Free Music Notes for Jackie Wilson - 20 Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: a greatest hits album from a true music legend
Hit: 5 Stars
Jackie Wilson - 20 Greatest Hits is a solid introductory album for people just discovering the incredible talent of a fine musical legend, Jackie Wilson. Jackie Wilson recorded so much during a career cut short by an untimely death; but we still have much to celebrate when it comes to Jackie's artistry. The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.
The album starts with Jackie belting out one of his very earliest hits, "Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Want to Meet)." The song has a great beat to it and Jackie never misses a note. His excellent diction enhances his performance even more; and this earned him many female fans rather quickly! Listen also for Jackie to do good on "To Be Loved;" this ballad is sweet while still packing a lot of energy that very few artists besides Jackie could ever communicate through a song. Great!
"Lonely Teardrops" starts out with a bluesy flavor that quickly gives way to a `50s style Latin beat; and this works very well for this number. Jackie makes the tempo changes seemingly effortlessly. Of course, we know it wasn't all that easy; but Jackie Wilson was so talented that he could always make these things look as easy as breathing. I only wish I had seen him once in concert.
"That's Why (I Love You So)" is one of my favorite songs; the backup singers harmonize very well and they complement Jackie's vocals perfectly. "That's Why (I Love You So)" is easily a highlight of this album; and there's also the big hit "Talk That Talk." Another personal favorite of mine is the dramatic, operatic ballad entitled "Night;" Jackie delivers this better than anyone else I've ever heard sing this song and "Night" is worth the price of admission alone.
There are, of course, other great songs to take note of--we get "A Woman, A Lover, A Friend" which Jackie bats straight out of the ballpark; and I really like the fun "Baby Workout" which of course Jackie helped write. "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" was also a big success for Jackie.
Another reviewer notes that a few important songs are missing from this album; and they are correct. However, as an introductory "greatest hits" album, this CD scores a high mark in my book. If you really like Jackie Wilson after listening to this CD, then you should consider the CD box set entitled Mr. Excitement! on the Rhino Records label. Unfortunately, though, because Mr. Excitement! is currently out of print it is very expensive; you may prefer instead to purchase the two disc set entitled The Ultimate Jackie Wilson. Both box sets are available for sale on this website as of the time of this writing.
