I've never seen it before either. Jackie Wilson was one of the Premier Singers & Entertainers of his era and it would be great to be able to see more of his work on stage. Thanks for sharing Marv2.
You're most welcome Motown Eddie. I always thoug Jackie's story would make a good film.Quote:

I hear you Mike. My mother and father use to go see Jackie Wilson in concert back in the 50s and 60s. Several years ago my mother took me to see one of the places where he use to perform that has long since close, the Civic Ballroom in Toledo, Ohio. We saw the small stage and the wooden dance floor they use to dance on. I've met Jackie's youngest son and one of his daughters in recent years. Good peopleQuote:

I can't quite describe it but it's almost like an old fashioned pop/jazz song combined with rock & roll, R&B and soul, and it's fantastic. :)
