1/4. Paul Gambaccini recalls the career of R&B/soul/pop sensation Jackie Wilson, from his early days of gospel and amateur boxing to his successes as lead singer of Billy Ward and His Dominoes, through to his 1957 solo breakthrough hit (and 1986 UK number one) Reet Petite (The Finest Girl You Ever Wanted to Meet) and beyond. An electrifying showman and no stranger to rock 'n' roll-cliche lifestyle excesses, Wilson racked up a huge string of hits, including Lonely Teardrops, Night, A Woman, A Lover, A Friend, Baby Workout, (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher and I Get the Sweetest Feeling. Includes input from Jackie Wilson, recorded shortly before his fatal heart attack, at 49, in 1975. Producers Paul Welsh and Nick Low
