Conocido como "Mr. Excitement", Wilson fue importante en la transición del rhythm and blues al soul.

Alcanzó la fama en sus primeros años como miembro del grupo vocal de R&B Billy Ward and His Dominoes, continuó su carrera en solitario en el año 1957 y grabó más de 50 canciones de éxito que comprendían estilos como el R&B, pop, soul, doo-wop y el easy listening. En 1975 durante un concierto benéfico, sufrió un ataque al corazón en el escenario que le sumió en un coma durante casi nueve años hasta su muerte en 1984. Por esta época, se había convertido en uno de los artistas más influyentes de su generación.
