You bought 10...only 18 more and you've got them all...however that doesn't even count the many Greatest Hits collections he has. He was great beyond words..you'll love his records.
Elvis was in "awe" of Jackie. He and Michael was two of Jackie's biggest fans. Elvis paid for Jackie's nursing care until he died and Michael paid for his funeral. There is no comparison.....Jackie was Jackie, Elvis was Elvis and Michael was Michael.
I doubt that Michael paid for the funeral because Jackie didn't have a headstone for his grave. I'm pretty sure Michael would've paid for that as well.
Disturbs one to know that this man who left it all on the stage could fall off the map and die without even a headstone. Hopefully the passing of time will reward his legacy.
Jackie Wilson is probably the most under appreciated singer of all time. He had the perfect voice rhythm and he was a great performer. The range of his voice was amazing. Sad the way he ended up.
Elvis and Jackie were great friends. Some people said Jackie was the black Elvis Presley but people in the music business said no your all wrong---- Elvis is the white Jackie Wilson.
Jackie Wilson should have been on top for decades, a crime how his career with all that talent was handled leading to his early demise...nobody compares to this GIANT!
He lingered for years. I followed his birthday for a long while and remember hearing his wife say when she played his music tears ran down his cheeks. I suppose he was "locked in" May God have mercy on his soul. He was a truly great entertainer.
Elvis had a few idols that he admired such as Jacki Wilson, Sam Cooke among other Black Artist of the 50s. Because he loved black people and their music he was able to develop, sing like a black performer, he had soul.
I HAVE WATCHED THIS ONCE A DAY SINCE IT WAS POSTED ON TH-cam. THE THRILL JUST DOESNT WEAR OFF! GOD BLESS YOU JACKIE, THE GREATEST SINGER AND MOVER OF ALL TIME ❤
Jackie Wilson was one of the Top 5 greatest performers OF ALL TIME....PERIOD. No one had better moves...stage presence...vocals...you cannot name ANYONE better in ANY of those areas. Wish he would get his proper due, but true fans of music and performance KNOW.
Please let me know if there is someone better than Jackie, because I can't believe there is. Also people need to remember that this was 1973 and yet by all accounts by people who saw him live, he was something you had to see to be believed back in the 50s and 60s - wish I'd been there but I wasn't born til 1968. Keep spreading the word about Jackie to people who don't know. You're right, other singers had certain great traits - but Jackie had EVERYTHING!
Lee Boyall I agree ......I saw Jackie Wilson perform on stage a number of times at the New York City Apollo theatre in the 1960s....and as you said Jackie was incomparable.....no one even came close to his vocal and stage performance abilities..but I don't have to tell you that.....you already knew it ......and I know we commented to each other before , so I hope you are doing well....and we both are still waiting for the Jackie on Merv Griffin Griffin show video.....maybe it'll show up on Utube soon .
The criminally underrated Jackie Wilson. Every time I see a clip of him performing live, it just absolutely blows me away. He had it all. Incredible showman, astounding vocalist. Soulful improvisations just flowed effortlessly out of him like water. He could take a pop number and bring the entire crowd along with him to church. Nobody could touch this guy in a battle of pure talent. To think he came to such a sad and inglorious end. It makes me mad. The guy should be celebrated in some greater way.
Absolutely Simon nobody could touch him he was like one of his album titles "Somethin Else" Like you said he could take a pop number and take the entire crowd with him to church, he must have done 3 or 4 encores in that show the crowd wouldn't let him offstage they were begging for more !!
Only one could... And that person became the Greatest We ever saw... A TRUE STORY: After Jackie had a stroke, this entertainer visited him and immediately Jackie's eyes lit up. He knew MICHAEL would be the best.
he was a bad man an awesome artist a lot of the great ones looked up to Jackie Wilson like Michael Jackson man Prince man so many I can't name them all,
U should be tanked full of talent coming from that stable of stars. U look like a 'Etta James' type vocalist. I get off by playing to one of Wilson's hit records 'I'll Be Satisfied'. I don't bother with the currant tripe that supposed to pass as talent these days. The music made today becomes passe' very shortly after it's released.
This was before my time... they need to make a movie on him... I always heard he was good but didn't know till actually watching... he worked the stage till the very end and gave u it all till the very last moment... no wonder my fav MJ, loved him ...
"Lonely Teardrops," is in my top 5 of the all time greatest songs ever recorded. Jackie Wilson had no equal. He was unique, and there has never been anybody like him up to this day. Today's singers should be ashamed to call themselves singers, compared to this man.
