- Before Michael Jackson, there was Jackie Wilson, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Michael Jackson called Jackie his biggest influence and a leader in the business. Jackie Wilson set the bar of what a complete entertainer should be and many of the black entertainers who came after him, emulated Jackie's style from James Brown, The Temptations, to The Jackson Five, Michael Jackson, and to Usher.
Jackie had a gifted, versatile voice, he could sing soul, pop, blues, jazz, and even opera. A gifted dancer as well, who popularized spins, knee drops, and a host of creative dances, that people do to this day.
Jackie Wilson was the complete entertainer...talent, good looks, charm, sex appeal.
Talent like Jackie Wilson's is impossible to find today. This man stands alone when it comes to melody, range, power, and overall performance. Totally amazing!
. 8 uhh uhh😅
Can you feel me
This is when America had real singers who truly could sing. What an era.
no disrepect but Michael Jackson does not even compare to Jackie Wilson
Are you kidding? Michael couldn’t polish Jackie’s shoes.
Why doesn't anybody have talent like this anymore? Notice that Jackie didn't have to take anything off, didn't have to grab his genitals, and didn't have to "twerk" on anything or anyone. He just flat out kills it with that voice. He was a beautiful and talented gentleman. I miss him.
He and his peers like Sam Cooke and Lou Rawls started in the gospel circuit where it was often just you and your audience. No musicians, no mike. You had to articulate to be understood, you had to develop range to be interesting. Today everyone relies on studio gimmicks.
Me too !!!!!
One of the best singers of all time. He truly had it all...................
his range was amazing. from Soprano to Bass
im a simple guy, i see jackie wilson, i click like.
I'm so happy they have these clips of him singing live for us to see.
Sadly there will only ever be one Jackie Wilson the coolest funkiest cat around with the moves and the Voice to back it all up and then some he never misses a beat even when he's spinning ,dropping to his knees and rising back up Mr Excitement lived up to the title !
Jackies singing voice was amazing, may he rest in peace .
I see these clips of truly, gifted people and subsequently despair of today's trash artists. We have gone backwards with music, without a doubt.
The artists that they promote are trash. It's no longer about music, it's about business.
This was such a beautiful performance! Bravo Jackie Wilson. He had smooth moves, catchy tunes, and such a lovely way of expressing his music. This is one of a few videos that I can watch from the beginning to the end without pausing it to do something else. He stands on his own throne.
No one can ever top his beautiful voice❣️ I’m so happy we have the venue to keep enjoying this beautiful man.💕💕💕💕💕🥰
Everyone loved him so gifted.
How many singer today could just go out there, like Jackie,with just a microphone and just tear it up. He sang a ballad, a pop song, and an operatic aria. No back up dancers and no auto tune. Just a man with tremendous talent
Actually he didn't have a mic, he lip synced, as all performers did on the Sullivan Show, unless they had their band with them.
Beth Caruso
Leslie cunnian ....Actually Leslie , Jackie was not lip syncing on the Ed Sullivan show....there was a hanging boom microphone out of camera view above Jackie's head .....Jackie was backed up by full production orchestra on the Sullivan performances .
Jackie was however lip syncing on the Dick Clark shows .
@@mikevallen999 thank you for sharing that
@@williesayulita ....you are very welcome Jeff.....and if you are a Jackie Wilson fan , you might like the Utube playlist titled "JACKIE WILSON'S BEST " by yours truly Mike Vallen .
The last 120 posts on that list are my uploads with some rare photographs etc . of Jackie Wilson .
I hope you enjoy it .
Sincerely Mike Vallen .
Today's superstars perform with a small army of dancers and they are great. Jackie Wilson accomplished the same thing all by himself; in fact, he is even better.
Today there is an army of dancers to distraction to the bad singing
And?
@@iamranndizzle3204 and today's music sucks.
Michael Lynch then don’t listen to it
Oh I don't, but I've heard plenty of it in clubs
Not enough words to describe how great Jackie Wilson was! He inspired a generation of both black & white singer/entertainers. So many of todays so called singers could learn ALOT from Jackie Wilson! He had soul, he had rhythm, was a great singer & dancer and of course very charismatic! Sorry i never did get to see him perform, died way before his time. You just don't see great talents like this any more. YES, Michael Jackson (RIP) was inspired by Jackie. Rest in peace Jackie and THANK YOU for the tremendous and wonderful legacy of music you have given us! Lonely Teardrops.....................
No auto tune, just a great voice!!!
