MJ worshipped Jackie. He always said he studied Jackie, James Brown, and Astaire. When Michael spoke about black artists not getting paid properly for their work, he repeatedly mentioned Jackie. Michael Jackson honored Jackie Wilson at the 1984 Grammy Awards Jackson dedicated his Album of the Year Grammy for Thriller to Wilson, saying, "In the entertainment business, there are leaders and there are followers. And I just want to say that I think Jackie Wilson was a wonderful entertainer...Jackie, wherever you are I want to say I love you and thank you so much."
lisa boland Oh wow! How kind of Michael to give him that recognition! Thanks for sharing that information.
It’s cool how respectful michael was no matter how big he was
Nice... Rest easy Jackie & Michael.
Let's not forget Little Richard, MJ gave him back his music rights worth around 40 million.

That knee drop and stand back up is an insanely great move
And this was was Elvis"s first.. he did it in concert. This video shoes no where near the talent of Elvis Presley! Look at the video , did Micheal Jackson copy elvis presley. It shows Elvis did the moon. Walk first, in concert ( both side side ways and backwards that MJ was given so mucredit fot)Elvis could still a crowd to hear a pin drop with gospel in concert. Michel couldn't. The. Toe. Toe thing was Elvis, the jumpers Micheal started out in were Elvis,down the way he held his fingers out when he sang, all of his clothes, falling in to the floor and coming up was Elvis, Elvis true range was phenomenal. That's why he's in all halls of fame.. I'd love to try and hear mj sing ' if I can drean". Mj sang q song at the grammys and almost past out. Elvis did 2 90 shows a min that included songs that used his entire body. And by the way his movements conducted his drummer, horns and back up Singers. The man was a prodigy. Even the great Pavarotti called him one. You want to hear his range listen to Danny boy, crying in the chapel, how great thou art live...the power. There's nothing like it. Oh, and he's even studied in college music classes. Those of you who don't know Elvis best, don't know Elvis career and didn't know this was fixed to look bad. Oh, and in concert watch, the highest parts on the songs are sang by the drummer. Freddy sings them in part. But Drummer mostly. Do yourself a favor and realize, without bias, he was the first. Watch Did Michael Jackson copy elvis presley, (even down to putting sounds and stupid words in songs)Elvis in the black community part 1 and 2, the kind Elvis. Then realize what he did for civil rights. His charity almost broke him. The 50 million that video talks about, consider inflation. Then let's talk about free concerts that wasn't included in that, homes he bought for people he didn't know, mortgages he paid off.. yeah I'll stack him up against Micheal any day of the week!
@@lisamitchell7317 Will you please give the name of the stuff that you're on because clearly it's the greatest hallucinogen ever in the history of always because everything that you said in that beyond ridiculous and objectively false diatribe could only have come from someone that was on something.
Good lord, you Elvis revisionists need a new hobby because coming online to LIE is getting old at this point.

it might be eternal,that move
Jackie didn't just make odd vocal noises to go with his singing, he was also big on grooving his body, hand claps and clicking his fingers. He was singing with all of his body.
Robert: Love your comment. Very insightful.
Michael Jackson's "odd vocal noises" are the unfelt unknown scatting abilities of blk people.
The Supreme rhythm of us. Ella..Satchmo..Duke...Cab.etc
If YOU have problem with it...sounds like YOU'RE from the non-rhythm nation.
That move from on his knees to on his feet again!
Didn't know they had Lego's back then.
Michael Browning He did that all the time. Splits too!
I think he was really inspired by the Nicholas Brothers, with his incredible, dance moves. They were phenomenal. I loved Higher and Higher, by Jackie. On the Great Sam Cooke; would be great if you could do either, 'Cupid,'or 'Summertime, ' Fil. Thanks for the analysis of another blessed talent; Jackie Wilson.
The amount of rehearsing, dedication to his art coupled with the expression through dance and a phenomenal vocal talent, there is only one Jackie, a unique performer.
