The Real Story Behind Jackie Wilson's Near Fatal Shooting In 1961

On February 15, 1961, Jackie Wilson was shot twice in his New York apartment. He lost a kidney. A bullet stayed lodged near his spine for the rest of his life. The story the public was told: a deranged fan had tried to take her own life, and Jackie was accidentally shot while heroically trying to stop her. The real story was completely different. This is the true account of what happened that night — the jealousy, the relationships, the struggle over a gun that wasn't even meant for him — and why Jackie Wilson's management worked so hard to bury the truth for decades. It's a story about survival in more ways than one. ─────────────────────────── 🔔 This channel is dedicated entirely to Jackie Wilson.