He was one of the greatest soul singers ever,fantastic voice
I know Elvis helped Jackie out, more then any other artists when Jackie got sick. Even many black artists didn't help Jackie, even the ones that Jackie had helped or was friends with. I know quite a bit about this, because Jackie is my grandfather. I'm doing my part by keeping his legacy alive by putting up videos.
You are a very classy and honorable person.
Pure soul and talent from head to toe ...the incomparable Jackie Wilson .
Yesssss!!👏👏👏👏👏
The incomparable Jackie Wilson.❤🎶🎶❤
Rightly said...
Without a doubt, still no equal!
Oh what a pair of lungs! Fabulous!
He used to be a boxer
Edward Wheeler , Indeed you can tell that by his dance moves!
THIS IS WHAT TRUE SINGING IS ALL ABOUT & NOT THAT HOLLERING & YODELING THAT THE SINGERS OF TODAY PASS OFF AS SINGING
lmao...hollering...
Agree, the way he held that note on to be loved, man could sang, not sing but sang his head off
parvezjakson 😂😂😂
Ed Sullivan must've meant when he said "his race" the human race since no one in before or since can sing like that RIP
No one can compare with the range of Jackie Wilson...he is the king of range and octaves!!!
Jackie Wilson was a great performer that my generation does not know about and that is sad because, there is no one in the music industry now a days like him.
"It's finna be!!!! Moves and all!!!!! Kid Big Smoke OG aka Roku!!!!!!!!! Upcoming rapper,singer,actor,dancer,producer,director,entreprenuer,CEO and author, I'm finna change the world!!!!!!!"
I am so proud of the beauty of the many expressions and beauty that ADOS African Americans created to modern global civilization. Luv my brothers.
Hey Robert from three years ago. I'm not gonna get into a discussion of who's better than who. But when God gave us Jackie Wilson, he dropped a little bit of magic onto the earth. Could you imagine opening your mouth and hearing those sounds come out? And then looking down, and see your feet your feet moving like that? I will say this-- there has never been anyone, ever, better than Jackie Wilson.
What a voice. It is so sad the way he passed away. Not many people know about this. 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.
Elvis paid all of his medical bills til he died. A gifted performer! Loved him.!
Him and Elvis were very good friends.
I want to add something with that I was young listen to Jack Wilson. My dad had his own band he would try to imitate Jack Wilson He always played Jack Wilson records.
It took years for him to get a headstone on his grave!!!!! My first crush!!!!! Couldn't have had a better FIRST time crush!!! Listening to his music and watching his videos still gives me chills ❤❤❤❤RIP!!!
This man is the stage God of early soul and just about anything else you want to hear ... A one of a kind !
My God all these years he still gives me the chills when I hear his voice. 2020
This performance digs so deep. Truly amazing. My soul is crying.
He is truly a legent..no one like Jackie Wilson..love his voice..love playing his songs when i am feeling lonely..Great.
There will NEVER be anybody as great as Jackie Wilson. If I was Ed, I would have dispensed with all the other guests and just had Jackie weaving his spellbinding magic for the whole show. These three performances are beautiful - thank you MusicandDancing4Ever for posting them.
Lee Boyall.
Lee Boyall .....I second that emotion .
Jackie had a voice that would make you stop and listen. Good looking, moved great and was a good person. Never heard anything bad about him. Loved me some Jackie Wilson.
Pamela Williams Jackie Wilson AKA "Mr. Excitement" was a human being just like you and me. Therefore he did scandalous things throughout his life. However, during the 50's & 60's media were more "kinder and gentler" towards entertainers.
@@ddlee202257 I don't think she even mentioned him doing anything scandelous, her comment said she didn't hear any bad words about him, which didn't mean he was perfect. He sure wasn't crooked ! I doubt scandelous, that was his manager!
Pamela Williams even Barry Gordy had to let Jackie go because he was so talented true opera, blues, rock and roll, balladeer, u name if he had it! True mr. excitement!
@@ddlee202257 Stop with your nonsense!! We are talking about talent not someone personal life..!
@@ddlee202257 I gave up thinking about whether my fav entertainers were good people or not a while ago, because as you say, they are human, and being starts their mistakes can be bigger than the rest of us. Jackie really did not lead a good life, it was, perhaps partially through his own fault, and partially not, he led a tragic life. Probably the saddest of which is falling on stage (he was likely high) hitting his head, going into a coma for almost 10 years, becoming brain dead until he died around 39 or 40. ANd his record company totally screwed him. Still there has to be something in people so talented as Jackie that makes him such a complete artist. He is amazing, my favorite.
