  • To suggest that Jackie Wilson watched Elvis' dance moves is ridiculous on the face of it! Not taking anything away from Elvis and his daringly sexy moves for that era which he admitted copying from 1950's era black performers, but Jackie's moves came strictly from his own sense of showmanship!

  • music at its spirtiual high never to be seen again .. the man had it.

  • I remember Jackie very well.He was a rare talent,with a fantastic voice.He left us way to young,but,those of us who knew Jackie Wilson will never forget.

  • Jackie Wilson and James Brown were two people whose dance moves Michale Jackson studied.

  • Souvenirs souvenirs...c etait mon danseur prefere.........Merci

  • Mr.Excitement, Jackie Wilson. Operatic range. God, I loved that guy.

  • @drdonwhill Many opera singers sing with just two octaves.

  • Grrrr!!! SEXY! Now I hear this song in a whole different light!

  • Brilliant performer. His sister had a fantastic voice as well. He was considered a master showman, one of the most dynamic singers and performers in R&B and rock history. He went solo in 1957 and recorded over 50 hit singles that spanned R&B, pop, soul, doo-wop and easy listening. During a 1975 benefit concert, he collapsed on-stage from a heart attack and subsequently fell into a coma that persisted for nearly nine years until his death in 1984.

  • What happened to all the great, classy black entertainers up through the 50s and 60s? More class in Jackie Wilson than in all of the bonehead rappers put together. These black singers taught all of us white guys how to shake. What they taught us was passion. They are gone, and what is left is not worth listening to.

  • @camrant

    You mean, you don't like Justin Beiber? hahahaha

  • @camrant This is false. Actually Wilson watched Elvis dance. Thanks for the racist comment though.

  • Love this song, Love Jackie Wilson, good days, good times, good memories

  • My heart does nothing but, burn! Fantastic!

  • Look at the way he moves and his vocals. This is who Elvis copied from. This is why I do not like Elvis, and white folks call him the king. Please! The copycat.

  • Some moves for a big man

  • It's amazing how much Cee Lo Green sounds like Jackie Wilson!

  • I noticed that Jacki Wilson dances the same way Elvis Presley does , see Elvis sing Bossanova.. and notice the dance moves , very similar and Very  classy..

  • The BEST!

  • Jackie W. created the Moonwalk! not Michael Jackson: watch (0:30) and (1:53) Sidestep.

    great video. thank you for sharing.

  • @blueneptun1 I think that Jackie Wilson was extremely talented, a great singer and a great dancer.One of the best ! I saw him about 50 years ago performing in person. Fantastic.

    Giving him or Michael Jackson credit for inventing the Moonwalk though, does a dis-service for decades of talented vaudville and night club dancers that came before them and did the same basic move. It was an old step even when Jackie was performing on stage.

    Check these out on YOUTUBE--Origins of the Moonwalk

  • The awesome jackie wilson singing with soul not selling it.

    Rihanna

    Lady? GaGa

    Justin Bieber

  • @mountain824 Hi!

    Hello Maria!

    They say that Michael Jackson was inspired by Jackie Wilson to create the moon walking!

    Thanks!

    A big hug!

  • @shakybest

    Who said that? Facts are, Michael Jackson learned what he dubbed Moonwalk from Bob Fosse.

  • @shakybest Michael Jackson didn't create the moonwalk. From what I know, he was taught. People were doing it everywhere and he liked it so he picked up on it and made it famous worldwide.

  • @ValentinoBrown Cab Calloway did the moonwalk in 1933!

  • @zeke1312 Wow. Well there you have it. Even today, current generation dances are just moves picked up from earlier days and renamed something else.

  • @shakybest Incorrect. The moon walk actually began with the French mime Marceau Marceau, and Michael Jackson was taught by a break dancer.
