Jackie “Sonny” Wilson nació el 9 de Junio de 1934 en Detroit (Michigan, USA). La familia de Jackie, procedentes del Mississippi, es un poco peculiar; su padre, Jack, es un borrachuzo de mucho cuidado, además de no conocérsele actividad laboral; su “pobre” madre, Eliza Mae, perdió a sus dos anteriores hijos por lo que el pequeñín de Jackie era su vida entera.
Bien pequeño, el bueno de Jackie se ganaba la vida como buenamente podía y sabia, cantando.