There's nothing the great Jackie Wilson can't do ... and brilliantly !
Jackie aced roclk and rolll singing and did it with an operatic voice. Now give me one singer who could do that ? He left his mark here on earth and although they may have stolen his finances and neglected him when he became ill they will never take away the beautiful singing voice and memories that he left behind. And those who were inspired by his style. GOD BLESS JACKIE !!!)
Joyce Nierman: Well Said! Thank You!!!
And to think at one time this quality of entertainment was norm of a prime time TV show. This was the standard and expectation. Today we as a society are lucky if get a performance half as good at the Grammys or any music awards. Even then, it wouldn't be this good. How did we stray so do far???!!!
in one word "Fantastic" this is what makes singers like Jackie legends cause they will never be replaced.
Ivan Brady greatest voice and entertainer ever
One of the top five singers of all time . Period !
Jackie Wilson,Otis Redding , Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye, right?
JazzyJ1318 For me it was Jackie Wilson , Elvis (pre 1964) , Brooke Benton , Johnny Mathis , Sam Cooke , Clyde McPhater , Nat King Cole , Frankie Laine . And let's not forget some equally great females such as Mahalia Jackson , Timi Yuro , Barbara Lewis , Connie Francis , Dinah Washington , Brenda Lee , Patsy Cline , Etta James . All pre 1970 . I've left out several other great singers but these are my top picks . There has never been so many great voices at one time as there was during that era , and sadly, I don't think there ever will be again .
George May A good list George. We used to be so diverse musically!
George May you are absolutely correct...
@@JazzyJ1318 you got that right
A true star! What a voice!
And no fuckin auto tune or choreographed steps,just one great singer who moved like no one else!
He is beautiful man omg
Wow the sexiest man ever put on this earth.
What a MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE ! This is undeniably one of the greatest singing talents ever. His voice is rivaled only by the lead vocalist of "The Platters", Tony Williams. I hope that there will be more singers like him today.
WoW no wonder he was called "Mr. EXCITMENT "🔥💯 RIP MR. WILSON ☮💜✝️🙏
That Amazing and handsome is Jackie Wilson! 💕 💐 🌹🌿
And that wonderful voice he has! ... precious songs!
Big talent.... Very rare and special!!!! RIP!!!
Notice the all white audience in those old TV days.. This was ground breaking performance back then where Jackie won over everyone with his authentic beautiful talent and charisma. He and Nat King Cole were pioneers that opened the white audiences eyes to the classy black man with the amazing voice... you can see here the heartfelt support that Ed Sullivan gives him.... Jackie was a very special artist God bless his soul and also Ed Sullivan who opened so many doors for Jackie Wilson and so many other great black artists.
Amen
He inspired an entirely new generation of singer: Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were just two, and they were only the biggest singers of their times!
Don't forget Sam Cooke he was a true pioneer for that time.
I just melted ! What a voice !
I know it was the times, but I had to laugh at Ed Sullivan's opening remarks. Boy I remember watching Jackie at The Uptown Theatre in Philly way back in the day.
Thats a real artist
How much better could he be? Impossible to improve upon.
Man. what a voice! Why don't we have singers like this now?
loverofcountry506070 try Raul Malo
loverofcountry506070 They don't & I'm afraid we won't Ever have a Man as Great as JW! He Is Still The King!
loverofcountry506070 FYI, I'm a Hugh Elvis fan! But Jackie Was Elvis, Before there Was an Elvis! The King!
People compare MJ and Jackie, as a compliment, and because they were two of the greatest of all time. They both were innovative, original, masters of the stage. Both had the power to amaze you. They both had energy, rawness, and passion. They could just mesmirize you. It's not fair to pit both against one another when it comes to who's the greatest. MJ adore Jackie, and Jackie would have loved MJ. They both were of different eras and every era has their greats. No one can doubt both were greats
A joy to watch and listen too. Loved his voice, songs and performances... beautiful 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
My idol, and I saw him many times on stage in Los Angeles as kid, how I was able to see him at 9 and 10 years old is a mystery to me, but I did. I was driven to see him, and I watched the women go mad. I realized my calling, and did become a singer. I met him as an adult in the late 70's at the airport in los angeles. i drove cabs while going to college. We picked up fares getting off the planes. I was not first up in line to be his driver however. I saw him dressed in all white, with his wife and son, them all in white, and like they stepped out of a cloud. I was speachless, but I said Jackie!, He reached and shook my hand, put is arm around my shoulder, while his wife and son walked to the cab that would take them. He talked me, and I a grown young man I was hipnotized. I felt like he gave me a gift from him at that moment, and a part of his talented soul. I had already been singing since I was 14 professionally already. I had recorded and did shows at 18 with producers at Motown and had records on the radio, plus I had worked with my own vocal group and band on the chiterlling circuit, but now I met my Idol, and I felt he was a part of my full circle and destiny. My autobiography will tell the rest of my journey, but in my mind, JACKIE WAS THE GREATEST EVER TO OPEN HIS MOUTH. I later studied classical voice in college and so much more, but he was a God!
