  1. Thank you so much for this. Maybe it’s strange that a young white boy living on the north-east coast of England could have instantly “got” Jackie Wilson’s music, but that’s what happened. I, too, have often wondered why Berry Gordy didn’t take Jackie to Motown with him – Jackie’s vocal styles and range, the musicians and the writers (HDH) would have made him a world star. Did Nat Tarnapol have “connections” which prevented a move? I never saw Jackie on stage, but my memories of the music live on,

    1. Thank you for your comments.
      Yes Jackie Wilson was an awesome talent and does not get the recognition he deserves.
