Originally broadcast on Radio 1 in July 1975, this archival episode of My Top 12 features an exclusive conversation between soul pioneer Jackie Wilson and host Brian Matthew. Riding the wave of his massive mid-70s UK chart resurgence, "Mr. Excitement" sits down to select and discuss the 12 tracks that profoundly influenced his musical DNA. From early gospel and rhythm and blues to vocal powerhouses, Wilson shares intimate reflections on his vocal style, his legendary stagecraft, and a lifetime spent shaping modern soul music.
