Biography

Allen LaMar Wilson, 19 June 1939, Meridian, Mississippi, USA, d. 21 April 2008, Fontana, California, USA. Wilson was a former member of the Jewels, and also the Rollers, a San Bernardino, California-based quartet who scored a hit in 1961 with "The Continental Walk". He was later signed as a solo act to Soul City, a short-lived label owned by singer Johnny Rivers. "Do What You Gotta Do" and "The Snake" reached the R&B chart in 1968, but it was not until the mid-70s that Al achieved a more consistent success. "Show And Tell" was a US mainstream number 1 single in 1974 while "I've Got A Feeling (We'll Be Seeing Each Other Again)" reached number 3 in the R&B lists two years later. Wilson's subsequent releases were less fortunate and his last chart appearance was in 1979 with "Count The Days". He remained a popular performer on the club circuit up until his death from kidney failure in April 2008.
