4 out of 5 stars Almost Complete.......2006-06-17

I would have given this CD 5 stars if were not missing his rendition of "Danny Boy" which shows his vocal range and control like no other.

5 out of 5 stars A Hero of the Younger Michael Jackson.......2004-10-27

Jackie Wilson could really work a crowd; after the height of his career, he was doing just that on stage at a Dick Clark oldies show, when he was stricken, his brain was oxygen-deprived and he spent his last years in a bed. Before that, Jackie gave us some heartfelt music, some hits bigger than others. This CD contains all you will need to know Jackie Wilson, the classic "Lonely Teardrops", "Doggin' Around" (overlooked in some conservative markets for its flipside "Night") "Talk that Talk" and the latter day "Higher and Higher". These are the hits. Enjoy them.

5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF R&B!!!!!!!!.......2004-09-20

I LOVE JACKIE WILSON HE IS ALL OF THAT. I LIKE HIS MUSIC HE SINGS WELL. HE LEFT US SOON TOO BAD. I WISH THA HE WAS HERE TODAY AND THAT WE COULD EJY HIS MUSIC MORE. I LIKE THIS ALBUM I LIKE JACKIE WILSON . HE SING VERY WELL HE SUNG SOME NICE SONGS. I LIKE ALL OF THE SONGS ON HERE:YOU BETTER STOP DOGGIN ME AROUND , A WOMAN, A LOVER, A FRIEND WERE COVERED BY THIS GROUP CALLED KLIQUE. THEY HAD DID A GOOD JOB THE LEAD SINGER SOUNDS REAL GOOD HE SOUNDS AS GOOD AS JACKIE DOES. MY FAVORITES ON HERE ARE BABY WORKOUT,A WOMAN,A LOVER, A FRIEND, STOP DOGGING ME AROUND, HIGHER AND HIGHER, LONELY TEARDROPS,TO BE LOVED AND MANY MORE I WOULD RECOMMEND ALBUM TO ANYONE WHO LIKE CLASSIC R&B AND JACKIE WILSON.

5 out of 5 stars 6 #1 Hits In His Wonderful Career.......2004-07-30

Usually you'll hear a dj on the radio at some sound-a-like Oldies station say that the great Jackie Wilson never scored a #1 hit-but what irks me is the fact they refuse to-or are just so darn ignorant-to clarify that remark. It is a cruel and horrible disrespect to the memory of Mr.Wilson not to the state the facts correctly. Mr.Wilson did indeed have a number 1 hit in his career- in fact a total of 6 of them. Those 6 were "Lonely Teardrops", "You Better Know It", "Doggin Around" also an RIAA certified million seller, " A Woman,A Lover,A Friend", "Baby Workout", and "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher&Higher in 1967. These 6 songs were #1 smashes on Billboards R&B chart.Do dj's think that Mr.Wilson somehow thought less of his #1 R&B hit than if it had gone #1 on the pop charts? I beg to differ- I'm sure he was just as proud and excited to hear the news that his song had topped the R&B chart.You see, it doesn't and should not matter that this wrong information is being puked out relentlessly on so called "Pop" Oldies stations-no,the tragedy comes when the dj does not clarify the #1 statement and convinces the listening public that the artist never-ever had a #1 in his life on any chart-and dj's I gotta tell ya-no matter how you sugarcoat it- that's dead wrong.Do "Pop" Oldies dj's arrogantly assume only "Pop' Oldies listeners listen to their station and R&B and Soul Oldies listeners never listen ? The next time you hear your ill-informed local dj say that Jackie Wilson never hit #1 and doesn't clarify his remarks-do me a favor and call and set him straight-even though his ego and arrogance will try to convince you that he or she is right-What a pitiful shame radio has become.

5 out of 5 stars A REAL SINGER.......2003-11-27

Come, all you who think you can sing. Listen to THE master of the vocal art. This is a great collection of most of the US hits of Jackie Wilson. Superbly remastered, superbly sung - BUY IT! You will need other CDs once you hear Jackie's un-real pipes, but this CD from Brunswick is a great start. Many of his greatest performances are tucked away on albums - GO SEEK! But as a starter this is a beauty of a CD with excellent liner notes.

3 out of 5 stars Poor value.......2006-09-20

This recording has only 16 tracks. The other reviewers didn't do their research and opt to buy the 24 track recording "The Very Best of Jackie Wilson" on Ace records. Get that recording, not this one.

5 out of 5 stars Jackie Wilson - They Didn't Call Him Mr. Excitement for Nothing!.......2005-10-27

Jackie Wilson was referred to as "Mr. Excitement," in his heyday. No one could really compare with his soulful style, incredible vocals and ground-breaking moves which many have copied, but failed to execute as smoothly as he did.

This collection of his greatest hits is fun from the moment you put it on. I love Lonely Teardrops, Reet Petite, That's Why I Love You So for the electricity they generate and the soaring vocals.

Jackie also shows off his classical vocal training on Night and Danny Boy which are formidable and memorable.

The collection closes out with some of his last hits such as "Higher and Higher," which has been covered by just about everyone, but no one even comes close to capturing the same excitement and energy that Jackie creates on this track.

Tragically, Jackie's incredible career was cut short, but we can all remember him and his music with this great collection...It does not disappoint and shows that Jackie Wilson was one of the original innovator of Soul and paved the way for James Brown, Marvyn Gaye, Al Green and all the rest!

5 out of 5 stars HOT.......2005-09-19

I have my boys ages 4, 2, and 8 months watching Jackie Wilson films. I want them to see a REAL stage performer in action. No special lighting and smoke to make him look like he's something he isnt. My four year old has his splits down. My two year old his songs. ( can we say future stars?) Jackie Wilson was dynamite with a side of TNT and a big helping of nitroglycerin. His voice sets my very soul on fire. I would recommend you buy this cd and anything else with him on it, You will NOT be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars The Original Soul Tenor.......2004-09-30

I am a life-long soul musicologist/singer and alongside the immortal Sam Cooke, I have always been a great fan of Jackie Wilson. This CD offers all of his hits and most moving renditions of his most enduring recordings. I've read many of the reviews about this and other Jackie Wilson compilations and it strikes me as odd that no one has made any mention of the fact that, aside from being a spectacular performer and vocalist, Jackie was perhaps the only soul singer of his time...or any time who had the vocal compass of a classically trained tenor. Had his career not been rooted in the racially repressed 50's & 60's, he may well have enjoyed the success of a Mario Lanza. Granted, Jackie's voice was untrained but with some work he could well have enjoyed success in both the Soul and Classical field, a harbinger of today's "Popera" genre, again not unlike the great Mario Lanza. Jackie Wilson's remains one of the greatest tenor voices ever heard and he will forever be the original Soul Tenor.

5 out of 5 stars THE REAL KING.......2003-11-29

I always put people right when they go on about Michael Jackson. I tell them about Jackie Wilson and how Jackie is so far greater in all areas it's not even funny. They never believe me until I show them Jackie on DVD or CD. THEN, they believe me! This is another wonderful compilation on the great man and another excellent introduction - but remember - it is only an introduction, GO BUY SOME MORE! More excellent liner notes and great CD production. A word to Brunswick - release the unreleased and alternate takes by Jackie please!!
