The Greatest-On His Worst Day.......2005-11-30

I was conditioned to believe that nobody can beat Jackie Wilson
as a singer/entertainer by an uncle who knew Jackie's manager and
once sort of "acted" as a bodyguard for the great singer at New York's Apollo Theatre;apparently it was impossible to keep females away from the stage.Like my uncle,I just don't think anyone does it better. And for all the "Irishmen" out there,check out Jackie's version of 'Danny Boy' on this album.

Jackie Wilson At His Best.......2005-11-30

Jackie Wilson was the consummate artist: a voice that was as smooth as honey on moon beams, gravity-defying dance steps and great looks. He was Elvis before there was an Elvis. As a youngster, I saw many of his incredible performances at the Apollo--shows that represent some of the best memories of my life. Unfortunately, this is Jackie's only live album. For those not fortunate to have witnessed his live performance, I simply say it was unlike any other. This album, my all-time favorite, represents a nice sample of the broad spectrum of musical genres he mastered. No one, including Elvis, could touch him. When you saw Jackie, or heard his voice, you had to believe in God--for talent like his could come from no other source.

The Real Deal!!!.......2004-08-03

This record is one of the greatest live records ever made by an R&B Artist. It is well recorded and it ranks right up there with James Brown at the Apollo and BB King at the Regal. The listener will get an authentic taste of the greatest soul performer that ever lived. I used to go to the Regal Theater often in my younger days and I caught many a show by this man. The only person who ever came near Jackie in performance (voice and dance steps)is Michael Jackson. Jackie needed no pyrotechnics, dancing girls or backup singers, he was the whole package by himself. Check out St. James Infirmary, That's Why I Love You So and my favorite song on this record, This Is My Beloved and you will know who the real king of soul was. I have a lot of records but this one is special. So was Jackie Wilson.

Jackie Wilson Live - Nothing Gets Better.......2006-04-08

For those of you not privileged enough to have seen the man Elvis imitated and revered (check out the King's own words on the Million Dollar Quartet CD about the fellow singing "Don't Be Cruel" in Vegas-he is referring to Jackie, as the lead singer of Billy Ward's Dominoes) and thought was the greatest singer, take a listen. As a kid, I saw Jackie a dozen or so times and still get goose bumps thinking about his riveting live performances. Unfortunately, this is his only live album-at least that I am aware of. Remember, this performance is at one of the premier white establishments of its day - the famed Copacabana. In Sam Cooke's initial performance there, he bombed because he brought the wrong act. He could have taken a page from Jackie, who mixed his soul material with music the Copa crowd liked. It's called audience adaptation. And he pulls it off beautifully. Most performers desperately try to live up to the way they sound on their CD's. Jackie's live performances were always better because his talent was too immense to be properly displayed in this manner. His voice could crack glasses, his moves defied gravity and his charisma was legendary. So while you listen to this gem, keep in mind the audience he is performing in front of. It will explain his banter between songs. Pay especially close attention to his abbreviated version of "Danny Boy," my all-time favorite song, and "the transcendent "To Be Loved." No one ever did it better than "Mr. Excitement."

Mr.Excitement truly one of a Kind.......2004-07-11

Jackie Wilson Live was no joke.now while some of His Studio Material was so-so as time went on to truly appreciate this Legend you gotta Hear Him Live.Live He was was unstoppable.His Voice took a whole different gear&went into full overdrive.and the range of the Man was Amazing.He has Influenced so many Artists.

Jackie Wilson's "Live at the Copa" CD simply blew my mind. I have never heard him in such a state. "Love for Sale," "Body and Soul", "This is My Beloved," and most especially "I Apologize" take Jackie Wilson to another level. I've always loved his music but those four songs gave me new respect for his artistic abilities.
