Thanks for the tunes, "Wicked" Pickett
Wilson Pickett was among the great classic soul singers, and I was surprised and saddened to learn of his death today at age 64 of a heart attack.
I need to continue our family household moving this evening, and I plan to blare such "Wicked" Pickett songs as "In the Midnight Hour," "Mustang Sally" and "Land of 1,000 Dances" while I work.
He never reached the mainstream stature of James Brown or Sam Cooke. Still, Pickett created a memorable style and songs that will far out-distanced his time here on earth.
Here is a giant of music. I plan on playing his music loudly tonight to celebrate the magnitude of his work.