I am 79 now and Jackie has lived in my heart and mind all these years because of his songs, voice and the excitement he has left in my life and always will!!! Gratefully.
FOR YOU TYPICAL TH-camRS who are quick to Downplay an Artist's success since you know nothing about them: *Jackie Wilson* was always a *Huge Star nominated for Grammys,* a household name, and *Never under-appreciated.* He was dubbed "Mr. Entertainer", widely Celebrated by all including other Celebrities, and received accolades even after his death. *Awards & nominations:* 1961: Grammy Award Nomination | 1968: Grammy Award Nomination 1987: He was *Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame* 1999: *Songs* _"Higher & Higher", "Lonely Teardrops"_ *inducted* into *Grammy Hall of Fame* 2003: *Honored* with the *Rhythm & Blues Foundation Legacy Tribute Award* 2005: Voted into the *Michigan Rock & Roll Legends Hall of Fame* 2013: *Inducted into the R&B Music Hall of Fame*
Today Jackie Wilson star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Love you Jackie, you are truly missed. Sad, you won’t ever know you’ve been honored this way. Let’s honor and love on others while they are here.
He sure gets a lot of mileage out of three words, stand by me. It's great, falling to the floor, diving into the floor, splits, all sorts of moves you can't take your eyes off him.
Jackie Wilson, the singing voice he had, how he moved to the music, and how he enjoyed performing. He is another one that left too soon, but his music lives on.
Many years back I had the pleasure to see Jackie Wilson perform live in Charlotte, North Carolina, he was outstanding, may he Forever Rest Easy and in Peace..
That bass player is on it !!!!! Jackie was the man. I remember I used to copy him and James Brown in my youth....hahaha. Another thing to note; this guy stays in tune even while he's moving like crazy. THAT IS TALENT !!!!!!!!
Jackie Wilson was Extraordinary Talented. He had soulful, suave and sexy moves. His voice will never be matched. He knew had to work his audience. Tears come down my face, when I think of how he passed away. Not many people under 50 never heard of him. Music today is missing the soul, love and heartfelt lyrics.
I saw Jackie Wilson in Augusta Georgia at the Bell Auditorium, with my mother. I will never forget his amazing voice and performance. Truly a voice straight from Heaven. My favorite is "Danny Boy" . I'm 74 now I still feel the power of God when I hear him sing. RIP
@@Arrozconchopsticks Elvis sees Jackie. The Dominoes played Las Vegas as a lounge act, and part of their entertainment menu included their own renditions of current hits. Jackie had a go at several Elvis Presley numbers, and guess who ended up in the audience four nights in a row in November, 1956? Right. Elvis. A few weeks later, Elvis, sitting in the Memphis studios of Sun Records with Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash, describes the performance of a “real slender” “colored guy” (“a Yankee”) who is “one of Ward’s Dominoes.” The conversation, along with Elvis’s demonstration of Jackie’s interpretation of the song, is preserved on the recordings known as the Million Dollar Quartet sessions. Note that Elvis says that the singer is doing a “takeoff” of him. I hardly ever hear that term anymore, but it was common in the Fifties. Rather than being an impersonation, a “takeoff” indicated that an artist approached something by adopting and adapting someone else’s performance: starting with an exaggeration, perhaps, of some features of the original, then proceeding to improve on the original, making the performance unique.
Jackie was TOP OF THE LINE even as a 19 year old performing at the Copacabana in NYC in 1962. And obviously Michael Jackson LOVED & adored both Jackie Wilson and James Brown.. Michael used to watch both singers in awe from the wings as a kid touring with the Jackson Five, learning so much. However James Brown didn't follow Jackie.. James Brown was already an established artist when Jackie Wilson hit the scene and Jackie didnt "follow" James either, they respected each other very much as they were the same generation though Brown was slightly older than Jackie..
His vocals were so powerful, and he came at a time where reverb and echo system wasn't really a thing in live performances yet. So he was able to project with a regular mic. Amazing vocal technique.
I have listend to Jackie EVERY day of my life since 1960 except for a 3 month period when I was in basic training at Ft. Ord, CA. Never get tired of his music... NONE better.
Few entertainers are better in person than on their records: James Brown, Gladys Knight, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and JACKIE WILSON! Spectacular!!
