I remember Jackie Boy as a child growing up in the Hickory Hill area. He was my mother's (Ruth Hill) paper boy. When ever Jackie Boy would come to collect his money for the week he would always show us how well he could dance like James Brown. The Hill family extend our c ondolences to the Best family.
