• Jackie Wilson was an electrifying on-stage showman and his unique singing style combined a passionate delivery with infectious energy. His athletic stage moves influenced everyone from Elvis Presley to James Brown, and his astounding vocal range included high-pitched whooping to operatic crooning, and everything in between.

• This release compiles two of his complete Brunswick LPs: ‘He’s So Fine’ (1958) and ‘Lonely Teardrops’ (1959). Both sensational albums contain some of his greatest studio recordings from the beginning of his career, including well known hits such as “Reet Petite”, “Lonely Teardrops” and “You Better Know It”. This special collector’s edition also includes 6 bonus tracks from the same period.