Elvis # 1 And the rest follow and they all knew it... Though he was more humble than people realize as was Jackie Wilson and Sam Cook... They admired and loved Elvis and he admired and loved them equally... He felt Jackie and Sam should have been more recognized and more on top and have what he had but all lost their opportunities in some ways due to management and Music industry control... Micheal and Prince and others fought it Sam became an incredible business manager and then was shot... They all died too young and is tragic what the stress strain and entertainment industry does to our incredible stars and talents... All had it tough in one way or another... Even Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe and others... All were great in their own rights and amazing talents... So tragic in so many ways... They will always be remembered loved and appreciated by me and most of the public... I just hate when the criticisms and attacks still come out of people in media and such that attack their character and lives when they are only human even in their greatness and Stardom...
@@janice5528 Elvis learned from the same place Jackie, James and Sam did - Black Gospel Music pioneers. All of them were raised in the church and saw gospel music in its infancy and the pioneers were building the genre in the 1930s and 1940s. So as children singers like Elvis and Jackie imitated what they saw and heard in the church on the secular stage.
@@JudahCub1981 I know that... I have learned so much about Elvis and others but he is always my favorite singer, Star and humanitarian, great man...So much to know, and learn about him of his short 42 year life. He was an avid seeker himself studied much, even about people's, faith, religions, music and many genres, how to improve his own voice and grow... If only he could have stayed away from the dependance of prescription drugs...He would have grown even more than he did...But fir what he did accomplish was truly amazing, magical, phenomenal and beyond what one could dream... He will live infamy and eternity God Blessed us with Elvis.🙏💙🎶👑💞💖
Jackie was so underrated, and was so fantastic, and so great on and off stage till, if you would compare him with those of his time, you would just say aahh, what is this man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elvis must have envy him!!!!!!! Reality is a mother f#@ker, and I GIVE notice that Jackie Wilson, was on top of the call in his era!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (O- SO- GOOD!!!!!!)
I've seen him live when he was younger which gives you an idea how old I am (70). He was towards the end of his career on this video. Sill good but yall should've seen him when he was younger.
You can see he was a big fan of Elvis...and Elvis was a Jackie fan too. Looks like he used Elvis designer for this outfit. He looks amazing. He had the habit of taking a handful of salt pills and lots of water backstage before he went on. He said it made him perspire big time and the ladies loved it when he was wet with workout sweat. Could possibly have been part of problem the night he collapsed on stage. We sure missed him over the years. Just a big shame....wish he had known he had Bobby before he died and able to meet him. Loved him in 1960...my favorite performer then. ⚘🙏⚘❣
Jackie was incredible, a wonderful entertainer. Many hit songs. It is unfortunate that during that time most artists of color were managed by the Brunswick Label. They owned Jackie lock, stock and barrel. On his records that came out they had down their 6 wk old son as the producer, another relative as the song writer. This company made millions off these great artists back in the day. He made millions for them and died a pauper in a seedy, nursing home, penniless. Michael J. was kind enough to buy this great a headstone for his grave otherwise no-one would know who was buried there. He gave us so much pleasure but they just used him up. He died in his early forties, I believe. All that singing and dancing took its toll on Jackie! He was entertaining ppl towards the end just to survive money wise!
GREAT PERFORMER,RIP JACKIE . LOVE THIS VIDEO. GOT THOSE MOVE'S SEXY MAN!!!. .YOU PUT ON A GREAT SHOW, NO WONDER YOU HAD A HEART ATTACK,, I WOULD HAVE TOO!!!WORE ME OUT WATCHING IT!!!
Thank you for posting this LIVE performance of "Mr. Excitement" from the early 1970's. All of Jackie's fans are waiting for the movie of his life and career.
My mother and her 5 sisters saw Jackie Wilson when they were young. They talked about his show all their lives ...may they all rest in peace! I can certainly see why. Fantastic performer grossly underrated!!
@@keithchanner Interesting Fact . . . According to Wikipedia, Art Laboe is an American disc jockey, songwriter, record producer, and radio station owner, generally credited with coining the term "Oldies But Goodies". (As of March 4, 2021 Mr. Laboe is still alive at 95 years old!)
I Can See Where Elvis Got All His Accolades From -JACKIE WILSON BABY!!! It Hurts So Much....How They Did This Man So Wrong. I’m Sure Your GOD Given Talents Are Being Rewarded In Heaven!!! R.I.H.P. You Handsome, Talented Hunk Of A Man!!! We Love You...I LOVE YOU!!!
I Thank the Almighty for the blessing of Jackie Wilson! What energy, and what a voice! I can't think of anyone who has such a soaring voice! And he sang with such soul, beauty and power at all of those ranges! Thanks for posting this! Today is Tues. 3-7-2023.