It is nice to see so many people still into his music. He was my Uncle when I was a kid. I love and miss him very much. Thank you for keeping his memories alive.
I see a resemblance in your eyes. I am just being introduced to Jackie and I am blown away! Elvis was a Jackie Wilson impersonator! M.J. too.
He wss married to my Aunt. Not a blood relationship but No loved him like one.
Jackie Wilson influenced everyone. A cornerstone of music in the second half of the century.
The man was born to be on stage he LOVES to sing and has to move because he can't stop himself. Thank God for Ed Sullivan we saw so many stars being born I never missed the show back in the day :-)
Had Jackie known this would last through history he would have said no. This didn't even come close to the music accompaniment that was the original record.
True story....Jackie was performing in the mid-sixties in California, two shows sat and sun, but was having trouble selling tickets. So Elvis told one of his crew to let it be known he was going to go to both shows. The shows then sold out and Elvis was at both shows taking a break from shooting a movie and keeping his word.
Jackie in an interview once said he always thought he would be a DJ. When asked if he had one hour on the radio to play whatever he wanted Jackie said he would play nothing but Elvis. Jackie has been quoted as saying nobody sings blues better than Elvis. They were great friends.
I think Van Morrison has a song called "Jackie Wilson Said". What a talent. Glad you let the video play through, since there is no stopping Jackie.
Jackie Wilson was a phenomenal performer, we used to learn his dance moves for the weekend dance offs @ our local dance hall, 'Marvel Hall' I used to love watching him perform.... 'Lonely Tear Drops' was our Anthem! Loved your break down on Jackie, Filip, ...., Another Artist that was ripped off financially of that time, YES, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! I didn't know how Jackie died, that's very sad...
Besides the great variety of genres, the great analysis, I love seeing the joy on your face watching these great entertainers perform.
Agreed. Unselfish. A joy. 💕
Just awesome!!!! Vocally and the way he moves!!! Man, super cool! I can see why Elvis was inspired by him.
You're a groovy guy, Phil.
Sadly Jackie Wilson, was another artist who left this earth to soon. great to have these television performances of Jackie to enjoy. great analysis Fil.
Jackie was way ahead of his time !!!!!! Great review !!! Love it !!
I loved Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke in 1962, but I was only 8.
Mary Margaret Moore Live Sam Cooke
You were about to pause it, and I was like "don't do it!" That guy was overflowing with talent.
So true!!!❤️
me too lol
YES, PHIL , JACKIE WILSON WAS A GREAT SOUL / RHYTHM & BLUES SINGER --- WITH A SUPERB VOCAL RANGE !! BEYOND MOST SINGERS IN HIS FIELD OF MUSIC. JOHN UK.
Jackie is awesome 😁 the range of his voice and this amazing ability to make you want to dance with his voice alone and then you you see him dance😃 can't stay still
You never cease to amaze me with all of the work that is put into your channel, Excellent video and analysis! ^m^
A mix of Sammy Davis Jr, Elvis, Little Richard, James Brown, and probably more.
Love Sammy Davis
No offense, but Elvis, Little Richard & James Brown were his contemporaries. Jackie was his own unique being--not a mixture of anyone.
@@seriesscratchx9807 No, I only meant that he reminded me of them not who influenced who. (or whom, whichever it is) Although all performers can be influenced by living people, if they are aware of them. I believe. Michael Jackson was influenced by James Brown who was older, but it doesn't rule out that James Brown could have gained some influence back from Michael. Though I don't know that he did. Pretty sure our host is influenced by living and dead performers, older and younger.
@@rexwine True. Though from what I've heard, James Brown's & Jackie Wilson's egos (I knew someone who was a close friend of James) wouldn't have allowed either of them to admit any influence from the other.
There are interviews with James Brown where he acknowledges Elvis’ influence - he referred to him as Soul Brother #1 and the man who “taught white America to get down”...don’t know how he felt about Jackie, but he and others like Otis Redding acknowledged a debt to Little Richard - and most of their early efforts were an attempt to cash in on The Georgia Peach’s style and sound.
