Platters, The - Reet Petite Lyrics
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

Elvis is definitely influenced by Jackie 100%.

Real early Motown.
Composed by Berry Gordy in 1955, I guess.

I had seen Jackie approximately 150 times and only heard him do this 2 times...He traveled with a small group and this song needed a horn section.
Top that
I always love this wonderful song.

Top 100000 the best singers of rock n roll:
1. Jackie Wilson
2. Little Richards
3. Chuck Berry
4. Buddy Holly
5. Jerry Lee Lewis
.
.
85. Los Tigres del Norte
.
.
100000. Elvis Presley.
You missed roy Brown. He gets the top spot...uncultred swine..
@Charles Simpson It is a personal opinion. What I want to mention is that African Americans were much much better than Elvis Presley, this was very overrated for the talent he had. In fact, Roy Brown also had more talent than Elvis.
Written by Berry Gordy!!
My mam learnt me to dance with this song , loved it then love it now 😃
Dancesport anyone? Physical Education subject lol
What's the release date for this?
Just started the fire in the BBQ pit on this 4th of July, 2019, while having myself some Shiner Bock, and what better way to get in that feel good mood, than starting it off with some feel good music that of Mr. Jackie Wilson's-Reet Petite?!
Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate it!
✌😎🍺🍖🇺🇸🎆
🎼🎙🎸🎷🥁🎺📻🔊
I just love him!!!!😚😚😊
Fuck that shit, Elvis couldn't hold JW's slippers.
ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF ALL TIME WHO LIKES THIS ?
I was raised on this song. It sounds like my mum dancing round the kitchen making dinner. It sounds like home.
Too bad Pat Boone sucks
I was 10 when I first heard this music a neighbours son used to listen to this type of music on a Friday and Saturday evening when he was getting ready to go out I could hear it through the window and I've loved it eversince so if you're reading this thanks Brian
The vocal ability is incredible.
Very good
Just love me some Jackie Wilson! They don't call him Mr. Excitement for nothing!! Just enjoy it. Enough of the Elvis talk. Besides, they were friends anyway.
Paul and michaela boars head reading lots love Steven Harris Duston Northampton UK 💕
Dance everybody 💞
Elvis copied this man entire style.. They been stealing from us for decades!!
No he didn't. Jackie Wilson said a lot of black artist got there dance moves from Elvis. Which by the way Jackie Wilson would know as he and Elvis were good friends. Why do people like you always turn music into a racial issue. Can't you enjoy music without bringing that same old boring line up all the time. Thank god I'm not like that I listen to music because!I like music. I couldn't care less about what colour a persons skin is. Oh and stop saying Elvis stole this and that because its not true.
your feet just move on their own. great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a kid I thought the line was "Rrrrrrrreet Petite, don't put your bony elbows on me!" and my parents never corrected me XD
Berry Gordy's first hit
nice song
This song moves people really great song I'm dancing in bed me legs are moving !!!
That man know he could blow wow???
Very good
Thanx...nice to see this vids getting some hits again !
This song lifts my Spirit 😀😀😀
oh ah oh ah ooooo eeeeeee
Still rockin out in 2019!!!!!
I am rockin to this song in 2019
Lady Fusion 2020! 😍😍😍😈😂❤️😇😭😘 xx
This is interesting because it follows such classics as 'Hep De Hootie' by Tommy Sands but adds several million watts of power, determination and testosterone. Jackie Wilson laid this particular rail track that many others followed. Sounds fantastic too.
He was the best!!!
Country you are
Look who Elvis Presley copied. Jackie is the original Elvis 😍
Actually Joanne, Elvis was a big Jackie Wilson fan and went to see his shows whenever he could. Thanx for commenting !
@oldies55 yeah i no lol. Bless em both 😁
have a record of this song, like it, put it on tape.
I would like to see the interview of Jackie Wilson in the Nursing Home please
He had a stroke. He couldn't talk. High Blood pressure killed him. Drinking and smoking cigs along with the pressure of being who he was...was ripped off by many song business industries. Very sad ending. Had a stroke and was in a nursing home 4 years. Elvis Presley admired him and paid his bill...was in a coma, conscious but unaware of surroundings for about 10 years. Everyone deserted him. Michael Jackson admired him and was inspired by him, that's why he danced so much, because Jackie did!!!!!
Sad to see this was only a #62 charted hit in 1957. Thought at least top 10 if not #1.
why is this not remebered i never heard of this guy but i love love it get hollywood to put this in more movies!!!!
Absolutely young man!!!😀 Listen to his other songs. He was in a coma, partially conscious, for about 15 years. He had a stroke. Alcohol and cigarettes. LIFE STYLE!!!
There will never be another!!!!
Reminds me of my grandad x
2019 oh yea!!!!
2019 anyone ?????
Love it wish this era was back
the animated vid was the funniest that got into the charts in the 80's
C'est puissant ! Un top de top qui montre toute l’étendue vocal de ce grand chanteur ! D'ailleurs, beaucoup se sont servis de ses techniques vocales ! Bravo !
Arrangement by Milton DeLugg
Milton also arranged "To Be Loved", Jackie's "breakout" song.
2.17 Jackie and Elvis together. 2 of my most favourite singers. 😃
