Jackie Wilson was THE most stylin' singer of his time in every way, including of course, his voice! And his moves were so fluid and lovely! God bless you and keep you, Jackie. xo

[@axiomist1076]

The master of the moves. He influenced a lot of performers. That flying split was amazing, but the way he slid back to standing was incredible.

[@scootermom1791]

He is definitely a wonderful dancer! Did he actually invent that flying split move?

[@blackdogxx]

Dick Clark said Jackie was the most talented performer he ever met. That is saying a lot.

[@jackhunsucker3220]

Thats the reason Dick paid Jackie's. Hospital bill after he stroked out I bet

[@rolandjohansson2714]

@@adrienneflowers2237 I've read both versions about who paied the hospital bill. And also read/heard - though in this very moment I forgot - that it also were some other artist, except those you mentioned, that helped with the medical bill. AFAIK Jackie never died of the heart attack (during live performance of "Lonely Teardrops, Sept 29, 1975), though in coma to early 1976, then better, he even could walk a little, until he slipped back into a semi-comatose state until his death Jan 1984. Laying for eight F*****G years! Cause of death from complications of pneumonia. Whatever that now means but I guess he was pretty weak and vulnerable and thus prone to die of such complications. Very tragic ending of a such a phenomenal singer & performer. And personally tragic life, a son age 16 shot and killed. A daughter died by a heart attack (HA) at age 24! Who have a HA at that age?! Another young daughter died of an OD.

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

He was the most gifted, talented artist of his time. In fact, of any time. I'm so sorry his life had so much sadness. God bless and keep him.

Profiles in Pittsburgh I met Jackie Wilson at the regal theater in Chicago. he was sitting right behind me with his mother watching the groups on stage. He had his nose in the back of my hair. I just sprayed it with revlon's honeysuckle. it was a great moment in my life when I turned around and our nose met. his mother smiled at me first and then he smiled at me and I didn't know what to do. I turned back around and could not move for the rest of the show. Rest in peace you wonderful great entertainer and great man. Hallelujah amen
