Even if weekend is almost over let me cheer you all up with some good vibes. “Reet Petite” by Jackie Wilson was released on August 1957 and it was the first song Jackie recorded after he left the Dominoes. The song was written by Berry Gordy, Gwen Gordy Fuqua and Wilson’s cousin Roquel “Billy” Davis and produced by Dick Jacobs, and its title was taken from the Louis Jordan song “Reet, Petite and Gone”. It was Jackie Wilson’s first recording as a solo artist. The song peaked at #62 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1957 and reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart. With the success of the song, Gordy was able to fund the launch of Motown Records. If you guys haven't had the chance to listen to this song yet, I suggest you all to give it a try because it’s really good. Enjoy “Reet Petite” by the amazing Jackie Wilson.😘🎶
