Biografia


Considerato uno dei più grandi performer di ogni tempo (tantissimi gli artisti che si sono ispirati a lui, primo fra tutti Michael Jackson), venne soprannominato Black Elvis e Mr. Excitement. Wilson svolse un ruolo fondamentale nell'evoluzione del R & B. Nei primi anni di attività fu membro del gruppo vocale The Dominoes, avviando una fortunata carriera da solista a partire dal 1957. Registrò oltre 50 singoli di successo, nei quali si cimentò in numerosi generi, R & B, pop , soul, doo-wop e adult contemporary. Durante un concerto di beneficenza nel 1975, si sentì male sul palco a causa di un attacco di cuore mentre cantava Lonely Teardrops ed entrò subito in coma, rimanendovi per quasi nove anni, fino al decesso avvenuto nel 1984.
