Jackie Wilson was an American soul singer-songwriter and performer. Born on June 9, 1934 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, he made a significant impact on the music industry with his powerful vocals and energetic stage presence. Wilson's contributions to soul music earned him a well-deserved induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 as a performer. Throughout his career, he captivated audiences with hits like "Lonely Teardrops" and "Higher and Higher." He was the son of Eliza Wilson and married to Freda Wilson.

With his smooth voice and charismatic performances, Jackie Wilson influenced many artists in the genre. Some similar artists include *Smokey Robinson & The Miracles*, *Wilson Pickett*, *Martha Reeves & The Vandellas*, *The Impressions*, and *The Marvelettes*. These talented musicians shared a passion for soul music that resonated with audiences worldwide.

Although Jackie Wilson tragically passed away on January 21, 1984 in Mount Holly, New Jersey, his legacy lives on through his timeless music. His songs continue to inspire generations of listeners who appreciate the artistry and emotion he brought to every performance.

Blue Note is a record label that has made a significant impact in the jazz genre. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis, Blue Note focused on traditional jazz and swing recordings, producing timeless classics. In the 1950s, it became one of the first labels to feature bop musicians. After being acquired by *Universal Music Group* in 1965, Blue Note expanded its repertoire to include more commercially-oriented music like jazz-fusion. Throughout the years, Blue Note underwent various changes in ownership and reissue programs but continued to release new recordings and previously unreleased material.

In 1982, Blue Note catalog reissues began appearing on *United Artists Records*, which was owned by Michael Cuscuna who oversaw the UA-era reissue program. The label was later relaunched as part of *Capitol-EMI's* subsidiary *Manhattan Records* in 1985. It was during this time that Blue Note released key albums from its history and introduced previously unissued material.

In 1989, Blue Note became the division under which all of Capitol-EMI's jazz activities were organized. However, two years later, *Manhattan Records* was revived for smooth jazz and pop-jazz releases while Blue Note continued to thrive as a prominent label within Capitol-EMI's roster.
