The Best of Jackie Wilson - To Be Loved, Lonely Teardrops, & Alone At Last 

im a simple guy, i see jackie wilson, i click like.

This is when America had real singers who truly could sing. What an era.

Talent like Jackie Wilson's is impossible to find today. This man stands alone when it comes to melody, range, power, and overall performance. Totally amazing!

Why doesn't anybody have talent like this anymore? Notice that Jackie didn't have to take anything off, didn't have to grab his genitals, and didn't have to "twerk" on anything or anyone. He just flat out kills it with that voice. He was a beautiful and talented gentleman. I miss him.

No one can compare with the range of Jackie Wilson...he is the king of range and octaves!!!

I see these clips of truly, gifted people and subsequently despair of today's trash artists. We have gone backwards with music, without a doubt.

Sadly there will only ever be one Jackie Wilson the coolest funkiest cat around with the moves and the Voice to back it all up and then some he never misses a beat even when he's spinning ,dropping to his knees and rising back up Mr Excitement lived up to the title !

No one can ever top his beautiful voice❣️ I’m so happy we have the venue to keep enjoying this beautiful man.💕💕💕💕💕🥰

How many singer today could just go out there, like Jackie,with just a microphone and just tear it up. He sang a ballad, a pop song, and an operatic aria. No back up dancers and no auto tune. Just a man with tremendous talent

No auto tune, just a great voice!!!

Jackies singing voice was amazing, may he rest in peace .

I'm so happy they have these clips of him singing live for us to see.

One of the best singers of all time. He truly had it all...................

He was one of the greatest soul singers ever,fantastic voice

Not enough words to describe how great Jackie Wilson was! He inspired a generation of both black & white singer/entertainers. So many of todays so called singers could learn ALOT from Jackie Wilson! He had soul, he had rhythm, was a great singer & dancer and of course very charismatic! Sorry i never did get to see him perform, died way before his time. You just don't see great talents like this any more. YES, Michael Jackson (RIP) was inspired by Jackie. Rest in peace Jackie and THANK YOU for the tremendous and wonderful legacy of music you have given us! Lonely Teardrops.....................

My God all these years he still gives me the chills when I hear his voice. 2020

What a voice. It is so sad the way he passed away. Not many people know about this. Wilson collapsed on stage in 1975 and spent remainder of his life in a coma. He died in New Jersey in 1984, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

This man is the stage God of early soul and just about anything else you want to hear ... A one of a kind !

Man. what a voice! Why don't we have singers like this now?

And no fuckin auto tune or choreographed steps,just one great singer who moved like no one else!

Today's superstars perform with a small army of dancers and they are great. Jackie Wilson accomplished the same thing all by himself; in fact, he is even better.

He is truly a legent..no one like Jackie Wilson..love his voice..love playing his songs when i am feeling lonely..Great.

Oh what a pair of lungs! Fabulous!

A true star! What a voice!

Jackie Wilson was a great performer that my generation does not know about and that is sad because, there is no one in the music industry now a days like him.

WoW no wonder he was called "Mr. EXCITMENT "🔥💯 RIP MR. WILSON ☮💜✝️🙏

That Amazing and handsome is Jackie Wilson! 💕 💐 🌹🌿 And that wonderful voice he has! ... precious songs!

Pure soul and talent from head to toe ...the incomparable Jackie Wilson .

No one will ever have the same kind of influence and performancship that Jackie Wilson did.

Jackie aced roclk and rolll singing and did it with an operatic voice. Now give me one singer who could do that ? He left his mark here on earth and although they may have stolen his finances and neglected him when he became ill they will never take away the beautiful singing voice and memories that he left behind. And those who were inspired by his style. GOD BLESS JACKIE !!!)

This performance digs so deep. Truly amazing. My soul is crying.

Jackie, Jackie, Jackie.. There are not enough words to express how I feel.. I'm feeling, feeling, You As a Whole..! You wake up the soul in a individual...! Much Love..Mr Excitement.!!!!

A TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL SINGER. NO THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE ANOTHER. ❤

There's nothing the great Jackie Wilson can't do ... and brilliantly !

Jackie had a voice that would make you stop and listen. Good looking, moved great and was a good person. Never heard anything bad about him. Loved me some Jackie Wilson.

Magnificent! The one and only Mr. Jackie Wilson.... God bless Mr. Ed Sullivan for introducing on his show so many already accomplished African American artist whom because of stupidity and racism did not back then, received their due...,respect and accolades, I loved and admired both of these 2 gentlemen and my mother did too... thank you so much for the upload.....that was, music......

There will NEVER be anybody as great as Jackie Wilson. If I was Ed, I would have dispensed with all the other guests and just had Jackie weaving his spellbinding magic for the whole show. These three performances are beautiful - thank you MusicandDancing4Ever for posting them.

