The Very Best of Jackie Wilson

Amazon.com
Among the greatest rock & roll singers ever, and maybe the most technically accomplished vocalist of the rock era, Jackie Wilson is an R&B legend. His sky-high range, intense emotionalism, and jaw-dropping stage presence have influenced nearly every significant R&B singer from James Brown to Michael Jackson. This 24-song collection ranges from his earliest hit, "Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Want To Meet)"--as giddy an expression of pure joy as may ever have been put to vinyl--all the way up to later hits like the glorious Motown-style 1966 smash "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me (Higher and Higher)." --David Cantwell

I got it 2 weeks late, and got another one 2 days later, so now I need to
return one of the CD's .

jackie the giant.......2007-01-19

Jackie Wilson is another example of a superstar whose accomplishments are forgotten or neglected by history.An aspiring opera singer, a former boxer;he was a man who's vocal range was remarkable.He was one of the few artists that charted on both the rhythm and blues and pop charts.Jackie was so charismatic that his mere smile would have women swooning in groves.Jackie,not Teddy Pendergrast, was the one who originally hosted 'women only' concerts,to standing-room audiences!This collection lacks two important songs-"At Last" and "Danny Boy"The latter is one of the most heart-felt and vocally beautiful rendering of any song I've ever heard.The former is one of his charted pop tunes ,and showed the amazing versatility of the man. Jackie was the original "hardest working man in show business" long before James Brown claimed the title,and his boxing background enabled him to demonstrate some mind-blowing moves on stage.I hope God "lifted him higher." Jackie Wilson-A Legend.

The Very Best of Jackie Wilson.......2006-11-03

Jackie Wilson was a great artist, and the music on this CD is energetic and some of his best hits.

Superb single-disc Jackie Wilson compilation.......2005-12-22

As is typical for the UK Ace label, they were ahead of the curve with this 1987 release, gathering together Wilson's essential sides, and filling out a 24-track menu (62 minutes) with well selected rarities that span Wilson's entire career. Rhino's similarly titled single-disc retrospective checks in with eight fewer cuts, and the revitalized Brunswick's 2002 collection ("20 Greatest Hits") with four less. Masters are a mix of mono (1-3, 7, 9, 11-12, 15-16) and stereo (4-6, 8, 10, 13-14, 17-24). Those who want a more extensive catalog of Wilson's career (including a look at his earliest work with Billy Ward & The Dominoes, and a deeper helping of his early '70s soul sides) should look for a copy of Rhino's out-of-print 3-CD "Mr. Excitement," but most will be perfectly satisfied by this collection.

One of the best R+B singers of his generation.......2005-01-17

Jackie Wilson, whose style of music was at the R+B end of the rock'n'roll spectrum, had a long string of hits in America during the fifties and sixties but it was only in the eighties that he made any real impact in Britain (a few years after he died) following the use of one of his songs in a TV commercial.
UK fans will recognize Reet petite (a number one UK hit) and two other major UK hits, I get the sweetest feeling and Your love has lifted me higher and higher (a song that has been covered by many other singers including Dolly Parton and Rita Coolidge). All these songs had been huge American hits for Jackie in the fifties and sixties.

Among Jackie's other American hits, this collection includes Lonely teardrops, That's why I love you so, Night, To be loved, I'll be satisfied, Whispers getting louder and A woman a lover a friend.

It is amazing that Jackie made little impact in the UK during his lifetime but, helped by the Commodores' tribute song (Nightshift) and some TV commercials, he has gained a measure of posthumous recognition.

This collection provides an excellent introduction to Jackie's music including all the tracks that really matter.

A brilliant and very influential singer.......2003-12-27

Jackie Wilson, who style of music was at the R+B end of the rock'n'roll spectrum, had a long string of hits in America during the fifties and sixties but it was only in the eighties that he made any real impact in Britain (a few years after he died) following the use of one of his songs in a TV commercial.

All these songs had been huge American hits for Jackie in the fifties and sixties.

Among Jackie's other American hits, this collection includes Lonely teardrops, That's why I love you so, Night, To be loved, I'll be satisfied, Whispers getting louder and A woman a lover a friend.

This compilation also includes Jackie's distinctive cover of Danny Boy as well as four tracks featuring Count Basie, two featuring LaVern Baker and three gospel duets with Linda Hopkins.

It is amazing that Jackie made little impact in the UK during his lifetime but, helped by the Commodores' tribute song (Nightshift) and some TV commercials, he has gained a measure of posthumous recognition. It is ironic that this UK compilation is the best single-CD collection of his music.
