Jackie Wilson is quite simply the finest male singer

who ever graced a recording studio.

End of.

Where do you start with JW , he did so much fab stuff . I have only just come across the flip to lovely way to die ...awesome tune ! it says it all really .....sheer magic !

The great man gained no fewer than seventeen 7" releases from the Brunswick/Coral stables in Japan...deservedly so. :hatsoff2:

This is one of my fave sleeves for the thumping great 'Soul Galore':

This thread has made me seek out the Uptown and Upnorth CD (thanks to Tony Rounce :D ), may I say if you've yet to obtain one, where the f*&k have you been? :D

Putting aside his many, many fabulous uptempo tunes, let us also reflect on his awesome Beat Ballads...this is my fave...tremendous!

(Bet there are some interesting non-US/UK releases in collections as well..c'mon let's be 'avin' some scans!)

:D

Huge Jackie Wilson fan here, one of those artsists that you'll always find some new side you've never encountered & it will blow you away. The reason some of his tracks get a bit ignored isn't because they are lacking in quality, it's just that he has so many scorchers. I have a bunch of New Zealand & US Jackie Wilson 7"s, even a couple of 33rpm 7" stereo jukebox "mini album" EPs.

Flynny I remember many moons ago when we were young Ktfr's lol and I was harping on about liking Jackie WIlson and you came in and said try Haunted House. Now I must confess at the time I though you were bonkers .

I could not see what was so good about it .... but then Ias I got older and fatter lol I started to appreciate it and yes I agree a superb sound that really pulls on your heartstrings.

I still love "I Lost you" ..... as an upbeat Jackie the lyrics are just superb

Last week I was given an old KTF review that I wrote when Maria and I had a weekend at the Aqua and Tonys in Blackburn .... my god I sent myself dizzzy reading it lol

Funny how time changes things now that s a cue for a song...... Chuck :lol:

That really does surprise me Mike, considering the amount of stuff he put out.

Just couple of JW faves but there are so many ---------

Ignore the misnaming of the clip and the first few seconds

jackie wilson - just be sincere - soul-tbc

From all the covers I still think this comes up a close second to Darrel Banks. Youtube clip because the refo is only a short clip.

:thumbsup:

For my money this smashes the shit outta the Bell Boys

Soooo many great releases by him. I gotta say that my favorites are "Because of You" "I Don't Wanna Lose You Now" and "You Brought About A Change In Me" pure class all the way.

Keep the fire burning!

Cheers!