I just bought 10 of his albums from the 60's still in the original plastic wrap. I bought them from an old DJ's Estate
You bought 10...only 18 more and you've got them all...however that doesn't even count the many Greatest Hits collections he has. He was great beyond words..you'll love his records.
I'm begging someone honor this great entertainer by making movie...so sorry he isn't with us any longer 😢😢
Elvis was in "awe" of Jackie. He and Michael was two of Jackie's biggest fans. Elvis paid for Jackie's nursing care until he died and Michael paid for his funeral. There is no comparison.....Jackie was Jackie, Elvis was Elvis and Michael was Michael.
I doubt that Michael paid for the funeral because Jackie didn't have a headstone for his grave. I'm pretty sure Michael would've paid for that as well.
He didn't...the money was raised by a DJ when he found out that Jackie was buried without a headstone...the money was raised by his radio fans.
Disturbs one to know that this man who left it all on the stage could fall off the map and die without even a headstone. Hopefully the passing of time will reward his legacy.
Yvonne Paul Jackie Wilson was in awe of Elvis also
TRUTH INDEED AMEN
Jsackie had all moves and could sing. He had a sad death. Rest in peace
Jackie Wilson is probably the most under appreciated singer of all time. He had the perfect voice rhythm and he was a great performer. The range of his voice was amazing. Sad the way he ended up.
Fred Adams brook benton was the most unerated singer of all time not jackie
Fred Adams Little is know about this but Jackie could sing opera with his, oh is it falsetto??? voice.
Jackie didn't NEED to switch to falsetto. He had a 4 FOUR OCTAVE VOCAL RANGE !!!
williamg2552 I agree. He could have sung opera. He was awesome!
He was my favorite singer and I saw him in person in San Francisco.
Elvis and Jackie were great friends. Some people said Jackie was the black Elvis Presley but people in the music business said no your all wrong---- Elvis is the white Jackie Wilson.
I grew up on HIS RECRDS ALL WITH SERVERAL OTHERS of his singers they don't come like that anymore RIP ME WILSON
Any time you are feel down listen or watch Mr. Excitement and your mood will instantly change. He was truly one of a kind.
One of my mom's favorite dingers. I live him too.
Wish I could have seen him in person😍
Jackie Wilson should have been on top for decades, a crime how his career with all that talent was handled leading to his early demise...nobody compares to this GIANT!
Truth
Agree a shame in H**l
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite SINGER OF ALL TIMES. DANNY BOY WAS MY FAVORITE SONG.
He lingered for years. I followed his birthday for a long while and remember hearing his wife say when she played his music tears ran down his cheeks. I suppose he was "locked in" May God have mercy on his soul. He was a truly great entertainer.
And that's why he was called "Mr. Excitement." What a voice. What a mover. What talent.
RIP Jackie.
Elvis totally ripped this guy off...but Jackie has a transcendent energy that left Elvis (as talented as he was) in the dust.
There will NEVER be another Jackie Wilson.
He even now, is giving me chills
The man had a 4 octave range, and could hit every note with perfection. Berry Gordy rated him the greatest of his generation. Say no more......
He started it all! This is why Michael Jackson paid tribute to him. Fantastic!!
And James Brown, all the black singers and groups could cold-blooded-dance.
@@barbarahenderson4736 P44p1u

