"I was conditioned to believe that nobody can beat Jackie Wilson

as a singer/entertainer by an uncle who knew Jackie's manager and

once sort of "acted" as a bodyguard for the great singer at New York's Apollo Theatre;apparently it was impossible to keep females away from the stage.Like my uncle,I just don't think anyone does it better. And for all the "Irishmen" out there,check out Jackie's version of 'Danny Boy' on this album."

Jackie Wilson At His Best

"Jackie Wilson was the consummate artist: a voice that was as smooth as honey on moon beams, gravity-defying dance steps and great looks. He was Elvis before there was an Elvis. As a youngster, I saw many of his incredible performances at the Apollo--shows that represent some of the best memories of my life. Unfortunately, this is Jackie's only live album. For those not fortunate to have witnessed his live performance, I simply say it was unlike any other. This album, my all-time favorite, represents a nice sample of the broad spectrum of musical genres he mastered. No one, including Elvis, could touch him. When you saw Jackie, or heard his voice, you had to believe in God--for talent like his could come from no other source."

Incredible talent

"Jackie Wilson was a One of a Kind Artist and overall Entertainer. the only person who displayed his magic with voice and dance is Michael Jackson. Jackie Wilson had alot of charisma and Persona on stage and with his vocals and presentation. this Album showcases his dynamic range and overall Greatness. this Live recording is a Classic and a Must hear. Jackie Wilson paved the way for Elvis Presley and so many others. He hasn't gotten his full due. a first Class Artist."
