Jackie Wilson & Shirley Ellis / Dick and Dee Dee 

And......he was rather athletic! He had been a boxer. That is where a lot of his "moves" came from

@@debraweaver6308 I wondered about that. His Shindig performance of “Work Out” really shows those boxer moves. 🥊

James Brown once remarked that he 'wished' he could sing like Jackie Wilson. The problem 'is'...James Brown was a 'screamer'...not a SINGER. I believe EVERYBODY has "secret fantasies". I wonder what ELVIS' secret fantasies were.

That is not true, in his early career, anyway, as Brown was a blues balladeer, with things like Try Me, Please, Please, Please and It's A Man's World

Lee Kushner Don't forget (my) 'favorite' of his: "THE BELLS"!

I will check that out. Thanks.

I don't see that that was sung by either performer, but rather The Originals

Don't forget that JACKIE was also inducted into THE ROCK and ROLL HALL of FAME, too. Class of 1987. AND the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2013.

Jackie Wilson = Mr Excitement = My Favorite Ever Performer!!!

Kodi James did you work there? Where Jackie was in coma? Poor guy such a terrible state to be in a coma like that for years.

Dixie Girl Someone 'filmed this' (as it happened). I 'saw' the video.

Kodi James do you have link to video? I watch every Jackie Wilson video I can find. Thx for the info.m

Dixie Girl I saw it on TV...many years ago.

I was thinking that also! It is the side view.

Amen.

I have always liked Dick and Dee Dee. And I don't mean to disrespect Dick and Dee Dee. However, if you notice that whenever it comes time for Dee Dee to sing a line by herself there are background voices singing along with her as if she was unable to carry a line by herself. Sometimes I wonder if Dee Dee is singing at all or if it is only Dick and the Shindig backup singers. I cannot identify Dee Dee's voice at all. And I know this performance is live but it sounds as though in certain sections of the song Dick's voice is double tracked to give the song a fuller sound. One can perform "live" and still sing to a double tracking played in conjunction with one's live voice. Even on record, it sounds as though Dick has double tracked or overdubbed his own voice leaving Dee Dee as an unidentifiable entity. On the other hand, Shirley Ellis holds her own in her duet with Jackie Wilson. Shirley and Jackie each hold their own and seldom do they need background singers to fill in the sound.

I enjoyed Dick's falsetto interludes. DeDe was ever so cute.

Bull shit. I found Dick's falsetto interludes a great contribution to the integrated quartet. Jackie Wilson was the greatest. No need to hate on Dick and Dee. They were first class pop artists in their own right. DeDe as as cute as cute can be. The bans was also fully integrated. It was a great all around performance and not a competition

The Bandit I agree! Why do so many people make everything a competition where somebody wins or loses?

Terry too Haha
