WAXTIME
Funk Soul
Catalog no: 772139
LP | NEW | 2016
This quintessential release includes Jackie Wilson’s sensational seventh LP, By Special Request, originally issued by the Brunswick label in 1961, and long unavailable on vinyl. Produced by Dick Jacobs, it contains some of Wilson’s greatest studio recordings from the beginning of his career.
By Special Request opens with the soulful title track “Cry.” It also contains well-known numbers, such as the outstanding “The Way I Am” and the celebrated standards “Try a Little Tenderness,” “Mood Indigo” and “Stormy Weather,” among others. Wilson is inspired on just about every track. There is no filler. He trills, he growls, he uses melisma, he skirts to the top of his range with his effortless ease and surprising dramatic effect.
In addition to the original masterpiece, this WaxTime collector’s edition contains 2 bonus tracks from the same period: the joyful “(So Many) Cute Little Girls,” and the soul searching of “You Cried.”
