Jackie Wilson at the Copa 1962

Jackie Wilson At The Copa is the only live album by Jackie Wilson that I know about.

It was recorded at the Copacabana in New York and released in 1962.

While I think of Jackie Wilson as a soul and R&B artist, this album seems to be close to the light jazz/lounge category. Like Sam Cooke when he performed at the Copa, I suspect that Jackie Wilson eased up on his performance for the audience.

James Brown Live At The Apollo 2 1967

Live At The Apollo 2 is a live album by James Brown recorded in Harlem, New York in June 1967.

The original Live At The Apollo recorded in 1962 was a huge success. It presented James Brown as the soul singer.

By 1967, he had started experimenting with funk rhythms and this presents more of the James Brown sound that you probably expect.