Its been long overdue.But,im glad he is finally gonna get a 🌟
Wish he had been there to see...
Took Long Enough!!
His wife who legally ended up owning his estate died two weeks before she was to speak at this most deserving event and recognition.
After seeing this, I’m convinced Mr. Jackie Wilson is the Greatest!!! GOAT
But this is not him at his best.
Jackie had everything....I think to this very day He's the Greatest Entertainer Ever...?
Elvis brother , fantastic voice and dinamic!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The incredible the fabulous, the legend for your pleasure... Mr Jackie Wilson
Elvis must have admired this guy
Elvis copied him known fact.
They were real good friends

He’s the best. Simply the best.
He gave this performance all he had.

You're absolutely right Simon
Only one could... And that person became the Greatest We ever saw... A TRUE STORY: After Jackie had a stroke, this entertainer visited him and immediately Jackie's eyes lit up. He knew MICHAEL would be the best.
Rest in peace Jackie Wilson got ripped off my soul Brothers and soul sisters and the recording company R.I.P
His rendition of Danny Boy is the best ever
Yes I was impressed too!
he was a bad man an awesome artist a lot of the great ones looked up to Jackie Wilson like Michael Jackson man Prince man so many I can't name them all,
What a great performer... Jackie Wilson...A voice range out of this world to match.
that's my daddy playing bass behind Jackie and leading the band. :) great to see this. thanks for sharing!
U should be tanked full of talent coming from that stable of stars. U look like a 'Etta James' type vocalist. I get off by playing to one of Wilson's hit records 'I'll Be Satisfied'.

He was a great entertainer and stage presence. Amazing to watch. I can see some of his moves that elvis emulated.
This was before my time... they need to make a movie on him... I always heard he was good but didn't know till actually watching... he worked the stage till the very end and gave u it all till the very last moment... no wonder my fav MJ, loved him ...
I love this guy! I met him in a store in NYC 1965 and he was a genuine nice guy. Will always remember him.
What did you say to him?

"Lonely Teardrops," is in my top 5 of the all time greatest songs ever recorded. Jackie Wilson had no equal. He was unique, and there has never been anybody like him up to this day. Today's singers should be ashamed to call themselves singers, compared to this man.
Truth Indeed
Sure is right 👍
Simply no one compares these days,
I deeply regret that I never got to see Jackie Wilson perform onstage.
Jackie son could play him in a movie!! Such talent!! They are almost like twins!!!💕
The incomparable Jackie Wilson surely deserved super star status .
I am 79 now and Jackie has lived in my heart and mind all these years because of his songs, voice and the excitement he has left in my life and always will!!! Gratefully.
" Mr Excitement " that's what he was called ... THE best performer of his time , bar none !!! Left us too soon ...
Brian Donnelly agree
FOR YOU TYPICAL TH-camRS who are quick to Downplay an Artist's success since you know nothing about them: *Jackie Wilson* was always a *Huge Star nominated for Grammys,* a household name, and *Never under-appreciated.* He was dubbed "Mr. Entertainer", widely Celebrated by all including other Celebrities, and received accolades even after his death.
*Awards & nominations:*

Actually, Jacke Wilson was dibbed ""Mr. Excitement". I believe Sammy Davis, Jr. was dubbed "Mr. Entertainer". I may be wrong.
Best of the best
Love ❤️ forever
Elvis was quoted as saying that Jackie was the best singer of their time.
A dynamic talent like Jackie Wilson only comes along once in a lifetime.....no one these days even comes close to the talents he had .
TRUTH INDEED AMEN
So 👍 true. Once only...
His son Bobby does a pretty good job at it.
Well said!!!
What a amazing voice!
Today Jackie Wilson star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Love you Jackie, you are truly missed. Sad, you won’t ever know you’ve been honored this way. Let’s honor and love on others while they are here.