This video blew my mind because my parents watched Ed Sullivan every Sunday. I was only 6 in 1962 but remember this! It made an impression and l remember vividly trying to dance around like that afterwards and singing..I'm Jackie! I'm Elvis!..like a little fool, and my parents laughing lol. So entertaining with the great vocals, the style, the moves & dancing and stage presence.. even as a 6 year old it made an impression on me. Funny how some things stay in your memory! Jackie was a great unique artist. So very sad how things ended for him. Thanks Fil! Excellent in depth analysis and a trip back in time for me! 😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
We watched Ed Sullivan every Sunday too.
For those who haven't seen it before, this link is my little gift to Fil & everyone enjoying Mr. Excitement: th-cam.com/video/8AXkfhqvO44/w-d-xo.html. Yes, Jackie had so many admirers from the 1950s up through the 21st century. This included all the major stars of Motown. Even Bruce Springsteen covered his songs.
There is something about Jackie that automatically puts a big smile on my face. Is it his snapping fingers, his incredible dance moves, or his vocal gymnastics? It's all that & more.
It is heartbreaking to hear of the way his life ended. He devoted his life to bringing us joy & I guess we just have to remember him & thank him for that.
The great Jackie Wilson. I'd advise everybody to get his greatest hits compilation - such an inspirational and influential artist, Van Morrison was inspired enough to write his song "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)".
What a performer! He used his whole body as well as his voice. I well remember 'Reet Petite' and a couple of others but I've never seen a live performance before. And how did he get back up to the standing position from being on his knees? Good one Fil.
A young songwriter named Berry Gordy used to write songs for Jackie Wilson including this one. He used the proceeds from his songs to found Motown records which of course signed 10 year old Michael Jackson to his record label almost 10 years to the date of this songs debut
Yes sir. Eddie Holland would sing some of the early Berry written compositions on demos for JW. Sounded a lot like JW.
There was nothing like Jackie, though he seems a little hoarse here. Sam Cooke is the most influential vocalist of the Pop/R&B era, but everyone stole Jackie's stage act. Anyone that plays with a mike stand imitates him. I once saw him start by playing with the stand by rocking it forward and back toward him. He then pitched it forward so far that when it came back to him it fell to the ground. He did a spin, fell to his knees and caught it before it hit the floor in his hand, with his knees under him, back on the floor, perfectly at his mouth, never missing the beat or the lyric. Try him doing "To Be Loved", also on The Ed Sullivan Show. Incredible range, power and vocal flexibility. Mr. Excitement, Jackie Wilson. On the Ed Sullivan Show, all of the acts had to perform live. Another excellent reaction. When Jackie went into a coma (which lasted 7 years) Elvis paid for most of his hospital bills, Dick Clarke paid for his plot and tombstone.
nothing like him? th-cam.com/video/MG7KCOO76Wc/w-d-xo.html
Red Baron Farm Are you kidding me? Lol. That doesn’t even come close. Besides, that’s a note for note copy of an Isley Brothers song.
@@MsAppassionata Note for note. I saw the Isley Brothers back in the day do this song.
@@redddbaron Yes. Nothing close. Before the age of 12 I saw over 200 live music acts, starting at the age of 3 years old. I saw Smokey Robinson 5 times, The Tempatations 3 times, Marvin Gaye, Little Anthony and The Imperials 5 times, The Supremes twice, Jay and the Americans 3 times, Tony Williams and the Platters, Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King and many, many more. Not only could Jackie sing light opera but he could sing pop, R&B, R&R, gospel, and standards...and this has nothing to do with his stage act which everyone stole from. When he was informed that James Brown had stolen much of his stage act (as best as he could) Jackie just shrugged. That kind of stuff was unimportant to him---and as I mentioned, everyone that you see that plays with the microphone stand and the microphone cable stole from Jackie. Now yes, everyone that sings R&B, and R&B/Pop, copied from Sam Cooke who invented the idea of the "soul" singer, but the idea of the dynamic performer, the athletic singer/crooner, that was Jackie. Jackie collapsed on stage of a heart attack in 1975 and remained in a coma until 1984. A sad end to the man I believe is the greatest singer to come out of the early R&R era.
