Jackie had a voice that no pop singer could ever match. His voice range was so wide. It's pure joy to hear these recordings. Time is not very forgiving when it come to pop music. Yes the music and style are dated but that voice will live for ever. I'm a fan of both Elvis and Jackie. From what I read they both respected and admired each other. Music,Song and showmen-ship is a blessing from above. God Blessed us all when he gave us Jackie Wilson.

I WAS VERY LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN JACKIE PERFORM LIVE..IN LATE 1964, JUST BEFORE I LEFT FOR VIETNAM..........
HE WAS PERFORMING IN A PLACE CALLED FREEDOM LAND...........WHICH WAS LIKE A DISNEY LAND HERE IN NEW YORK.............
HE WAS WONDERFUL............AND AS I LISTEN TO THESE SONGS I CAN REMEMBER THE ELECTRICITY..........THAT CAME FROM THIS WONDERFUL PERFORMER....THE GIRLS WENT NUTS........AS HE DANCED AROUND THE STAGE TOOK OFF HIS BOW TIE AND JACKET ........HE TRULY WAS ONE OF A KIND AND OH SO TALENTED..............
Elvis loved Jackie

Firstly, saying Elvis ripped off Wilson's singing style is a lie. One, Elvis was making his legendary Sun recordings before Wilson ever recorded, and next Wilson never recorded
the differsity of music Elvis did, like country and gospel. Lastly, I don't think it is possible to rip off a style, either you can do it or not. There are other endless points to make
on this. All that being said Jackie Wilson was one of the all-time greats, and maybe the least recognized truly great singer ever, and this album is a great proof of that, all Elvis
haters aside.
Excellent Singer! One of Elvis' favorites.

I love Jackie Wilson. I love Elvis Presley. To the guy who said it was a shame that Elvis ripped Jackie Wilson's style off...
Elvis was a huge Jackie Wilson fan and there's a big difference between "ripping someone's style off" and being influenced by another artist. Music is all about inspiring each other. Think before you bash Elvis who, like Jackie Wilson, will also always be one of the greatest singers who ever lived.

I love Jackie had the most powerful voice. It is sad to people like Elvis rip his singing style off. You must buy Danny Boy, Over the Rainbow, No Pity, Georgia On my Mind, Nobody but You. These songs showcase his powerful operatic tenor which can reach the soprano range. He is the best so lets show him some respect.
Great Album

A great addition to anyone's collection.