You are blessed to have seen him live and to actually meet him in person. I would have passed out I love him so much.
One smooth dynamic performance...what happened to music?
Wow...just WOW! What a treasure!
Jackie, Jackie, Jackie..
There are not enough words to express how I feel..
I'm feeling, feeling, You As a Whole..! You wake up the soul in a individual...! Much Love..Mr Excitement.!!!!
A TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL SINGER. NO THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER. ❤
To;Bill Chew, I was not aware that he had a stroke. I'm grateful to God-Jesus for blessing me in seeing Him in person. RIP Jackie Wilson. You blessed many with your beautiful voice, a great dancing moves. Thank You Bill Chew for the info.
Such a stunningly beautiful voice. Xxxx
Magnificent! The one and only Mr. Jackie Wilson....
God bless Mr. Ed Sullivan for introducing on his show so many already accomplished African American artist whom because of stupidity and racism did not back then, received their due...,respect and accolades, I loved and admired both of these 2 gentlemen and my mother did too... thank you so much for the upload.....that was, music......
He is just so awesome to me
Consuela Allen i agree gorgeous
what a great talent he was.there will never be another jackie wilson
they stole all of his money and let him die alone
manuela redding so sad
My favorite group, the Spinners, paid for his burial. Stand-up guys.
God does not take any one...but many some to Him
Kimberly Lane .YES, A hey Google hey Google my getting away with the work yes no yes no yes no yes no yes no hey Google thank you thank you okay thank you thank you let's get in the keyboard to a race race keyboard to race race erase erase Google
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊👊👊👍👍👍👍👍👑👑👑👑👑👈!!!!!!!!
He Is the MAN !!
He was Handsome
Hey God, we'll make you a deal, we'll give you Justin Bieber if you let us have Jackie Wilson back.
+HDDynamicFilms Lol
+HDDynamicFilms leave white person, rip jackie
200damary How do you know what color my skin is, racist pustule? However, I have pretty good idea WHAT you are. I hear rectal cancer is a truly horrible way to die...have a nice day!
+HDDynamicFilms fuck him he's still stuck in time.
Yes, we like that... Please God!
Ed Sullivan: "That's the first of many appearances..." Meaning Jackie has great talent and I won't let racism stop me from showcasing him.
No one will ever have the same kind of influence and performancship that Jackie Wilson did.
along with Sam Cooke the greatest soul singer of all time
Thank God for Ed Sullivan! One of the few who OPENLY ADORED BLACK music, & THIS IS THE START of Ed's LOVE for Berry Gordy and Motown Corp.! GREAT UPLOAD from a fan of Motown since 1965🎵🎵🎵👍👍👍
Dang that's swag gentleman !
@MASeffect23 It's true, he was one of the best of his race and so loved by his people, but he also added by record fans too. Jackie never forgot his roots and who his first audience was, which was black people, that helped put him on top.
Whoa! Who can't feel the power? The expression and commitment to the emotions of song!
+Christopher Hardy and coming at you from over fifty years of time no less!
Super talent !! Got ripped off like many did then..sad..evil managers!!
The Complete Package.
Yes.. he had the whole package!! The VOICE...stopped you in your track, bc it was touch by an Angel.. yet we MUST realize he was accepted...his talent was, MORE accepted, WHEN it was on a so called white, say but true. He was the black.....where you think the whites got it....he was the showmanship...now 2day media everything BLACKS create(music) got a white face....country music has changed....black ppl has always sung country, now everybody's doing it. Country music changed during the 60's O C Smith(Little Green Apple)etc ..It is what it is...Mr. Wilson, was way a head of his time, and yes...had he been...wow. ..what a big star he would have been ...that VOICE
When Eddie Murphy was hitting those notes in coming to America 😂😂😂😂 I love this song man
I wish i could have met mr. wilson i was born in 70 i love his music he was robbed by the white man and died broke in a nursing home from his heart attack. Rest well Jackie your missed 6 million records sold all over damn shame
Im much older than you & I wish I couldve met him too. Heck, I wouldve sang for him!
