"Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)" is a song written and performed by Van Morrison in July 1972. The song was according to Morrison, "particularly inspired" by a line in Jackie Wilson's song "Reet Petite" who he also was an important influence in Morrison’s early vocal style.
In the summer of 1982, British pop band, Dexys Midnight Runners recorded it for their album, Too-Rye-Ay. It was released as the follow-up single to their number-one hit "Come On Eileen" and reached number five on the UK Singles Chart.
