one of the most underrated double siders ever pure magic

Jackie Wilson - What a lovely way - sublime crossover - from the album You got me walking - but also on the issue 45 with 'You left the fire burning'.

Because of you is my favourite record and possibly the greatest record ever.

From his "Beautiful Day" LP for me his best all round LP from the 70s.

if there was a new 'top 500' list I wonder where 'because of you' would land, top 10?

Jackie down under... all the 45s I’ve got on Coral, Brunswick, and his two Lps, Higher&Higher, Sweetest Feeling.   No EP though, don’t have that one I’m afraid 😧  but ‘open the door’ is one the Lp:/)

i do have a load of White test presses of his earlier stuff, will find them and post up...

so underrated Jackie Wilson song, goes to ‘Helpless’ !!  What a tune ...

'Soul galore' is a fine term to sum up Jackie's output!

The who who song is pure northern soul, and as good as it gets.

Somebody please make a film about his life and use his son in the star role! Superb in Vegas last year.

The Genius that was Jackie Wilson. Superb.

 

Jackie Wilson brilliant. Think Twice with Lavern Baker is a good duet that has been playing in the car recently. The x rated version is a good take that needs to get played 😁

So many great records, including one of my faves (uk only release..) ....

on my shopping list

My fave JW track and one i've championed for years.. LP only so far as i'm aware unless it got an obscure foreign 45 release

'Everything is gonna be fine' - the note he hits at the end of the track is simply outrageous, and manages to send shivers down my spine each and everytime I hear it, Pure Magic !!

 

Hiya, Jackie wilson - night, I'd be up for that. Stafford had the ' by some the Jackie Wilson room'. So many styles, would it be overkill ? I could give it a whirl. A few decades and collaborations. Bring your Jackie tunes and spin em. Cheers

I seem to remember this as a duet with Jackie on an album of the same name on a small label called 'see for miles' (a subsidiary of 'Charley' records perhaps?) I think you can hear the man on here, so did John Mercer at the Wilton ballroom when he emerged from the gents and said 'what's this Jackie Wilson track'?
