singer.
Elvis Presley was a HUGE fan of Jackie Wilson and said he got alot of inspiration from him as a entertainer. Good reaction MRM!
He and Elvis were good friends. They always went to each others shows. He use to imitate Elvis doing Don't Be Cruel and Elvis just loved it! He had a tough life.
He's a little-known treasure from the 1950s. They used to call him "Mr. Excitement." Eddie Murphy used his ballad, "To Be Loved" in a scene in "Trading Places" or "Coming To America" I forget which.
Jackie Wilson was in a class by himself! This man could do unheard of things with his voice, he could flip, and put on a show that would make the women swoon! And his cousin Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops was no joke either! (Another cousin was with The Contours and Levi's brother was the lead voice of 100 Proof Aged in Soul) !And many of his early hits were written by Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records. You MUST hear "To Be Loved", "Higher and Higher", "That's Why I Love You So" and "Whispers (Getting Louder)!
I was thinking the movie was "Dirty Dancing" but it's not listed on the soundtrack. If it was in the movie it was only a portion. Now I have to watch the movie for the zillionth time to find out. I am loving these classics so please keep them coming.
" Mr Excitement " , Jackie Wilson ! 1st time I heard this in '58, I ran to the Woolworth
s Store, & bought the 45 for 49cents. I still have it today. what a song ! --------MJL< 75 y/o
Please do...
Never Been to Spain- Three Dog Night
Or
Try a little tenderness- Otis Redding
My mother's favorite singer. Miss you mom❤️❤️
No one, no one in the reaction game covers a wider variety of music than MRM. Keep it up!
Note that Berry Gordy was a co-writer of this song......he wrote a number of songs for Jackie Wilson.......this was in the days well before the founding of Motown.
Soar and sing / dance with the angels!!! Love ya Jackie!!!
Wow I’ve always liked this song but what an amazing performance ❤❤❤❤ love it
Jackie Wilson was one of Elvis's favorite singers!
I watch this every month of so just to watch him dance. My favorite vocal of his is Danny Boy. It's on a level by itself.
The song you are thinking of is likely "(Your Love Keeps Liftin' Me) Higher and Higher."
I could look for ever and not find a radio station that would not only play good oldies, but songs that I forgot about. Thank your subscribers for their requests.
I just LOVE your reaction videos!!! I love them so much, I have totally stopped watching all other reaction videos from other people.
Jackie Wilson was extremely talented! He was a trail blazer too!
My husband was in a band back in the late 60s and early 70s and met Jackie Wilson. Actually got to sing with him on stage. Alas, hubby's band "The Avengers" failed....xo
Yesss!! Bring back those days,, those singers
The first time I ever heard Lonely Teardrops was in the movie La Bamba, Howard Hunstberry played Jackie Wilson in La Bamba.
Love his voice and moves. Never tire of this video.
Whenever I gave birth to my first born son down 8n Louisiana Jackie sister in law drove me to St. Ann general hospital in Mathews in lafourche parish. Jackie was one of Elvis,s good friend they use to sing n mess around a bar in raceland the next little city over
I read Jackie Wilson was on the sound stage when elvis sang Return to sender and imitated Jackie and you can see the smiles on Elvis s face
Jackie Wilson was great, I'll always remember him and his music!
the movie with Patrick Swaize can not think of the name of it but it was a terrific popular movie of the 50s at a family vacation resort and he was a dancer to keep the guest learning to dance and keep them entertained ,great movie ,dance moves ,and music.
Jackie Wilson! One of the all time greats.
I LOVE HIS SPIRIT WHEN HE'S SINGING. Love this song. Thank you with LOVE.
Love this song!!
Jackie Wilson was awesome.he was one of the artist that a very young Michael Jackson loved to watch. Him and James brown.
YEA !! I asked you to play Jackie Wilson ,& you did !!! Thank You! Like I commented before, Jackie's fame spanned racial divides ! This was in the late 50's & 60's . Happy 2019 ! To you & yours!
Ya man, I'm a 68 year old white man who grew up in a Detroit suburb so along with all the blues/rock fusion going down in the late 60's early 70's we would not hesitate lay claim to the Motown sound that we dearly loved. Jackie was one of the best. Love your reaction vids, keep it up.
Jackie Wilson , just the best
"....and you know, I'm so wired up, don't need no coffee in my cup....let it all hang out...." Van the Man loves Jackie. Jackie died alone in a New Jersey hospital. Voice of an angel. An angel on Earth. So please, Brother Renaissance, play Jackie Wilson Said by Van Morrison and then play Higher and Higher by Jackie himself. You will be closer to god, if she's even listening. Blessings to you and yours, my brother. Bg love out to you.
Thanks for reminder I had completely forgotten Let it all hang out.
Jackie Wilson...a legend. So great!
Jackie Wilson, the Man, the MUSIC, the MOVES, the TALENT~~
