Produced by Carl Davis and
Sonny Sanders,
Nobody but You was
Jackie Wilson's final and possibly his finest album. Originally issued in late 1976, it was recorded in Detroit and had top-notch arrangements by
Sanders and
David Van De Pitte. One charting single was the wise and exuberant "Don't Burn No Bridges," which featured his Brunswick labelmates
the Chi-Lites. Other highlights are the reflective "Where Is Love" -- similar in tone to another
Wilson track, "Beautiful Day" -- the buoyant "It Only Happens When I Look at You," the footstomper "Satisfy My Soul," and the
Sam Dees ballad "Just As Soon As the Feeling's Over." It's bittersweet that the LP ends with the steadfast "I've Learned About Life" -- by the time of its release, the great singer had succumbed to the effects of an on-stage heart attack from which he'd never recover.
