June 29, 1960 in Tropical Jon’s Evolution of Rock ‘n Roll: Jackie Wilson, supported by Dion And The Belmonts, Elmore James and The Vibrations, plays the sixth of seven nights at The Regal, Chicago, Illinois, USA

The Regal in the 60s

The Motor City’s Jackie Wilson
—MR. EXCITEMENT
was, without a doubt, still getting mileage out of his 1958 hit




LONELY TEARDROPS…


And supporting his latest effort
STOP DOGGIN’ ME AROUND…


 Jackie was supported by Dion And The Belmonts who were (unsuccessfully) trying to hang in there with covers like

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT…


Dion and the Belmonts were blown off the stage with acts like:

Elmore James with his latest single
TALK TO ME BABY……


AND even The Vibrations, usually an uptempo group, with their bluesy 1960 release
SO BLUE…

This was a SHOW
in Chicago's Regal Theater
in 1960!!!
