Jackie is the greatest of them all and made the money that started Motown...sad he didn't reap any benefits and sadly gone too soon...appearance from Shindig, this classic performance deserves to be remastered to DVD...Bravo great one and RIP
@bradly2007 No he didnt, Berry Gordy wrote songs for Jackie, and when he saw he wasnt getting alot of money for song writing he borrowed 800 dollars from his parents to start Motown,so he would get nearly all the money!! Listen to his cousin Levi Stubbs, cos he's "the greatest of them all"
@wes170 Berry Gordy made lots of money from Jackie Wilson mega-hits from the 50's so don't buy "borrowed" story...true Levi is awesome but many agree Jackie Wilson is as good as it gets and happen to be one of the many to share this view...sited as the ultimate by Michael Jackson, Elvis, & many others, this legendary master would have flourished under better management and was abused by the industry although he scored lots of mega-hits, had he been white, his career would have eclipsed Elvis!
@bradly2007 Hey im just goin' with what i've read and heard when i went on the Motown tour in Detroit,so yea it could be untrue, but i totally agree with everything else you say(mainly the awesome Levi Stubbs bit of course!!)
