A really wonderful collaboration between two very unlikely partners and a great album that really stands out as some of the best work from both artists in the 60s! Count Basie's group gets hard and soulful on the record and even a little funky on the best cuts and Jackie Wilson is in a raw bluesy vocal style that recalls the best moments of his earlier Brunswick singles a great edge that makes the whole Basie groove sound even more hard-hitting than ever.
Benny Carter arranged, but the groove is more a hard-edged Count Basie mode mixed with Brunswick soul styles and Jackie blows it out over the top on great versions of "Funky Broadway", "Ode To Billie Joe", "I Was Made To Love Her", "Even When You Cry", and "Respect". Also features a version of "For Your Precious Love" that was a bit of a hit for the pair! (Original stereo pressing.

Giullia, you're the best! Many, many thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked, Luis!
DeleteThank You!
Got to confess that I haven't really listened to Jackie Wilson before. I know the name and have heard the odd track here and there but don't think I've ever played an entire album of his. Anyway, I d/l this one and wow!!! I'm impressed, what a remarkable voice. That's the best version of "Funky Broadway" I've ever heard. Many thanks for this and I see there's another Jackie Wilson album posted above. I'll be taking a copy of that too...thanks again.
