Jackie Wilson is my artist of the week and month
i just had to listen to Jackie Wilson this past week and just enjoy his unique tone and range all over again. I have always been a fan. Jackie wilson's influence is felt on Michael Jackson and so many other artists. but he was a rare talent who had incredible showmanship to match a dynimite voice. "Lonely teardrops, to be loved, your love (lifts me higher and higher) stop dogging me around. the Man was Smooth and Bad. he had charisma and Personality. He inspired Elvis Presley as well and you know that Ronald Isley was inspired by him as was Smokey Robinson along with Sam Cooke and James Brown. it' always great to see footage of this man performing. he was called Mr.Excitement and when you see him in his Prime and Peak performing then you can understand that he earned that title.
