Mr. Excitement in person! I still can't figure out how he does that lift at the end. Sheer magic.

I have to tell you. I don't have a single Jackie Wilson recording. I love singers like Tom Jones and Englebert and of course my favorite Nat King Cole. But when I hear Jackie Wilson as I have heard in this video, I am reminded that he may be the greatest male vocalist who ever lived. What a wonderfully gifted performer -- pure unstoppable energy! And vocals no one can match.

@MrAnthonyVance A good place to start with Jackie is the 2 CD set "The Ultimate Jackie Wilson," which does a fine job of showcasing his most essential tracks.

I guess this was a time when you had to really have TALENT to get a record deal...now all you need is the LOOK and the Record Label will take care of the REST lol

Jackie Wilson, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke...they sound even better live then they did on their Records IMO

[iamanatullah]

@OTKP Very true--Jackie, Otis, and Sam were all even better live, though Jackie's only live album, "At the Copa," does not represent the excitement of his live act as much as "Live In Europe" and "Live at the Harlem Square Club" represent those of Redding and Cooke.
