Wilson,Jackie Woman A Lover A Friend + By Special Request CD

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the late Soul great plus three bonus tracks. 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 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. 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). 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.
