"Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)" is the opening song on Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison's 1972 album, Saint Dominic's Preview. It was released as a single and charted at number 61 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with the rare B-side "You've Got the Power".
It was inspired by a line in Jackie Wilson's song "Reet Petite". John Collis said about the song, "The exuberant scat phrase kicking off the first track, 'Jackie Wilson Said', hotly pursued by a confident, big band r'n'b arrangement, promises well."
