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.

In 1982 the Jasmine Label was created producing LPs and Cassettes. The new label initially focused on licensed Jazz and Personality recordings. Later in 1985 Jasmine successfully launched its Country & Western catalogue. 1990 saw the release of Jasmine’s first CDs.
