  • Around what year was this film released and was that Jackie performing onstage in the background in the nightclub scene in the beginning opening credits ?

  • Great rare soul gem thanks for posting this it has to  be one of the most rare Jackie Wilson single

  • Was this song a hit?

    ...anyway it must be one of the least known of the Kirk Douglas rooster of films.

  • Great! Thanks for posting. I caught the start of this movie a couple of years ago on cable - I kept watching the repeats just so I could hear the song again and again!

  • is it possible you are confusing "A Lovely Way to Die" with "What A Lovely Way"...this was available on 45 and LP

  • Put OnASweater- you can get this song on

    a 45 record in the US, even on an album,

    but very rare!! Love JW also, and thanks

    and I appreciate all your kind words, I see

    you are a Mega Fan-- Best MM

  • I have been looking for this song for 30 years...I saw the movie a couple of times just to hear Jackie Wilson sing the theme song ....it was never released in the US...it's the only recording of his that I don't have!!!!! By the way, hated the movie!

  • Fantastic slice of rare soul !!!,.ktf.
