Jackie Wilson Hologram to be produced

[Soul Sister]

I don't know about this, I know some people are not going to like it because it won't be the same as the live performance of the man we knew and loved.
I guess I have to see it first.

BTW, why is this in the Motown thread instead of on the main forum? Although born in Detroit he was not a Motown artist. He recorded for labels in New York & Chicago.

You obviously do not know the history of Motown. Berry Gordy had his big break in 1957 when Jackie recorded "Reet Petite," a song written by Berry, his sister Gwen, and Tyran Carlo [[aka Billy Davis).

"Reet Petite" turned out to be his first hit. There were four more hit songs written over the next two years, "To Be Loved" and "Lonely Teardrops" in 1958, and "That's Why" and "I'll Be Satisfied"in 1959.

That certainly qualifies this to be included in the Motown Forum. Do you think when the Hologram is shown that no mention will be made of Berry Gordy?

I don't know. Was Jackie mentioned in Motown the Musical? Anyone?

That's a little harsh, don't you think? Besides, I think that's a bit of a stretch to justify this being in the Motown section...

Back on subject: I've never been a fan of these holograms. I think its downright creepy and morbid. I know a lot of people are fans of this kind of thing, but to me it only further reminds me that they're no longer living.

With the holograms, people will get to see Jackie sing and dance in 3D, as opposed to just on film. Why is it more morbid to see a deceased person in 3D than 2D. Would you forget he's dead if you saw him on film?

As I said, it remind me that they are deceased. It's ghostly to me. That's my opinion. If others like it, good on them. But I will not be partaking.

Theres no need to be rude to soul sister. She waS real respectful in her question and comment. You have no right to question the ladys knowledge IMO.
