5.0 out of 5 stars No one-hit wonder album, February 6, 2003

If you don't own a copy of this LP, get one NOW. In the Rhino Box-Set "Mr. Excitement" the writer says apart from the hit single, "Higher & Higher" and a solid remake of "Open The Door To Your Heart", the rest of the album is weak. He must have been listening whilst asleep - this album is a stunner. Unlike the beautifully delicate Whispers LP, this one storms from start to finish, with a truly soulful ballad thrown in called "I Don't Need You Around"."You Can Count On Me" is the last song I want to hear just before I die. It is quicker to pick the poor tracks on Jackie's LPs, but there isn't one here...Please come back Jackie, you are sorely missed...

Did you know that Motown's studio band played on this album and on "Whispers"?? On "Higher And Higher", that bass at the beginning could be no one other than James Jamerson. I knew that there was some reason that I keep coming back to this, this recording always stuck with me ever since I first heard it upon its release in 1967(particularily the title track). And Jackie is at his peak on this recording, I feel. For me, Jackie's performance on the title track and the Funk Brother's playing gives it 5 stars(Please ignore the 2-star graphic, that is an error. 5 stars!!)

This review is from: Higher & Higher (Audio CD)

Jackie Wilson was one of the baddest Musical artists ever. the Man was smooth and could Sing/Sang with the best of them. he was in the same class as Sam Cooke and James Brown back in the day. He truly had a unique style about him. this album is smooth and on time. the Motown band is on here and Jackie is leding the way. the Man could sing anything and make it sound so smooth. a Must have. the Brother is so underrated.
