I Get The Sweetest Feeling is both one of his best known and most loved recordings, originally taken from his 1968 album of the same name. Coupled with Nothing But Blue Skies it only managed to reach #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of release and a more respectable #9 in the UK some four years later in 1972. Ironically it was your very own Passion Music who achieved the most success with the song just missing the top spot, stalling at #3, in 1987. It was also Passion Music that gave Jackie, posthumously, his only #1 pop hit with a reissue of “Reet Petite” in 1986. It Only Happens When I look At You is the perfect feel-good floorfiller from the perfect soul vocalist. The song was originally recorded by Aretha Franklin in 1975 for her Atlantic album ‘You’, but it is Jackie’s more upbeat version that captured the Northern Soul hearts. It was released on UK Brunswick in 1977 and was to be Jackie’s final 45. It eluded a US release and appears here – for the very first time – on the official American Brunswiuck label design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outta Sight","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50412141478219,"sku":"1132907","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/96090001-ecac-4f05-8e76-04616033e55d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726665628"},{"product_id":"you-better-know-it-chart-hits-1957-62","title":"You Better Know It Chart Hits 1957 - 62","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese 29 tracks represent every recording made by Jackie Wilson between 1957 and 1962 that appeared on one or more of America's record charts, Billboard, Cashbox and Record World, including the handful that also charted in the UK.  Hits include: \"Lonely Teardrops\"; \"You Better Know It\"; \"Talk That Talk\"; \"Night\" and of course \"Reet Petite\" the reissue of which was a No 1 hit in the UK in 1986.  This has to be the most comprehensive set of his original hits from 1957-1962 yet released on CD.  Fully detailed liner notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmine","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50439040893259,"sku":"393210","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/13b8db0c-2502-4a87-9978-effc46017b1d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726950569"},{"product_id":"hes-so-fine","title":"He's So Fine","description":"\u003cp\u003eDetroit native Jackie Wilson aka \"Mr. Excitement,\" left jump blues and R\u0026amp;B group The Dominoes in 1957 to pursue a solo career.
