if you put 'my heart is calling' 8th from last you should be like women, barred from voting :thumbsup:

I even love his early stuff pre Brunswick. OK it's not northern soul (maybe not soul) but they're still great records. Perhaps Reet Petite should be added to the list for a laugh.

B-side of haunted house is excellent.. traveling on (or something like that) :P

and I read on a CD cover :thumbsup: that "whispers getting louder" is about hes fight with drugs and drink I always thought it was about girlies.. :yes::yes:

Can I have the whole of the Beautiful Day LP its probably one of the finest soul LPs ever :thumbsup:

Adam

'Lonely life' on early orange Brunswick.

Similar in style to Freddie Houston 'If I had known' it's a killer tune (if you like that sort of stuff)

Get one quick while it's still cheap!!!!

:thumbsup:

I'll add a little bit of Lavern Baker to the mix here.....love the duet 'Think Twice' fantastic record does this count...lol

Also there is a brilliant X-rated version which has to be heard to be believed, Lavern asks Jackie if he likes chocolate ice cream and invites him to lick it.....wonderful stuff.

Saw the same programme ,one of my fave Jackie Wilson tracks.

It was on the B side of the re-issue of higher and Higher in the 80's.

Incidentally the perfomance on the Ed Sullivan show was recorded in the 60's

With his dance routine you can see where we got the idea from

:yes:

"Whatcha gonna do about love" & "It only happens when I look at you"

These 2 do it for me every time in a word "Genius" :(

it was whilst performing Lonely teardrops in Las Vegas 1975 that he collapsed sad.gif

your spot on about his dancing even the likes of James Brown, Elvis michael Jackson and Prince copied some of his moves (i've got a head full of nonsence facts) :(

Nogsy played this to me about 4 years ago.....very Derek and Clive :-)

I've just listened to "Watcha Gonna Do About Love" for the first time in ages. I never really struck me playing the LP before. Good track but not one of his best imo.

"Just Call My Name" however, from the Nobody But You Lp is a real choon and a half!

A must read is Lonely teardrops, the unedited version.

Can't choose just one of Jackie's songs as a favourite.

I know I didn't include it in the list above (I was trying to stick with the singles!!) but I have to say that Don't You Know That I Love You off the Beautiful Day LP is one of my faves!!!!!!!!!

There's a great track on the albumaJackie did with Count Basie can't remember the name of it for the life of me though

I like his "Open the door to your heart" on the "Higher & Higher" L.P.

Agree with this.. mate ov mine played this in a spot and it sounded ace!. Although I voted for "Haunted House" in poll, I could pick so many from his list of outstanding tunes, someone mentioned flip side "Im Travelling On" been spinning this a bit lately and love it.. another side I love is his flip of "Ive Learned about life" the stunningly soulful "Nobody But you" (guaranteed to get me back in good books wid the lass after an argument) :)

Stop Lying from the Soul Galore LP.

Fantastic tune.

Gordy

This might get me lynched but i've always considered 'because of you' a very overrated record. I just don't like it at all. Anyone else share this heresy?

IMO it IS overated, the man done some ace stuff, but I'd have "Because Of You" way down the list!

Not just overrated, but over bloody played and all!! thumbsup.gif

Yours in Heresy,

Dave

PS "Whispers" is the one for me.

and quite like "Nothing but Blue Skies"

Have to agree, Because Of You ain't a bad record, it's just that the easy option brigade have done it to death. thumbsup.gif

And there are so many other great JW's to play :sleep3:
