JACKIE'S FINEST (some of them!)

I completely agree with reviewer Mr. Holland from Las Vegas. If the reviewer had read the description BEFORE buying, he/she would have realised this is a book for people who can read/play music and want to perform Jackie's songs. It is an excellent book with many of his finest hits. However, if you know about Jackie Wilson, then more books are needed as he recorded SO MANY great songs. It does contain a neat, small biography and some excellent full page-size photos, albeit in black/white. But the reason for buying is for the songs and it contains most of his best-known songs. Now I'm off to be Jackie Wilson for a while, 5 stars from me for this excellent sheet-music book.

Excellent...for those who CAN read

This is response to the 1 star rating this SONGBOOK has received. As stated in the product description, this is a SONGBOOK, menaing it is a collection of printed music of Jackies best known hits. It's not supposed to be a biography, nor is it supposed to contain a bunch of photos....it's MUSIC!!! Having said that, this is a great collection of MUSIC. I'm delighted to see that someone has gone through the effort of compiling this SONGBOOK because, with the passing of time, the late, great Jackie Wilson is being all but forgotten. Unfortunately, there aren't many bands left who play his sort of music, and with people not knowing the difference between a biography and a songbook, I doubt this wonderful book will be in circulation very long. Anyhow, if you like Jackie's music, and want to own copies of the printed charts, and or learn how to play his music, then this is what you're looking for. If you want a biography, then buy something that actually says BIOGRAPHY. Don't diminish the value of this book by giving it 1 star...that's like giving a Pontiac a 1 star rating for not being a Mercedes Benz, makes no sense to do that.
