Jackie Wilson also contributed to MOTOWN's founding with this song...

Reet Petite - Jackie Wilson at 78 RPM


I wish I could have found a live performance. It's better watching Mr. Excitement perform.  :)

It was just something I happened to find on a Beatles blog. I do really like him though. He's a great artist and an important influence on The Beatles.
