About Jackie Wilson
Jackie Wilson brought a highly flexible voice and precise rhythm to soul, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and orchestral popular songs. He began his solo Brunswick career in 1957 after singing with Billy Ward and the Dominoes. The label's catalog traces the contrast between his early singles and later soul arrangements, while his live reputation rested on athletic movement alongside controlled singing. His solo studio work is distinct from the concert recordings and separately credited duet projects.