Jackie Wilson
Ed Sullivan:suave, righteously fabulous-and appreciated by Black folk!
The man could sing anything, to perfection
WHAT A VOICE RIP Jackie!
This Entertainer should take a big bow!!!! I fell in love with this man when I was a little girl I'm in my late 60s now, and he is still one of my favorites, I think every Entertainer that is out there today Oh's Jackie Wilson a lot more than they're willing to admit. I feel that he was the greatest of all times I put him up there with Sammy Davis jr. Elvis, and other high-powered entertainers. But what happened to Jackie Wilson back then it still goes on so matter-of-fact George Michael sued Sony for the same crap there's a lot of singers out there they got screwed out of their royalties. All musicians should get together and build this building in Jackie name the industry owes this man, he definitely gave you more than you ever gave him. 😏😍😘
Bow down!! I was blessed to see him live on stage at the Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis,Mo. Easter Sunday 1965. I had just turned 16 the week before. Tickets to the show were a birthday present. Lucky me!!!!!!!!!
Sistahmomma
my mama was crazy bout Jackie
Tamara Robinson
Got to see this great singer in Las Vegas, back in the 70's, what a voice, and dancer wowwww.
Jackie was a great but very very very little of his work was done in the 70's.
Tina Thompson You obviously saw him before his horrible stroke.
SUPER SUPER SUPER ONE OF A KIND TALENT. GOD BRING BACK REAL TALENT LIKE THIS.
@@johnarrington1164 I agree with you August 28 , 2019
Sheila Davis Jackie Wilson is being honored with a star Hollywood Walk of Fame September 4 2019
AWESOME! Flawless performance. The one and only "Mr. Excitement" Jackie Wilson!
My blood races thru me every time I watch this. Makes me smile and want to cry all at the same time. So sad what happened to him. He was beautiful in every way. I watch BGT only in the hope we find another of his ilk but it will never happen.
Have you seen his son Bobby Brooks Wilson.? He's in Las Vegas. Check him out on UTube.
Very unique talented voice

Yes Jackie is # 2 of my 10 top singers of all times but Jackie Wilson was not a God & neither will ever be a God there is only one GOD one GOD only Our Father GOD in heaven Amen & Amen 🙏🙏
Sheila Davis come on, this guy is being really passionate - you don't have to force your beliefs on him just because Jackie Wilson shares the same name as a completely real magician in the sky.
If Jackie Wilson was a god I would be the fucking Pope.
@@Rob_-dv6ei I in
Sheila Davis plus it's insulting you state that he's number 2 on your list, just say he's one of your favourites. Leave the church for Sundays mate, because the Devil's music (as they called JW's music in the day) has never sounded so good.
I hate racism..this man was a god!!!
Elvis can’t hit those notes.
bryant farrell who?
Alessa You know who!
bryant farrell This Man Was Elvis,. Before Elvis was Elvis! Amazing Voice, performer,. No One Will Ever Be able to Touch His Greatness!!! 👍😃
I believe Elvis paid Jackie's hospital bills the entire time he was in coma. Dick Clarke I believe paid for his funeral, plot and headstone. For me, Jackie could sing anything from light opera to gospel with pop and soul included. The most versatile singer ever. One of the greatest and most innovative performers ever. For me, the greatest pop singer ever. Top five certainly.
Hel Gar
Awesome video, I wish someone would do this now days
Sarita McKnight you are so beautiful
There is nobody else can sing that good in an operatic tenor. Then drop REET PETITE OR HIGHER AND HIGHER. He was very special.
Never be another quite like him.
That was so good
I love the oldies it had such great music
This was the birth of soul music, way back then. Something we could all relate to, no matter what race or color. The great MoTown hits all started with J. Wilson singing to the world on TV. M Jackson learned a few of his dance moves from Jackie.
that is correct elvis, prince, michael all learned from jackie
And Tom Jones, who loves Jackie!
yes even the Beatles have gone on record stating that they learned from Mary Wells as she was out charting them on the billboards when they first hit the scene. Once again to your point it had nothing to do with color just the feel of music. I think that is what is really lost today.
FAR OUT----His suit is perfectly IN STYLE--for 2018-----SO IS his VOICE !!
He was the best.
Norman
I was born 2002 and have grown up listening to all modern day pop artists but I wish I was born in the 40s then I would have grown up listening to legends like Jackie Wilson and Bobby Darin and many others like the four tops and the everly brothers and the list goes on. 😢
