Jackie Wilson & Shirley Ellis / Dick and Dee Dee

Here's Jackie Wilson (my grandfather) and Shirley Ellis (of The Name Game and The Nitty Gritty fame) singing a rockin' duet together "Gonna Mess Up A Good Thing (Don't Cha Be No Fool)." Included in this video is Dick and Dee Dee singing "Be My Baby."
This is a rare footage of Jackie performing with a woman. Jackie is very playful with her, charming, charismatic, playing up to her, proving he could have chemistry with a partner.

Lets be honest, whoever they put on that stage with your Grand father was going to struggle !!! The most awesome talent who i saw live once myself. Seen some great artists over the yeas but Jackie is the best. Can't think of a modern artist fit to shine Mr Excitements shoes let alone compare to him KTF

@edge78a How about Michael Jackson?

Great to work the great artists like Dick & De De in this. Good video!!

@canadaman09 You mean it was great for Dick and Dee to work with great artists like Jackie Wilson and Shirley Ellis. Dick and Dee were kind of embarrassing.

Jackie jus too damn cool....check out that little snicker he gives some girl @ 3 :45

@edge78a That was meant as Michael wasn't in the same class on stage only,,its a phrase we use in England. Its all down to personal taste ! I respect yours but your unintelligent rude reply because i disagree with you is in very poor taste and disrespectful. Therefore i will give you the chance to reply sensibly,if you do not i will block you in future

@MusicandDancing4Ever Maybe he could shine his shoes !

Wow, Jackie Wilson is your grandfather, that is staggering. That's some good genes. Thanks for sharing this.

musicandDancinf forever as i'm a fan mainly of 60's soul music the Jacksons were a bit after that and you will probably be amazed by the fact i'm not a fan of Michaels, just down to personal taste. Have a look at my site and you will find 100's of the sort of stuff i go for.all the best.Edge

I never saw this before. This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for uploading it. You should be very proud that Jackie Wilson was your grandfather. He definitely was "Mr. Excitement.: He was always one of my favorites and his music is still relevant today. I rememeber when he performed, "Baby, Work Out" on Shindig or maybe it was Hullabalo. Great stuff. It doesn't get any better than that.
