Jackie Wilson - Lonely Teardrops

An original oldie, written for Jackie Wilson and later covered by several others including Brian Hyland, John Fogarty, Michael Jackson and Huey Lewis, along with some information about the icon.
I thought I'd try something a little different and veer from making videos that require some thought and imagination. So this is for all those who love the oldies and those who comment on a video saying,
"I love this song."

Yes he did lead a sad life Lanie and I don't think he fully

I was one of a group of contributors who put a headstone on his grave in Detroit. It reads "No More Lonely Teardrops"

@lanie41 I read somewhere that Elvis helped pay for Jackie's medical costs, until his death in 1977. Jackie probably did lie there alone after that until his own death.
