Jackie Wilson was an electrifying showman and one of the best R&B singers and
performers of all time. His athletic stage moves influenced everyone from Elvis
Presley to James Brown, and his astounding vocal range included from
high-pitched whooping to operatic pop and crooning, and everything in between.
Known as “Mr. Excitement”, Wilson’s unique singing style
combined a passionate delivery with infectious energy. Jackie was a very
important influence on the soul era that followed his prominence in the music
business.

This quintessential release compiles two of Wilson’s complete LPs for the
Brunswick label: A Woman, a Lover, a Friend (1960) and By Special Request
(1961). They each contain well-known numbers from the beginning of his career,
such as “You Cried,” “Your One and Only Love”,”
“(So Many) Cute Little Girls,” “Am I the Man” and
“Try a Little Tenderness,” among others. Long unavailable, both
sensational albums have been packaged together in this special
collector’s edition, which also includes 3 bonus tracks from the same
period. There’s no better proof of Jackie Wilson’s talents than
these consistent, stylish and exuberant remastered recordings.
