Wow, that's really cool that u got to see him perform. Great vocalist. My dad knew him fairly well. I like his songs, especially "I'm In Love". That's my fave from him.

That's a great tune. Most folks know him for the uptempo stuff.
But he could also really squall a ballad.

I got to see him perform at a show in the late '60s.

Also on the bill...

Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels
Cream
The Who
The Young Rascals
The Mandala
The Blues Project
Phil Ochs
Simon & Garfunkel
The Blues Magoos
Jan and Dean
The Guess Who

(and some others that I can't remember)

...all for a whopping $3.50!

Dammitt, everyone's leaving these days. I hate to turn on the news these days because every time I do, another celebrity dies. Anyway, rest in peace "Wicked" Pickett.

I'm sure younger artists like Anthony Hamilton were influenced by him. A great singer.He will be missed.

RIP Mr Pickett.

Only by the foolish.

I've yet to see a "beginner" with the ability to accurately nail the groove and atmosphere of the Wilson Pickett arrangement.
Many may think because of the simple chord progression that it's easy to play. It's very easy to play wrong.
Unfortunately i've heard cover bands do it too many times.

And let's not even get into the vocal performance.
