American soul and R&B singer (1934–1984) best known for such hits as “To Be Loved” and “Lonely Teardrops.” After suffering a heart attack while performing onstage in 1975, Wilson remained in a coma until his death nearly a decade later at the age of forty-nine. My Golden Favorites album signed on the back cover in blue ballpoint, “To Richard, Your buddy, Jackie Wilson.” In very good condition, with moderate rubbing and soiling, a few small stains, and wear and seam splits to edges. The signature is distinct and mostly unaffected. The record is included. Auction LOA Roger Epperson and R&R COA.
