Jackie Wilson I've loved Jackie Wilson since I was a kid, (not very long since I'm only 16) but I remember watching the commercials for the oldies cds and I always watched until I saw Jackie singing a little piece of Higher and Higher. It kinda sucks that my generation doesn't know much or anything about Jackie a.k.a Mr. Excitement altough he's influenced some of the greats like Michael Jackson and Prince. Do you guys know of him? If so what do you think about his music, his voice(my favorite part about him), his life, so on and so forth?

Jackie Wilson.....That's all needed to be said....
When ask who's the best singer ever, I'm always going back and forth with either Jackie or Sam Cooke.... Sam's voice was smooth and silky... Jackie's voice could be smooth, rough, silky all at once..... He could've sang opera..That's how good a voice he had... An awesome entertainer....Yet forgotten... [Edited 11/4/05 20:12pm] | |

I like Sam Cooke too, but its Jackie's voice that keeps me coming back, I even love his opera influenced songs, I definitely can't say that about to many other singers. | |