Hel Gar So did I.
If there are any young singers wanting to start practising cleanly jumping on notes like Jackie Wilson, start with 'All that I am' by Elvis
I've always been about 20 years behind in my musical tastes. I'm an 80s kid by birth. But I grew up listening to 50s-60s music when it was already considered "oldies".
I love this song and his voice!
You're not kidding, "the Michael Jackson of his day". Just watched a different song called "Workout" - holy cow, how does he do that?!
The late 50,s , 60,s & 70,s have produced what we can now call real handmade music played by real musicians. I was right in the middle of all that. It left an amazing musical legacy!
Yesica1993 You should have seen him live if you think that’s something. OMG! They didn’t call him Mr. Excitement for nothing. I can tell you that.
@@MsAppassionata
That would have been worth being 20 years older for! When I was a kid I was heartbroken that I was born so late. I missed SO much!
Yesica1993 I got to see him live. My very first concert experience. I was about 11 or 12 at the time. Got to meet him once too. Experiences I will never forget for as long as I live.
Baby Workout is the best live tv performance I’ve seen of JW. I hear his live shows were CRAZY. All his tv appearances, as good as they are, paled in comparison to his concerts, Fox Theatre and Apollo appearances. I’m sad I never got to see them
I’m an oldie, myself, and just discovered your videos when you analyzed Adam Lambert’s “Believe” video from the Kennedy Center. Now I’m addicted and need to watch all of them! Your channel is so much fun! My son (about your age) is a musician as well as a music promoter, and I send him all of these because he loves old soul and old rock n roll and collects the songs on 45.
P. S. Your smile is the best smile I’ve ever seen in my life! May God bless you! Thanks for the joy you’ve given this our lady! ❤
Jackie was very underrated. The thing with Elvis went back to Vegas ‘56 when Elvis caught the Dominoes and Jackie performed his version of Don’t Be Cruel (you can hear Elvis talking about it and doing Jackie doing Elvis on The Million Dollar Quartet tapes)...and Elvis was the one who paid for Jackie’s medical care after his hospitalisation in ‘75...which impressed Ruth Brown when she found out about it.
Thanks for the info on Elvis paying forJackie's medical care. As you probably know, many major stars from the 60s up to the present LOVED Jackie.
Elvis did pay for his medical bills but not all of it. I respect Elvis for doing that.
Elvis"s estate even paid the bills after Elvis"s death. This was per his son. His son also stated how when Jackie couldn't fill a room,or other black artists couldn't fill a venue, Elvis would call his buddies and head to the venue. He knew the singers were great and their race was the problem. But Elvis knew where he went, and people followed. And people figured if he was going to listen, they had to be great. Elvis would go, sit up front, leave before the end so the artist would get due credit. This was all per Jackie's son.
Lisa: Interesting about Elvis doing that. Marilyn Monroe did something similar for Ella Fitzgerald. The white club Ella was supposed to sing at backed out. Marilyn said that she, Marilyn, would sit in the front row for Ella or not return to that club. Marilyn was a big draw. The club changed its mind. Ella sang there.
I think I pulled a muscle just watching him dance 😂
😂 Steven buddy. I needed that laugh. As a singer myself, minus the dancing you have to time everything and he created his own his own style Jackie. Which Elvis did too.
Absolute perfection! I think this is my most favorite of all your analysis! Seriously brilliant..
What an analysis - your command of subject matter is so impressive Fil. I would add that the body control of Jackie was unreal, and this was also clearly the prototype for MJ.
I like how Jackie Wilson is rolling his eyes back into his head like he's having a seizure in this performance.
Fantastic artist and superb analysis
Well shit
I haven't heard that song in decades.
Thanks for the flashback to my school days (late 70s, early 80s) when I used to listen to these oldies pretty constantly, mixed amongst my rock, country and metal albums as well (much to the consternation of my friends who always listened to just a single genre...my mixed tapes were quite varied...lol)
The moves, the voice and the groove...talent in spades and he could pull tears from concrete.
And he was very attractive and looked good in his clothes.
So talented and seemed to love his music! Very sad his life ended on such a painful way. Great analysis Fil👌👋🇬🇧
Thank you for spotlighting this amazing era and Jackie Wilson. You have great taste!!!
From the way Jackie was moving across the floor, I can see where Michael Jackson got the Moonwalk from.
Great info on the singer and his ability! I've always enjoyed Jackie and his songs.
This was on, " The Ed Sullivan Show." He gave many singers and groups their start in becoming popular, back then. Jackie had a great voice and very entertaining.
Mr. Excitement, the guy my dad modeled his dancing from.
Thank you so much for doing a Jackie Wilson analysis. I decided many years ago if I ever married to have Jackie's song To Be Loved as my wedding song.. such a beautiful tune.. I learned a couple of years back about his heart attack when watching a docco about him. So awful that someone so talented and vibrant would lay in a semi comatose state for 9 years before passing. What a legend he was ♥
You smiled all through Jackie's performance Fil and rightly so....such joyous music. Discovered Jackie in my teens in the 70s..I was definitely born too late.
I was only 3 at that time. I honestly don't remember much about Jackie. He does have a great voice.
Jackie Wilson just threw his whole self into his performances. He was like a skyrocket - like a bright explosion.
Bob Seger used to throw those little noises in his singing too. I especially loved the song I've Been Working! Bob is a classic example of this. Thanks a bunch Fil! Peace! 🤘
Thank you for this informative story on Jackie, Fil. He was a such a joy to hear, and see performing.
Amazing analysis as usual Fil. Really, you're telling the truth about the pitfalls of these leeching industries is very important & much appreciated. To have so much talent & success & hard work to end up like Jackie did..what a terrible tragedy.
Thank you for choosing this choice clip by The one & only Jackie W. As a small child I loved his music & ability to entertain the audience. Loved your analysis and bit of unfortunately sad Jackie history. Fabulous episode!! RIP
Thank you so much for all that you do. I love it when a video entertains me, informs me and educates me. It pleases me to see the younger generation appreciating an earlier generation. Love your channel (and hair). Perfect!
Jackie Wilson not only had the gift of voice and movement but , also class and a tone of it !
Regarding TV performances, I remember seeing Herman’s Hermits on some daytime show years ago and the instruments were clearly not being played. When Peter Noone came to the mic, he clapped along with the music before he started singing. I realized that he did that to show that the vocals were live.
And, on topic, Jackie was a great performer.
Thanks for the spotlight on this. I had no idea of this man. That was the year I was born yet I probably am not aware of many of the performers of that time. I'm always a little surprised. Cheers for uploading this.
Loved Higher and Higher from him😊
I totally agree with all you said in this video. Jackie Wilson really did set himself apart from everyone else with his unique singing and dance moves. I like it when he would roll his r's , for example in the song Right Now.
Totally smile inducing. My cheeks hurt from grinning. I nearly expected a moon walk to go with the vocal tics. Excellent
Been singing Reet Petite all day :)
Looking back, the animated version is "questionable". Got Jackie the exposure though.
Wonder if he played darts?
I love this song. Such a distinctive voice.
Dude! Too bad you never got the chance to see him live. Watching him on tv just doesn’t capture the excitement of his live performances. The first concert I ever saw featured him and the women, both black and white, went CRAZY. He did splits, toyed with the microphone (lots of people, including Prince, copied that) and when he swung his jacket around pretending like he was going to throw it into the audience the women were frantically grabbing for it (I’m sure they would had ripped it to shreds had he done that) he then threw it over his shoulder as he did here. It’s a performance I will never forget. The Four Seasons were the headliners of that concert and they were very popular at the time but even they were afraid to go on after him. They let Jackie finish the opening half of the show and then there was a slight intermission after which the Seasons finished the second half. I was fortunate enough to get to meet him once but was too shy to say anything other than “Hi” but it was a thrill nonetheless.
