#128 I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING Jackie Wilson
Jackie Wilson, despite his immense influence on the soul vocalists that followed, remains 1 of underrated singers of R&B. His delivery influenced James Brown and Michael Jackson. Wilson's execution of "I Get The Sweetest Feeling" is 1 of his best performances. 
The song was written by Van McCoy and Alicia Evelyn. Carl Davis produced the cut. Originally released in 1968, it made a dent in the lower rungs of the US Pop chart. On the R&B chart the disc fared better, peaking at #12. The single was finally issued in Britain in 1972 and climbed to #9. 
In 1975, Wilson had a heart attack while on stage. The singer lapsed into a coma. He remained hospitalized until he died 9 years later. A claymation video revived Wilson's profile in 1986. "Reet Petite" was re-released and reached #1 in the UK. "I Get The Sweetest Feeling" was re-issued as the follow-up. The single returned to the British Top10, this time peaking at #3.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
