Diskussion:Jackie Wilson

er konvertierte doch auch zum judentum

Sehr dürftiger Artikel

Der engl. WP-Artikel ist gut gemacht. Der de ist schlicht sehr sehr mangel- bzw. lückenhaft, sehr stark! Dadurch wird das Leben von Jackie Wilson sehr schlecht dargestellt. Man orientiere sich z.B. an der engl. Version. Der Künstler Wilson war ein Genie, was in der de-Version leider nicht zum Ausdruck kommt, in der engl. hingegenen schon! Das Ende von Wilsons Leben wird hier mehr als schlecht dargestellt. Es erscheint so in einem völlig falschen Licht bzw. Kontext. Beim engl. sieht das korrekter aus: "As far as money troubles went, this was not even the beginning for Wilson. Nat Tarnopol had taken advantage of Jackie, mis-managing Wilson's money ever since he took the role of Wilson's manager. He even had power-of-attorney over Wilson's finances, giving him complete control over Jackie's money. Shortly before Wilson suffered a heart attack in 1975, Tarnopol and 18 other Brunswick executives were indicted on charges of mail fraud and tax evasion stemming from bribery and payola scandals. Also in the indictment was the charge that Tarnopol owed at least $1 million in royalties to Wilson. In 1976 Tarnopol and the others were found guilty; an appeals court overturned their conviction 18 months later. Although the conviction was overturned, judges went into detail, outlining that Tarnopol and Brunswick Records did defraud their artists of royalties, and that there was sufficient evidence for Wilson to file a lawsuit. However, a trial to sue Tarnopol for royalties never took place, as Wilson lay in a nursing home comatose. Sadly, Wilson died riddled with debt to the IRS and Brunswick Records.[23]

In March 1967, Wilson and friend/drummer Jimmy Smith were arrested in South Carolina on "morals charges"; the two were entertaining two 24-year-old white women in their motel room.[9]

Freda Hood, Wilson's first wife, with whom he had four children, divorced him in 1965 after 14 years of marriage, frustrated with his notorious womanizing. Although the divorce was amicable, Freda would regret her decision. She never stopped loving him, and Jackie treated her as though she were still his wife.[5] His 16-year-old son, Jackie Jr, was shot and killed on a neighbor's porch in 1970. The death of Jackie Jr. devastated Wilson. He sank into a period of depression, and for the next couple of years he remained mostly a recluse, drinking and using marijuana and cocaine.

More tragedy hit, when two of Wilson's daughters died at a young age.[24] His daughter Sandra died in 1977 at the age of 24 of an apparent heart attack. Jacqueline Wilson was killed in 1988 in a drug related incident in Highland Park, Michigan.[25]"--93.184.26.78 23:00, 1. Jan. 2014 (CET)
