The late
Jackie Wilson was one of the most dynamic performers in soul music history. His
repertoire ranged from shouters such as “Reet Petite” and “Baby Workout” to
lushly arranged (many would say over-arranged) ballads such as “Night” and “To
Be Loved”. Virtually all of his hits came between 1957 and 1963, but this
classic didn’t come out until 1967. Great for parties, road trips, or
practically any other occasion. (And, if you need something to put you to
sleep, check out Rita Coolidge’s cover version from 10 years later, which was
inexplicitly an even bigger chart success.)
