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!
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.
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
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 .

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!!!!!!!"
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.....................
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.
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
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 .
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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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 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.
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 !!!)
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.
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
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.
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.!!!!
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......
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???!!!
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🎵🎵🎵👍👍👍
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.
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!
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.
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!!!!!!!!!
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. 😏😍😘
There is absolutely NO ONE who set the bar as high as Jackie did. That is what REAL TALENT is. From his look, to his moves, & then to his absolutely incredible voice… nothing like it.
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.
When it comes to male singers, there are 2 categories. Jackie Wilson is one and everyone else is the other. There simply was never a better singer and performer of popular music than Jackie, and this video is all the proof one needs.
Full SOUL! LOVE IT love both songs, but to be love is my fave, thanks for posting, and to those who thumb down, well it's no big deal, you have committed no crime, its just your right to have an opinion, god will eventually forgive you,.!!
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
So beautiful and sentimental! I heard these songs on the radio as a teen, it was an oldies station, but I never got to see the video until today. So, glad I searched it up. 🥰😍
"Jackie Wilson was a God, Michael Jackson was a God when it came down to singing and dancing!!!!!!! They voices and movez were beyond perfection!!!!!!!" #This is real music here
Yes I join wholeheartedly in all the accolades of this super singer. Saw him at the StateTheatre in Kingston Jamaica in the fifties. WHAT A NIGHT OF THRILL, HE WAS BACKED BY SIL.AUSTIN AND HIS BAND. AS HE WALKED DAWN THE ISLE SINGING AT THE SAME TIME, SOME OF THE GIRLS NEARLY FAINTED AS HE MADE THEM HIS PERSONAL OBJECTS !! WHAT A GUY!! WHAT AN ENTERTAINER HE WAS!!. 👏
Ron here. You would think with so many more people on this Earth that talent would be even more great, but no, so blessed to have been alive during that era!
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. 😢

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

No one can compare with the range of Jackie Wilson...he is the king of range and octaves!!!
No auto tune, just a great voice!!!
One of the best singers of all time. He truly had it all...................
his range was amazing. from Soprano to Bass
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.
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.
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
Jackies singing voice was amazing, may he rest in peace .

Everyone loved him so gifted.
I'm so happy they have these clips of him singing live for us to see.

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.

A true star! What a voice!
One of the top five singers of all time . Period !
Jackie Wilson,Otis Redding , Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross and Marvin Gaye, right?

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

And no fuckin auto tune or choreographed steps,just one great singer who moved like no one else!

Don't forget Sam Cooke he was a true pioneer for that time.
He is beautiful man omg
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.

+Christopher Hardy and coming at you from over fifty years of time no less!
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!!!!!!!!!

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. 😏😍😘
There is absolutely NO ONE who set the bar as high as Jackie did. That is what REAL TALENT is. From his look, to his moves, & then to his absolutely incredible voice… nothing like it.
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.
HE WAS THE BEST - Worth a dozen Michael Jacksons.
Dang that's swag gentleman !
The world was blessed to have had such a phenomenal singer in Mr Excitement - the great Jackie Wilson !
no disrepect but Michael Jackson does not even compare to Jackie Wilson
Are you kidding? Michael couldn’t polish Jackie’s shoes.
When it comes to male singers, there are 2 categories. Jackie Wilson is one and everyone else is the other. There simply was never a better singer and performer of popular music than Jackie, and this video is all the proof one needs.
FAR OUT----His suit is perfectly IN STYLE--for 2018-----SO IS his VOICE !!
The Complete Package.
Never a better all around singer. Even sang opera.
Full SOUL! LOVE IT love both songs, but to be love is my fave, thanks for posting, and to those who thumb down, well it's no big deal, you have committed no crime, its just your right to have an opinion, god will eventually forgive you,.!!
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
Great voice and vast energy.
Sullivan (who had seen them all)'s respect really comes across.
Oh what a feeling to be loved. Solid music to be loved
So beautiful and sentimental! I heard these songs on the radio as a teen, it was an oldies station, but I never got to see the video until today. So, glad I searched it up. 🥰😍
"Jackie Wilson was a God, Michael Jackson was a God when it came down to singing and dancing!!!!!!! They voices and movez were beyond perfection!!!!!!!" #This is real music here
Yes I join wholeheartedly in all the accolades of this super singer. Saw him at the StateTheatre in Kingston Jamaica in the fifties. WHAT A NIGHT OF THRILL, HE WAS BACKED BY SIL.AUSTIN AND HIS BAND. AS HE WALKED DAWN THE ISLE SINGING AT THE SAME TIME, SOME OF THE GIRLS NEARLY FAINTED AS HE MADE THEM HIS PERSONAL OBJECTS !! WHAT A GUY!! WHAT AN ENTERTAINER HE WAS!!. 👏
When Eddie Murphy was hitting those notes in coming to America 😂😂😂😂 I love this song man
What a Magnificient ,glamorous unique Musician ..One of the Best of All Times ..Mr. Jackie Wilson!!
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.
I was fortunate to see him at th Brooklyn Paramount..THE BEST OF THE BEST..GREETINGS FROM PUERTO RICO
that voice and those moves god bless you jackie
Ron here. You would think with so many more people on this Earth that talent would be even more great, but no, so blessed to have been alive during that era!
Thank you for Everything ,Jackie ...wish you were with us .R.I.P ...a Big Jackie Wilson Fan.
I’ve never forgotten Jackie, never will.
Ein Original , reines Gold , nicht von dieser Welt ❤❤❤
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. 😢
I love the oldies it had such great music
Jackie Wilson
