Which leads me to #236 on this Rolling Stone list: 𝗠𝗿. 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁!, a massive 3-CD collection (72 songs!) by #JackieWilson.
Wilson is a bridge between old & new, quite likely the 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 bridge between the crooners of yore and R&B. He had a fantastic voice, a voice that certainly sent women into a swoon (he was an infamous womanizer, to be sure). Wilson blended both old and new, keeping pace and staying in charge, regardless of the backing band. (cont)

Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When You Smile)
Originally posted on September 25, 2018
On this day in 1986, Jackie Wilson was at #1 in the U.K. with his 1957 song ‘Reet Petite’. This unlikely success occurred two years after his death when it was used in a Levis commercial.
“Jackie Wilson said it was Reet Petite
Kind of Love You got
Knock me off my feet”
