    I grew up in Detroit but only heard about Jackie Wilson. It wasn't until I found this song on a 45 in a trash can. I played it and cried when I heard his vocals. I NEVER heard anyone sing like that before in my life. I was instantly and forever a Jackie Wilson FANatic!! Rest In Power. There will NEVER be another voice like him.

      Elvis Presley Had a Great Admiration to Jackie Wilson and Whenever He Could Elvis Would Allways Attend Jackie Wilson's Concerts. They Became Fine Friends. There are Pictures of them Together and One of them autographed by Elvis saying:" Jackie Here You Have a Friend for Live Elvis Presley". When Elvis Heard that His Friend Jackie Wilson Had a Stoke He Immediately Sent a Cheque to Pay for the Expenses of a good hospital for Jackie Wilson to Stay . This Very True. I Listen Very Often to the Marvelous Jackie Wilson's voice in HIS Songs . GOD Bless Him In Heaven as well as Elvis Presley.

As somebody else has said, it is almost operatic with an instrumental backing that allows Jackie to showcase his extraordinary vocal ability. By far the most arresting version I have ever heard.

      Robert you leave a very interesting comment, authentic and original, as I myself have twisted over this song, all my life; its popularity, and the many who covered this endless inspiring ballad; for me, questions always arrise. First and foremost Is about a man loving another man? As many males have covered this song. Or is it, someone singing for a long gone pesonality and friend he can't forget? Or is it a very longing jester to a brother or life long fond singing star; or is it, a female singing the song, being she had to leave him, and now in her grave she chants these lyrics,, and her spirit wishes her lover Danny to visit, often or sometime; because when he does, she will be there in spirit? Whatever the case, this version and the voice is powerful, and its a beautiful love song if anything and I think that's the whole poem. Thanks for your post.

    I love Jackie Wilson!!! His voice was truly amazing--what a range!!!
    Michael Jackson said that, as entertainers, both Jackie Wilson and James Brown inspired him.
    But overall, Michael is still the greatest performer of all time! He was the most famous entertainer on the planet!

    Best rendition of Danny Boy I have ever heard. He was a dynamite and emotional singer. ,That is why we called him ,'Mr. Excitement. Loved all of his songs.

    I never knew Jackie covered this version. I'm still in shock. What did I just listen to? I'll never think of "Danny Boy" the same ever again. I've always loved the song, but this version made me stand up and look at it again. Mom sang it to dad all of the time. He loved it. His signature mark is definitely throughout this beautiful and popular, historic song.

      @@mariatorres-np2yg Best Danny Boy offering by anyone. I had a front row seat to watch Jackie Wilson and all of the other stars that did not need auto tune or any other enhancement. Singers in my era could all sing and every song told a story. I am so glad that I was a product of the sixties....The greatest decade ever. You just had to be there!!!!!

    Jackie Wilson had more talent than people gave him credit for. In the 50s and 60s Jaclie was one of the few that ruled. I remeber hearing him in High School, Thank you for posting this song. Ole Sarge Usmc 69

    Jackie Wilson, the ONLY singer who makes me love Danny Boy. Not a song I particularly like, yet his version is one of my favourite singing performances of all time and THAT is the genius of Jackie Wilson. A truly extraordinary vocal show from the most magnificent singer of all time... Definite contender for the greatest vocal performance of all time, didn't think it was possible to sing like that - thank you Jackie!
