In 1957, Jackie Wilson left the Dominoes and released this debut album on Brunswick Records a year later. The new songwriting team of Berry Gordy, Jr. & Tyran Carlo (aka Billy Davis) wrote six of the 12 songs. Backed by a big band, Wilson belts out &Reet Petite& like it's an Olympic event, displaying his irresistible vocal gymnastics; &Etcetera& treads the same path, but lacks the dynamics. &To Be Loved& and &Danny Boy,& the old standard, are heartfelt, stately ballads. Wilson wrote &Come Back to Me,& a rather bland jump tune. An overblown big-band sound mars all but the most crafted creations, and there's no denying Wilson's fantastic takes, but the Brunswick sound may be a bit too full for die-hard soul lovers.
