Jackie Wilson The Silent One

[David Meikle]

Arrangement, Production, Songwriter(s), Label detail please for this wonderful song.

It has gone right under my radar!

 

[Chalky]

I think it was previously unreleased until this CD?

As Chalky said, unissued until 1987. Recorded in New York 8th October 1964.

Writer unknown, directed by Teacho Wiltshire, produced by Nat Tarnopol and Dick Jacobs.

Thanks Alan.

The sound on this recording is absolutely pristine and so New York.

If you don’t have studio detail it should be easy to find out now.

Wiltshire and Jacobs were top of their game.

My details above were taken from an Ace CD. Just had another look and it doesn't tell you where it was recorded but Gil Askey says he was working on Jackies 1964 "Somethin' Else" album that was recorded at Bell Sound on 44th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue.

I was looking at that Bell Sound studio on a map a few months ago. It was right behind another building of note. Escapes me right now. Eventually facility moved to W54th Street.

Gil Askey another recording genius.

Much appreciated David