I ha e heard his stage concerts were intense and NOTHING like what’s seen on the few tv performances he has
Jackie Wilson was one of my favorites of all time! This performance was stellar to the max! You can't take your eyes or ears off him. No one was like him. Some came close but I think they knew he was the master. Thank you for this analysis, Fil!
One of the first songs I ever danced to at school. Jackie Wilson was absolutely amazing!
Wow, I am thrilled that you chose to analyze one of my favorite performers, JW. I still never tire of listening to him (and watching his moves!); I often wonder during performances whether they are live or not. when there is no band apparent it's hard to tell. thank you for describing how it was done here live! when you refer to chart number do you mean in England or USA? Hep, hep!
Jackie and Sam Cooke, two of the greatest pop voices of all time. I'm surprised you didn't mention Reet Petite, that song revived in the 80's in the UK after being used in a commercial that posthumously shot him to #1. Please ca you do another video on Jackie he was so unique vocally I'm sure you could do at least one more.
Fil, This was one of my favorites that you have done. That is a tragic story of an artist totally screwed over by someone in the business. Thank you for this tribute. As someone who hate lip-syncing, I'm glad that you explained that the performance was live and that the mic was out of view.
I believe even James Brown said he was influenced by Jackie's moves.
Here's a video analysis suggestion Fil. Do an analysis of one of the great precursor's of rock n roll and someone Chuck Berry said he admired, Louie Jordan. He started his own movie company to promote his music with music videos, called soundies back in the 1940's. Now I don't know if any of those videos could be considered live performances; though they're a lot of fun to watch, but I have seen one really good live video from a French TV appearance Louie did in 1974. Unlike other Louie Jordan TV performances, the song's rhythm isn't being pushed to the point of ruining the song. Look for Louie Jordan - There Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens (Live 1974). Plus, you get to see some great interaction between Louie and members of his band. Actually, here's a link for Fil or anyone else who would like to check it out. th-cam.com/video/KUNQl5sanHM/w-d-xo.html
There's absolutely nothing you could want from a singer that Jackie couldn't do. No other r&b, rock or pop singer had his vocal abilities. He simply was the best you'll ever hear, with all due respect to Sam Cooke and the great Tony Williams of the Platters.
I saw him live when I was a kid! I remember him being dynamic and in charge!
As a West Indian person who loves music of the black diaspora, I’m so happy you are analyzing Jackie Wilson. He would have been a hit on the Chitlin circuit and the Apollo. Black people like myself are hard on our artistes, which is why they were so exceptional in the past because we’ll boo you if you’re trash. By the way those noises were not done for white audiences but were done for black ones. Even when we speak as blacks we can have short convos without words. I love your TH-cam channel by the way, please never stop. Luv from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Such a great singer and performer! Thanks for sharing! Guys like Jackie, Wilson Picket and Otis Redding put their all into their performance and the emotion is infectious! ✌🏻🎼
OMG! I've never heard this before! Thanks!
He most certainly was the MJ of his time. Mr. Excitement predated Motown and helped establish R&B as a legit musical art form. Like many others of that era, he was taken advantage of by his agent and his record company. However you can see his pure talent on display here and that can never be taken away.
Never knew about this guy till today. Quite a good singer.
This performance by Jackie Wilson is beyond analyzing or breaking down….Mr.Excitement…Was like Elvis and Michael…Naturally born with incredible talent….and charisma….Jackie talked about Elvis….When asked who he would listen to for an hour….. I f he had to pick someone…Jackie without hesitation said…Elvis Presley….Elvis was in awe of Jackie’s skill on stage….As was Michael….I am so blown away by this performance….Note….This was 1962….Elvis sang Return to Sender in 62….Supposedly Jackie was there when it was recorded for Girls…Girls….Girls….And some see mild similarities in Elvis’s dance moves….Great Channel!