People compare MJ and Jackie, as a compliment, and because they were two of the greatest of all time. They both were innovative, original, masters of the stage. Both had the power to amaze you. They both had energy, rawness, and passion. They could just mesmirize you. It's not fair to pit both against one another when it comes to who's the greatest. MJ adore Jackie, and Jackie would have loved MJ. They both were of different eras and every era has their greats. No one can doubt both were greats

Wow the sexiest man ever put on this earth.

THIS IS WHAT TRUE SINGING IS ALL ABOUT & NOT THAT HOLLERING & YODELING THAT THE SINGERS OF TODAY PASS OFF AS SINGING

What a MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE ! This is undeniably one of the greatest singing talents ever. His voice is rivaled only by the lead vocalist of "The Platters", Tony Williams. I hope that there will be more singers like him today.

This was such a beautiful performance! Bravo Jackie Wilson. He had smooth moves, catchy tunes, and such a lovely way of expressing his music. This is one of a few videos that I can watch from the beginning to the end without pausing it to do something else. He stands on his own throne.

I wish i could have met mr. wilson i was born in 70 i love his music he was robbed by the white man and died broke in a nursing home from his heart attack. Rest well Jackie your missed 6 million records sold all over damn shame

The man could sing anything, to perfection

in one word "Fantastic" this is what makes singers like Jackie legends cause they will never be replaced.

Hey Robert from three years ago. I'm not gonna get into a discussion of who's better than who. But when God gave us Jackie Wilson, he dropped a little bit of magic onto the earth. Could you imagine opening your mouth and hearing those sounds come out? And then looking down, and see your feet your feet moving like that? I will say this-- there has never been anyone, ever, better than Jackie Wilson.

My idol, and I saw him many times on stage in Los Angeles as kid, how I was able to see him at 9 and 10 years old is a mystery to me, but I did. I was driven to see him, and I watched the women go mad. I realized my calling, and did become a singer. I met him as an adult in the late 70's at the airport in los angeles. i drove cabs while going to college. We picked up fares getting off the planes. I was not first up in line to be his driver however. I saw him dressed in all white, with his wife and son, them all in white, and like they stepped out of a cloud. I was speachless, but I said Jackie!, He reached and shook my hand, put is arm around my shoulder, while his wife and son walked to the cab that would take them. He talked me, and I a grown young man I was hipnotized. I felt like he gave me a gift from him at that moment, and a part of his talented soul. I had already been singing since I was 14 professionally already. I had recorded and did shows at 18 with producers at Motown and had records on the radio, plus I had worked with my own vocal group and band on the chiterlling circuit, but now I met my Idol, and I felt he was a part of my full circle and destiny. My autobiography will tell the rest of my journey, but in my mind, JACKIE WAS THE GREATEST EVER TO OPEN HIS MOUTH. I later studied classical voice in college and so much more, but he was a God!

One of the top five singers of all time . Period !

To;Bill Chew, I was not aware that he had a stroke. I'm grateful to God-Jesus for blessing me in seeing Him in person. RIP Jackie Wilson. You blessed many with your beautiful voice, a great dancing moves. Thank You Bill Chew for the info.

And to think at one time this quality of entertainment was norm of a prime time TV show. This was the standard and expectation. Today we as a society are lucky if get a performance half as good at the Grammys or any music awards. Even then, it wouldn't be this good. How did we stray so do far???!!!

I know it was the times, but I had to laugh at Ed Sullivan's opening remarks. Boy I remember watching Jackie at The Uptown Theatre in Philly way back in the day.

Thank God for Ed Sullivan! One of the few who OPENLY ADORED BLACK music, & THIS IS THE START of Ed's LOVE for Berry Gordy and Motown Corp.! GREAT UPLOAD from a fan of Motown since 1965🎵🎵🎵👍👍👍

Big talent.... Very rare and special!!!! RIP!!!

I just melted ! What a voice !

How much better could he be? Impossible to improve upon.

Thats a real artist

AWESOME! Flawless performance. The one and only "Mr. Excitement" Jackie Wilson!

what a great talent he was.there will never be another jackie wilson

Wow...just WOW! What a treasure!

He is beautiful man omg

When Eddie Murphy was hitting those notes in coming to America 😂😂😂😂 I love this song man

Bow down!! I was blessed to see him live on stage at the Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis,Mo. Easter Sunday 1965. I had just turned 16 the week before. Tickets to the show were a birthday present. Lucky me!!!!!!!!!

Dang that's swag gentleman !

A joy to watch and listen too. Loved his voice, songs and performances... beautiful 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

WHAT A VOICE RIP Jackie!

Notice the all white audience in those old TV days.. This was ground breaking performance back then where Jackie won over everyone with his authentic beautiful talent and charisma. He and Nat King Cole were pioneers that opened the white audiences eyes to the classy black man with the amazing voice... you can see here the heartfelt support that Ed Sullivan gives him.... Jackie was a very special artist God bless his soul and also Ed Sullivan who opened so many doors for Jackie Wilson and so many other great black artists.

He is just so awesome to me

He Is the MAN !!

