Jackie Wilson was a very important influence on the soul era that followed his prominence in the music business. An electrifying showman and one of the best R&B singers and performers of all time, Wilson's athletic stage moves influenced performers from
Elvis Presley to
James Brown, and his astounding vocal range included high-pitched whooping, operatic pop, crooning, and everything in between. This essential release compiles two of Wilson's LPs for the Brunswick label in their entireties:
Body and Soul (1962) and
You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet (1961). Long unavailable, both splendid albums have been packaged together in this remastered collector's edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period. There's no better proof of Jackie Wilson's talents than these consistent, stylish and exuberant recordings.
