The final Top 40 single for Jackie Wilson, though it did much better internationally, co-written by Van McCoy (“The Hustle”). Wilson would be semi-immortalized in song a few years later by Van Morrison. Then in 1975, Jackie collapsed onstage from a heart attack and fell into a coma; he died in 1984. There is no overstating his influence on R&B and pop music. Truly a legendary music figure.