This was the birth of soul music, way back then. Something we could all relate to, no matter what race or color. The great MoTown hits all started with J. Wilson singing to the world on TV. M Jackson learned a few of his dance moves from Jackie.

Got to see this great singer in Las Vegas, back in the 70's, what a voice, and dancer wowwww.

I was born 2002 and have grown up listening to all modern day pop artists but I wish I was born in the 40s then I would have grown up listening to legends like Jackie Wilson and Bobby Darin and many others like the four tops and the everly brothers and the list goes on. 😢

Whoa! Who can't feel the power? The expression and commitment to the emotions of song!

Such a stunningly beautiful voice. Xxxx

This Entertainer should take a big bow!!!! I fell in love with this man when I was a little girl I'm in my late 60s now, and he is still one of my favorites, I think every Entertainer that is out there today Oh's Jackie Wilson a lot more than they're willing to admit. I feel that he was the greatest of all times I put him up there with Sammy Davis jr. Elvis, and other high-powered entertainers. But what happened to Jackie Wilson back then it still goes on so matter-of-fact George Michael sued Sony for the same crap there's a lot of singers out there they got screwed out of their royalties. All musicians should get together and build this building in Jackie name the industry owes this man, he definitely gave you more than you ever gave him. 😏😍😘

Ed Sullivan: "That's the first of many appearances..." Meaning Jackie has great talent and I won't let racism stop me from showcasing him.

The Complete Package.

My blood races thru me every time I watch this. Makes me smile and want to cry all at the same time. So sad what happened to him. He was beautiful in every way. I watch BGT only in the hope we find another of his ilk but it will never happen.

FAR OUT----His suit is perfectly IN STYLE--for 2018-----SO IS his VOICE !!

The world was blessed to have had such a phenomenal singer in Mr Excitement - the great Jackie Wilson !

"Jackie Wilson was a God, Michael Jackson was a God when it came down to singing and dancing!!!!!!! They voices and movez were beyond perfection!!!!!!!" #This is real music here

He was Handsome

Never a better all around singer. Even sang opera.

that voice and those moves god bless you jackie

Ed Sullivan:suave, righteously fabulous-and appreciated by Black folk!

Yes.. he had the whole package!! The VOICE...stopped you in your track, bc it was touch by an Angel.. yet we MUST realize he was accepted...his talent was, MORE accepted, WHEN it was on a so called white, say but true. He was the black.....where you think the whites got it....he was the showmanship...now 2day media everything BLACKS create(music) got a white face....country music has changed....black ppl has always sung country, now everybody's doing it. Country music changed during the 60's O C Smith(Little Green Apple)etc ..It is what it is...Mr. Wilson, was way a head of his time, and yes...had he been...wow. ..what a big star he would have been ...that VOICE

Jackie Wilson

he had it all. awesome

lonely tear drops always gives me goosebumps . its an irresistible song and he really socks it to you. that voice could blast through brick walls.

HE WAS THE BEST - Worth a dozen Michael Jacksons.

When I was little girl my mom would play Jackie Wilson

Jackie Wilson was bigger than Ed Sullivan, Jackie in spite of the announcing comment did his songs with professionalism and grace. He proved to the audience that day he was a true performer in spite of comments. Jackie was well respected and loved by Elvis Presley and other performers of the time. Jackie sang from his heart as God gave him the gift. I Love to hear him sing even being a man, I sure women of the time were melting in their seats as Jackie went to his knees in the singing of To Be Loved. The band was typical of arrangements of the time, clear and professional. I never tire of hearing Jackie sing.

When it comes to male singers, there are 2 categories. Jackie Wilson is one and everyone else is the other. There simply was never a better singer and performer of popular music than Jackie, and this video is all the proof one needs.

I love the oldies it had such great music

Oh what a feeling to be loved. Solid music to be loved

Ed Sullivan must've meant when he said "his race" the human race since no one in before or since can sing like that RIP

I was fortunate to see him at th Brooklyn Paramount..THE BEST OF THE BEST..GREETINGS FROM PUERTO RICO

Yes I join wholeheartedly in all the accolades of this super singer. Saw him at the StateTheatre in Kingston Jamaica in the fifties. WHAT A NIGHT OF THRILL, HE WAS BACKED BY SIL.AUSTIN AND HIS BAND. AS HE WALKED DAWN THE ISLE SINGING AT THE SAME TIME, SOME OF THE GIRLS NEARLY FAINTED AS HE MADE THEM HIS PERSONAL OBJECTS !! WHAT A GUY!! WHAT AN ENTERTAINER HE WAS!!. 👏

I hate racism..this man was a god!!!

So beautiful and sentimental! I heard these songs on the radio as a teen, it was an oldies station, but I never got to see the video until today. So, glad I searched it up. 🥰😍

I LOVE JACKIE! I was lucky enough to have seen him headline a few of Porky Chedwick's Groove Spectaculars! NO ONE could have followed him! He did it all! Sang amazingly, danced, crawled on the floor, kissed the girls.....what an incredible show this man could do!
