On this day in 1984 we lost the legend, Jackie Wilson.πŸ•ŠοΈ

Born in Detroit, Michigan on June 9, 1934, Jackie gained initial fame as a member of the R&B vocal group Billy Ward and His Dominoes. Once he went solo in 1957, he scored over 50 chart singles spanning the genres of R&B, rock 'n' roll, soul, doo-wop, and easy listening. This included 16 Top 10 R&B hits, six of which ranked as number ones. On the Billboard Hot 100, Wilson scored 14 top 20 pop hits, six of which reached the top 10.

Jackie Wilson was posthumously inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. He is also inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Two of his recordings were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. He was honored with the Legacy Tribute Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 2003. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Wilson No. 69 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, and placed him on their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time in 2023.🀯

We are remembering the loss of a legend of American Music today.
Rest well, Jackie.❣️

Happy Birthday, Eldee Young!πŸ₯³

Born on this day in 1936 in Chicago, Eldee started playing bass when he was 13. When he was 19, he joined the Ramsey Lewis Trio, and later split off from that with Isaac "Red" Holt to form what became The Young-Holt Unlimited. This song, "Soulful Strut", was a #3 hit for them and became a gold record.

Eldee passed on February 12, 2007, but his mark on music plays on.πŸ•ŠοΈ
