2 LPs on 1 CD. Limited edition 6-panel Digipak with comprehensive inside booklet
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 include high-pitched whooping, operatic pop, crooning, and everything in between. This essential release complies two of Wilson's LPs for the Brunswick la Bel 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.
No other singer of his generation so perfectly combined Jame's Borown rough, sexy style and Sam Cook's smooth gospel-polished pop. - Rolling Stone Magazine
