Jackie was the originator, not Elvis. Almost everything Jackie did he was the first to do, and he did it at a high level. Although he was not the first soul singer (that award goes to Sam Cooke), he could sing nearly anything from gospel to light opera. He was athletic, charismatic, and a whirlwind onstage. Anyone that plays with a microphone stand stole it from Jackie. Dick Clark said Jackie was the most talented singer and most talented performer he'd ever known, which pretty much says it all.
Jackie had a stroke 9 years before he died he was in a coma all that time ! Elvis paid his medical bills!! They we’re friends!! Sing to the angels Jackie!!!❤🫶🏾☝️🛸🌈🌈
