    One of my very favorite singers. Elvis went to visit him after his stroke. He got the ceiling. The home wasn't good enough. So Elvis took him out and found a much better facility. Elvis paid his bills until he died. They were friends. FACTS.....

    My compliments to the uploader.....I admire your positive appreciation of Jackie Wilson.
    As a former NYC recording engineer in the late 1960s ; I was fortunate to become friends with Jackie Wilson.....and as you accurately stated in this video, Jackie Wilson was a great and legendary recording artist and extraordinary on stage performer .
    In my my opinion the most talented and gifted rock and roll and rhythm blues recording artist that ever lived....period .
    Sincerely Mike Vallen .

      @@gladysross1163 yes, and the Demon is called PAIN. When people have PAIN they self-medicate. I suspect what you are calling "demonic" is just the effects of substance abuse. Look at the homeless on the streets. Are they demon-possessed or just on drugs? A person on drugs can certainly appear demon-possessed but alas... it is the effects of chemicals on the brain.

      The very ugly side of show business that still exists today. Crooks and vultures who run the companies and steal from their singers. Now these days it’s the rappers who are blatantly murdered. Jackie Wilson like Frankie Lyman had too many woman who had children for him and now fighting over his estate. Entertainers need to be careful hooking up with these many woman because they too got their own reasons to want to get next to them. Jackie Wilson was the ultimate singer and entertainer.

    I've heard different stories about how Jackie Wilson had died but I think it was Nat Turnapaugh who had Jackie Wilson killed due to Jackie Wilson finally getting wise of being ripped off Nat Turnapaugh

    Thanks for all the great video clips and information. Like any person with ears, I have been a fan of Jackie Wilson, The Four Tops, and the great years of Motown, but I had never heard that Jackie and Levi Stubbs w e r e cousins and w e r e also in a band together with Levi's brother Joe. The level of talent on that stage when they performed must have been Beyond imagining.

    It is not stealing when you use someone else's art form. It is imitation. The sincerest form of flattery. Imitating someone shows a great deal of respect and admiration. Most artist "steal" from someone.

    Excellent job here WB. I've enjoyed your other documentaries on Eddie, David and others. From elsewhere, I'm sure they greatly appreciate you doing this and providing the history and insights into their careers and themselves as individuals. You also set the record straight on many things. So great kudos to you.
    There are so great videos on TH-cam of so many performers and for Jackie, the one that stands out to me is him singing and dancing to Baby Workout on ABC's Shindig program. Oh man! Incredible strong and unique voice. Great dancer. Dynamic stage presence and all around entertainer. I'm sorry I never got to see him in person as I'm a little younger than those who came to love him and see him in person. My loss. And the tragedy of his being deceived and taken advantage of, which no doubt was a significant contributor to his health issue and ultimately his passing, just so sad and all of our losses that we could not enjoy him live for more decades.

    Jackie was a smooth cat back in his hey days, with a smooth voice to match. I had no idea he was related to Levi Stubb of the Four Tops but is quite shocked to hear of the allegations made by Patty Labelle as Jackie doesn't seem the kind of dude to result to sexually assaulting any woman, being the ladies' man he was. The name Mr. Excitement definitely fits his character as one of the greatest performers of that era. The movie "Coming to America" uses one of Jackie's songs "To be Loved" which is one of his well-known top hits. His money problems due to mismanagement and the last years of his life were so sad and heartbreaking. I always say a biopic movie should be done on this great artist. Hopefully someone will make that happen. Much love to you Jackie, R.I.P

    • @nursemcfarlane6655
      @nursemcfarlane6655 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      False. Two different types of voices. Sam. Cooke was smooth and consistent. Jackie varied, clearly higher pitch.

    Even though he was playing the oldies circuit on that album he had updated his style to the mid 70s.

    Incredibly sad story. I notice little was said of drug or alcohol abuse, He looked consistently in good shape in this video. So what drug contributed to the heart attack or was it just the cigs? Great video, but I would also have liked to know why he never left Brunswick for Motown, or did I just miss that part?. He obviously knew Berry Gordy who wrote Reet Petite.. The photos in this video just tear your heart out. Great work!

    • @autumnsmom1117
      @autumnsmom1117 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I saw a play about Jackie Wilson some years ago. In a scene it showed how Berry Gordy was starting Motown and wanted Jackie Wilson to join, but his recording company made promises to him and he stayed. Sadly, they didn't come true. That famous window scene in The Five Heartbeats was really regarding him.

    Can you just imagine how many performers we could cancel by claims of stealing styles, moves, techniques? 90% of female singers imitate Madonna. Pop culture controls what people like and dont , Pretty much every UK performer claimed that they were inspired by Elvis. I’ve always understood most Black performers respected and liked Elvis. We all know where and how he grew up. True that most thought Elvis was black when first hearing him but many black performers of that time said Elvis opened doors for them as the entire genre benefited.