I saw Jackie at the uptown theater. The rock ‘n’ roll show in 1961. I will never forget it.
Oh man, were you lucky!
Saw him in concert, in 1969 at Antoine’s in Port Arthur, Texas! Hellava entertainer! Rest Easy, Jackie.
He never lost that amazing voice ♥️

@Same Rules Apply And not only did he stay in tune but he held on to a cigarette in his left hand all through that first song.

That's what I think TRUE talent looks like. Incredible stage presence.

All the great songs written during his life should have been laid at his feet first. He was one of the best singers in our time.
Now, I understand why Michael Jackson was inspired and influenced by him. This was my first time seeing Jackie Wilson perform. Great voice and moves!
Michael Jackson was only one performer influenced by Jackie Wilson. Look at Tom Jones. Lotsa Jackie's moves.
You can see Elvis ripped of his whole look & mannerisms.

.......what a jewel of a concert, what a a rocket of a performer, great performance, the father of soul and excitement! thanks and god bless Jackie!!
Great singer, entertainer and fine as heck. Yasss Jackie!!!
you are right! he was a fantastic singer and gone way too early he had a great voice
What a fabulous entertainer. He hasn't had anyone compare with him all of these years.
His vocals were so powerful, and he came at a time where reverb and echo system wasn't really a thing in live performances yet. So he was able to project with a regular mic. Amazing vocal technique.
I have listend to Jackie EVERY day of my life since 1960 except for a 3 month period when I was in basic training at Ft. Ord, CA. Never get tired of his music... NONE better.
Understand and amen
Wow, that's too complex for me!
I was 20 years old in 1973 ,I remember him very well.
In a league of his own....no one even comes close to the talent and dynamism of Jackie Wilson.
Phenomenal performance, nobody compares to Jackie Wilson!
Fantastic performance, nice to see that everybody was just enjoying the music.
I wish I could have been there.
Few entertainers are better in person than on their records: James Brown, Gladys Knight, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and JACKIE WILSON! Spectacular!!
Elvis # 1 And the rest follow and they all knew it... Though he was more humble than people realize as was Jackie Wilson and Sam Cook... They admired and loved Elvis and he admired and loved them equally... He felt Jackie and Sam should have been more recognized and more on top and have what he had but all lost their opportunities in some ways due to management and Music industry control... Micheal and Prince and others fought it Sam became an incredible business manager and then was shot... They all died too young and is tragic what the stress strain and entertainment industry does to our incredible stars and talents... All had it tough in one way or another... Even Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe and others... All were great in their own rights and amazing talents... So tragic in so many ways... They will always be remembered loved and appreciated by me and most of the public... I just hate when the criticisms and attacks still come out of people in media and such that attack their character and lives when they are only human even in their greatness and Stardom...
@@janice5528 Elvis learned from the same place Jackie, James and Sam did - Black Gospel Music pioneers. All of them were raised in the church and saw gospel music in its infancy and the pioneers were building the genre in the 1930s and 1940s. So as children singers like Elvis and Jackie imitated what they saw and heard in the church on the secular stage.
@@JudahCub1981 I know that... I have learned so much about Elvis and others but he is always my favorite singer, Star and humanitarian, great man...So much to know, and learn about him of his short 42 year life. He was an avid seeker himself studied much, even about people's, faith, religions, music and many genres, how to improve his own voice and grow... If only he could have stayed away from the dependance of prescription drugs...He would have grown even more than he did...But fir what he did accomplish was truly amazing, magical, phenomenal and beyond what one could dream... He will live infamy and eternity God Blessed us with Elvis.🙏💙🎶👑💞💖
@@janice5528 Elvis is not number 1. Hahaha that's funny tho
@@finderkeeperrrs Yes, he is. The most reputable artists have stated this. Stop being hateful.
I've s seen a lot of performances from the 70's, but I've never seen anybody getting down like Jack did here.
I totally agree
John F wonderful