Great stuff Fil,soul dancing love it ❤
What a voice & moves ! ✌😎
So smooth, it looks as easy as breathing for Jackie ! 😉

Gotta get some classic rock in mate... thank you !
Everytime i watch these 60,s & 70,s video,s i realize how Lucky and fortunated i was having so many great artists back then. It was the greatest music era ever and still strong today and will be in years and years to come ! A bit concerned for the generations comming up. Kids now have no idea what real music even was or is.
A very compelling analysis, Fil.
I never seem to have the language to explain why I like what I like when it comes to the songs and performers I so thoroughly enjoy. Once again, you came through, helping me over that hurdle, this time with the amazing Jackie Wilson.
Thank you!
I just love the singers from this era. Excellent vocals, great stage presence, and Jackie truly seems to be enjoying himself. Interesting analysis Fil (as usual). Thanks so much.
Thanks Fil. What a sad end for such a talented man. I try not to wish ill on people, but I hope everyone in the record industry who robbed their hardworking and talented musicians had/have to answer for these crimes their afterlife. It makes me angry to know that musicians, who brought us so much joy with their music, were treated so very badly.
I loved that song. It was hard to be sad with that rhythm, and delivery. I had never seen him perform it until now.
somewhat of a sad story about a very talented guy that never grasped the full success he deserved; thank you for telling it
Thank you for good analysis of so many different artists, want to suggest Terry Reid, you probably are familiar with his works, but not sure his work is much known. Thank you.
Its wonderful how artists inspired , and learnt from each other
Another artist who had problems with his management. I hope young artists today have good advice.
I'm glad he how has a decent grave where people can pay their respects.
OH I LOVE JACKIE WILSON😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍THANK YOU FIL💖💖💖💖💖
I can say that I didn't discover Jackie Wilson until I was in my mid 30's in the mid 90's. I sure wish I could have seen him live, much less known about his extraordinary talent before then. I still have the tape given to me by one of my co workers because he saw how much I liked Jackie's performances.
Great performer
What a gifted performer Jackie Wilson was.Thank you for your awesome video.Love your videos.They are addictive
Thank you so much for this deep dive into the life of Jackie Wilson. Makes me fall deeper in love with the artistry and appreciate how far the music industry has come today with making sure the artists come first and they get fair recognition along with the proper financings, but there’s still so much more work to be done.
Jackie was for sure a very energetic dancer and an expressiive vocalist that inspired many after him. I didn't know about his tragic death and financial problems. Thanks Fil for cover that bit of history of a man that would sock it to 'em with his dashing style that proved to be a real crowd pleaser.
😎👍🏼🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶
You’re breakdowns of music, artists’ backgrounds, etc are priceless! Thank you!
my mom saw him live in Miami..she said it was the greatest night of her life
Sad story, but we are fortunate that there are videos that live on for us to appreciate.
Wow! That performance blew me away! Awesome video, and an excellent analysis as always keep them coming!
It's impossible to evaluate Jackie Wilson. He was music so above and beyoud. Higher and Higher is my mantra. Peace
Great analysis Fil!
Hi Fil! Now you are talking! I sure remember this great performer! I was 16 yrs old when this song was playing! Jackie had moves like no other! As you take me back to that time I realize how very lucky I was to have witnessed the birth of rock n roll! I was 10 when Elvis was starting, and he ushered in all kinds of music...our parents were not excited, but we loved it! Thanks for this one! ✌️
I’m a sixty’s child of Rock so this was about ten yrs before my teen time. My older sister played this music on her record player and I remember her in Bobby socks dancing in her room. I’d spy on her and her friends. So much fun!!😄
What a performance! 👏👏👏👏 love it! Entertainment? Ohhhh yes, lol. Thanks for the great analysis on this great performer Fil!
