I’m just so glad that Hot Summer Nights helped me find this song. Now I listen to it everyday, and it makes me feel so good.

The nicest man in music that I ever met. As teenagers, my friend and I would sneak backstage at The Howard Theater in DC pretending to be high school reporters. Chuck basically adopted us whenever he was in town and took us with him everywhere.

Chuck Jackson, Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke.

🗣The voices, the talent, the smooth moves on stage of these three soul singers.

What a great time for that generation.

Just some of the names of a few of the talented recording artists of the 60's.

I have not seen anything like that kind of talent here in the 21st century IMO.

RIP Chuck Jackson, Jackie Wilson and the Great Sam Cooke!!

A blast from the past.

I needed that.

It was good for my SOUL!!

This man has an awesome voice. Very strong out of this world.

I first heard this in seventh grade and asked my dad to buy a copy for me. He said of course it was just "rock and roll" but finally bought it for me. I asked him to listen and in a short time he was impressed by Chuck's voice but also the piano and strings. He thanked me!!

I was sorry to hear about the passing of Chuck Jackson. One of my favorite earliest artist and one of my all time great singers. Listening to his music brings back so many good memories. You will be missed
