Jackie Wilson Dead; Body Guarded 24 Hours Due To Kidnap Attempt

Jackie Wilson died today (January 21, 1984) in Mount Holly, New Jersey. Wilson had been comatose and was hospitalized from 1975 until his death in 1984.

Wilson was performing his hit single, “Lonely Teardrops” at a Dick Clark show at the Latin Casino in New Jersey, in September of 1975 when he suffered a massive heart attack.

A battle over his finances broke out between Wilson’s wife, Harlean and lawyers Edward Adourian and Wayne Bryant, who up until 1978, had guardianship over Wilson and controlled his finances.
