gret album from Mr.Excitement the Man was smooth and could Sing/Sang with the best of them. Jackie Wilson was one of the baddest Musical artists ever. he was in the same class as Sam Cooke and James Brown back in the day. He truly had a unique style about him. this album is smooth and on time. the Motown band is on here and Jackie is leding the way. the Man could sing anything and make it sound so smooth. a Must have. the Brother is so underrated.
Interesting Piece Of Info....
I knew that there was some reason that I keep coming back to this, this recording always stuck with me ever since I first heard it upon its release in 1967(particularily the title track). Did you know that Motown's studio band played on this album and on "Whispers"?? On "Higher And Higher", that bass at the beginning could be no one other than James Jamerson. And Jackie is at his peak on this recording, I feel. For me, Jackie's performance on the title track and the Funk Brother's playing gives it 5 stars(Please ignore the 2-star graphic, that is an error. 5 stars!!).
No one-hit wonder album
In the Rhino Box-Set "Mr. If you don't own a copy of this LP, get one NOW. Excitement" the writer says apart from the hit single, "Higher & Higher" and a solid remake of "Open The Door To Your Heart", the rest of the album is weak. He must have been listening whilst asleep - this album is a stunner. Unlike the beautifully delicate Whispers LP, this one storms from start to finish, with a truly soulful ballad thrown in called "I Don't Need You Around". "You Can Count On Me" is the last song I want to hear just before I die. It is quicker to pick the poor tracks on Jackie's LPs, but there isn't one here. . . Please come back Jackie, you are sorely missed.
THE BEST ALBUN EVER
THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF THIS SON IS WONDERFUL. I THINK JACKIE WILSON'S SONG HIGHER AND HIGHER IS MORE THAN HE EVEN HAS REALIZED. BECAUSE THE LORD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN LIFT YOUR LOVE AND HIS LOVE FOR YOU GETS HIGHER AND HIGHER EVERY DAY. THANKS.
