The Great Jackie Wilson's Birthday is today, June 9th, 2005. Born back in 1934, who would've known that this little newborn baby was going to become one of the most exciting and talented entertainers in American History to date. He has influenced so many other artists for over five decades, as one can see from the likes of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and to today's Pop giant, Usher. And all three of those artists have openly/numerously paid their homage to this Rock N'Roll, R&B, Soul, Operatic, Pop legend. So, in writing this today, I'm attempting to do the same--Pay tribute and much adieu to a true artist that we'll always remember, love, and miss. Here's to you, Mr. Wilson! Happy Birthday Jackie!!!! Keep taking us higher and higher...

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Death
I read in the section here an allegation that Jackie Wilson was tortured and experimented on while in a coma. Now, aside from the fact that this being an unlikely fantastic claim, it has already been marked "citation needed." I did about a five minute search of books I could find and the internet and I couldn't even come up with another uncorroborated instance of this story. So I am deleting it and I think that the burden of proof lies in the accusers. If whosoever wrote that has a citation then I don't have a problem with it.

- I very much doubt Presley payed for Jackie Wilson's medical expenses. Presley said himself "The only thing a black man can do for me is shine my shoes," he was a straight out racist and probably didn't have the symphathy in his hateful body to pay for an African American's mans bus fare. I apoligize, but until someone can prove he really did pay for Wilson's exptenses I'm deleting this claim.Eatspie (talk) 18:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
