Jackie Wilson performing on Shindig (Baby WorkOut )

http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related

I was thinking about how bad today's RnB performers are compared to people like Jackie Wilson.

I mean this guy could sing and entertain with exception of Prince who in RnB is really performing anymore and yes this is kind of my response to another post about how great Nickie Majai, Lil Wayne and Drake are. Not only can they not sing but that cannot perform.

Nice post. Jackie Wilson was definitely a bad-ass.
One of the music shows I grew up on. NBC had a similar show called Hullaballo.

Someone made a Soul Series...





...of Shindig! clips.

I love this stuff. Thanks Check out the clip of Jackie 10 years after the Shindig show. You can see that age has caught up with him but he is still kicking ass.

Thanks for posting. I enjoy watching pioneers show how it was and still should be done. Jackie Wilson will always be one of my favorites!

He is and always will be one of my favorites as well! I saw him when I was a kid (without my father's permission, believe me AND because I looked older than my age at the time! smile ) He was a hell of a performer on stage!

The internal sparks remains even when the physical body refuses to totally cooperate.
