JACKIE WILSON Reet Petite 45rpm EP Vinyl 1985

Description: Within the pop music of the 1960s, Jackie Wilson was one of the most important agents of the transition from R&B into soul. In terms of vocal power (especially in the upper register), few could outdo him, and he was an electrifying on-stage showman. Although never a crossover superstar on par with the likes of Ray Charles, James Brown, or Sam Cooke, he was a consistent hitmaker from the mid-'50s through the early '70s. Wilson was well-known on the R&B scene before he went solo in the late '50s. In 1953, he replaced Clyde McPhatter in Billy Ward & the Dominoes, one of the top R&B vocal groups of the time. Commercially, things took a downturn for the Dominoes in the Wilson years, although they did manage a Top 20 hit with "St. Therese of the Roses" in 1956. Elvis Presley was one of those who was mightily impressed by Wilson; he can be heard praising Jackie's on-stage cover of "Don't Be Cruel" in between-song banter during the Million Dollar Quartet session in late 1956. (Richie Unterberger, AllMusic) I have graded the vinyl Excellent, as I can see hardly any signs of use and wear.Excellent – tolerating very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally. I have graded the sleeve Very Good Plus, as here there are signs of use and wear. There is also a new inner sleeve with a soft protective lining.
