Jackie Wilson
One of the greatest soulmen in history, Jackie Wilson wasn't born nor did he ever live in New Jersey, but he died in Jersey. On September 29, 1975, he was onstage at The Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, performing as part of "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock'n'Roll Revue," singing his signature song "Lonely Teardrops." When he got to the line in the song that goes "my heart is crying, crying," he suffered a massive heart attack and keeled right over. Fans thought it was part of the show as Jackie Wilson always fell to his knees during that song. But, in this case, he never got up. Dick Clark told the band to stop playing. Jackie remained inert. Stunned fans were in shock as they saw him being carried out to a nearby hospital. The man remained in a coma for nine years. Elvis Presley paid for most of Jackie's hospital bills. Michael Jackson paid for Jackie's funeral and gravestone. They were both huge fans.
Wilson's "Lonely Teardrops" debuts at #7. And we hail the late Bobby Darin for having Teaneck's Clyde McPhatter on his nationally televised special (#10).
