Jackie Wilson "Mr. Excitement"...what a great voice. Wilson collapsed on stage in 1975 and spent remainder of his life in a coma. He died in New Jersey in 1984, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. 1. Lonely Teardrops #7 in December 1958. 2. (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher #6 in September 1967. 3. That's Why (I Love You So) #13 in April 1959. 4. I'll Be Satisfied #20 in July 1959. 5. To Be Loved #22 in April 1958 in Eric Records stereo mix. 6. Whispers (Gettin' Louder) #11 in November 1966. 7. Night #4 in April 1960. 8. Talk That Talk peaked at #34 in January 1960 but was released in 1959. 9. Doggin' Around #15 in April 1960. 10. Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Want To Meet) #62 in September 1957 in Eric Records stereo mix. All songs on the Brunswick label. One of my favorites "Baby Workout" is currently blocked by UA-cam but a nice video can be seen at ua-cam.com/video/JOnHPuHI_aM/v-deo.html
Great list. Many of his biggest hits were his cover versions of opera melodies with words written specifically for him. Night was the biggest of these, but "Alone at Last" and "My Empty Arms" were also top 10 pop hits.
Jackie recorded an entire album of "Classical'" melodies in 1962 . It includes those 3 hits . This is from that album, Great song, but only made it to # 82 on the charts. ua-cam.com/video/TN626Yeteco/v-deo.html
This man taught me the joy of singing and music I c since 6 years old and sound so good as yesterday day. Fantastic over above singer/ dancer. Love him!!!
Wilson was always a hazy mystery to me; never heard him on the radio, and rarely featured on oldies shows. Turns out he was very successful, well into the 60s. Didn’t hear him growing up because of rural Canadian radio programmers; too r&b, I guess - Nat King Cole, yes, Jackie Wilson, no. Great energetic style.
EVERY ARTIST FROM ELVIS PRESLEY TO JAMES BROWN TO SAM COOKE ETC WAS INFLUENCED BY THIS INCREDIBLE ARTIST. HIS VOICE WAS ASTONISHING AND ONSTAGE HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO EQUAL ❤

I don’t wanna delve into spirituality,but this brother who left us to soon.He had a voice that was touch by God almighty.
Among my most favorite singers so much power range and flexibility in his voice amazing songs for an amazing voice
Jackie ma beach music Legend in tHE CAROLINAS, Gone but never forgotten because we remember JACKIE WILSON!!!!!
What a great voice this man had! It was a tragic ending for him,one of the best singers ever!❤💔
Jackie does not get credit he deserves. What a voice and entertainer.
Imagine putting Jackie Wilson and Roy Orbison together in a studio doing an album of duets. If I could only go back in time.

Anxiously waiting for your next 10 song sets, they are marvelous!

Beautiful song
Jackie was an incredibly talented singer, I wonder how many songs did he ever write? He's the 1st coming of Prince !
He was a singer, not a songwriter. Turned anything he sang into magic ❤
Yes ,that is the whole truth!!!!
My man ❤❤❤
He could sing any songs his voice was so smooth Danny boy and no pity in the naked city was my 2 favorite songs
Love it! Thanks!
Best TQ👍👍👍❤️❤️
Got to, be the best male vocalist of all time. So many brilliant songs. Such a shame that he was badly exploited by hangers on.

His manager stole everything that Mr Wilson earned, it is baffling when people have a great voice and get exploited by a holes
