JACKIE WILSON [ca. 1957] Photo archive

Set of five vintage original glossy black-and-white photos: three approximately 10 x 8″ (25 x 20 cm) and two approximately 9 x 7″ (23 x 18 cm), one with typed publication label on front and two with stamps on verso (covered by photo agency label), overall near fine.

Five publicity portraits of the great singer Jack Leroy “Jackie” Wilson Jr., prominent in the transition from rhythm and blues into soul music. Two have record label info printed on front, suggesting a publication date of at least 1957 when Wilson was signed to Brunswick Records.
