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
Went to Myrtle Beach last week. All the oldies were on the radio. @1975 we went to MB and Alabama was staying at the same hotel. Rode up the elevator with 2 of the guys and didn't have enough sense to introduce myself or any common courtesy. Well after all these years we went back to the same place and couldn't find it at first things are so grown up now. My wife said this is the place where Alabama was staying all those many years ago--they were having a concert.
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.
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 ....
Check out 'A Lovely Way To Die' on youtube. It was from a movie of the same name and is sung by Jackie Wllson. It was never released on record in the US, but was on a soundtrack LP in France
One of my favourite songs of all time. My Dad bought all this music into my life. The Four Tops, Temptations, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye.....so many more! I can't express how important all this music to me. I play it when I'm sad, happy, it means so much. Anyway just thought I'd say how amazing soul/motown music is and that it means so much to me.
Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, I vote for Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye, You decide who is the King! :-)