Jackie was so underrated, and was so fantastic, and so great on and off stage till, if you would compare him with those of his time, you would just say aahh, what is this man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elvis must have envy him!!!!!!! Reality is a mother f#@ker, and I GIVE notice that Jackie Wilson, was on top of the call in his era!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (O- SO- GOOD!!!!!!)
i love this guy,soo much....we need more of this stuff, more videos friends, pull them out of those closets
Too right. We've had compilation DVDs of everybody but Jackie and yet he's the greatest!
Lee Boyall by
Yes, let's get EVERY piece of footage on youtube for the world to see!
I just saw Jackie's son the other day. Bobby Brooks Wilson. Amazing. Like watching Jackie.
Jackie Wilson was a star, and he really loved his audience.
I've seen him live when he was younger which gives you an idea how old I am (70). He was towards the end of his career on this video. Sill good but yall should've seen him when he was younger.
Was he ever aware of what happened to him ? Or vegetated state?
You can see he was a big fan of Elvis...and Elvis was a Jackie fan too. Looks like he used Elvis designer for this outfit. He looks amazing. He had the habit of taking a handful of salt pills and lots of water backstage before he went on. He said it made him perspire big time and the ladies loved it when he was wet with workout sweat. Could possibly have been part of problem the night he collapsed on stage. We sure missed him over the years. Just a big shame....wish he had known he had Bobby before he died and able to meet him. Loved him in 1960...my favorite performer then. ⚘🙏⚘❣
....Simply beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🫂🫂
A legend. No one has had or will have the voice and style of Jackie.
In 2023,
ABC ought play this concert in full.
Jackie was incredible, a wonderful entertainer. Many hit songs. It is unfortunate that during that time most artists of color were managed by the Brunswick Label. They owned Jackie lock, stock and barrel. On his records that came out they had down their 6 wk old son as the producer, another relative as the song writer. This company made millions off these great artists back in the day. He made millions for them and died a pauper in a seedy, nursing home, penniless. Michael J. was kind enough to buy this great a headstone for his grave otherwise no-one would know who was buried there. He gave us so much pleasure but they just used him up. He died in his early forties, I believe. All that singing and dancing took its toll on Jackie! He was entertaining ppl towards the end just to survive money wise!
Michael Jackson didn't buy JACKIE WILSON head stone, please do your (RESEARCH)!!
Sad the. Record company's did that to many artist
MICHAEL J ? FOX?
GREAT PERFORMER,RIP JACKIE . LOVE THIS VIDEO. GOT THOSE MOVE'S SEXY MAN!!!. .YOU PUT ON A GREAT SHOW, NO WONDER YOU HAD A HEART ATTACK,, I WOULD HAVE TOO!!!WORE ME OUT WATCHING IT!!!
What a Spectacular Legend!
Thank you for posting this LIVE performance of "Mr. Excitement" from the early 1970's. All of Jackie's fans are waiting for the movie of his life and career.
WOW!!! They didn't call him "Mr. Excitement" for nothing.
Jackie Wilson's showmanship and stage presence climaxed @ the 11:10 mark.
Voice of Gold ! Gone to soon.
My mother and her 5 sisters saw Jackie Wilson when they were young. They talked about his show all their lives ...may they all rest in peace! I can certainly see why. Fantastic performer grossly underrated!!
True that...Think Elvis tried to even sound like him...listen close.
This performance was at the famed Santa Monica Civic Auditorium 1973 none other then Art Laboe was the MC.
@@keithchanner Interesting Fact . . . According to Wikipedia, Art Laboe is an American disc jockey, songwriter, record producer, and radio station owner, generally credited with coining the term "Oldies But Goodies". (As of March 4, 2021 Mr. Laboe is still alive at 95 years old!)
The best ever.. he was before my time.. thank god for music history 😊..
I Can See Where Elvis Got All His Accolades From -JACKIE WILSON BABY!!! It Hurts So Much....How They Did This Man So Wrong. I’m Sure Your GOD Given Talents Are Being Rewarded In Heaven!!! R.I.H.P. You Handsome, Talented Hunk Of A Man!!! We Love You...I LOVE YOU!!!

I Thank the Almighty for the blessing of Jackie Wilson! What energy, and what a voice! I can't think of anyone who has such a soaring voice! And he sang with such soul, beauty and power at all of those ranges! Thanks for posting this! Today is Tues. 3-7-2023.
