      WoW I was just sitting back here saying to myself he's the Godfather of soul in my opinion then talked myself out of it and gave it to Brown and decided If Brown is the Godfather of soul then Mr. Pickett is most definitely the King of it.

    He had some type of positive feel-good magic. He wasn't just putting on a show he was feeling it down to his soul and sharing it with anyone and everyone, arms wide open with a great big smile. I don't know a great deal of history concerning his life, but I know he's always talked about with high regard and that his music was special. I know it's rock and roll/soul, but I'm pretty sure the prince of darkness wasn't doing this one because It's like he has angel's all around him all the time. The man was a blessing. R.I.P Mr. Pickett at least for a while. We shall see you again.

    Ok. I'm a 70-year-old white guy who grew up in the 60's, in white suburbia no less, and just not getting R and B. I preferred psychedelia and blowing my mind. Eventually my love of strange and textured sounds led to a love of classical music. Today I stumbled upon Mr Pickett again. I have a confession to make. WTF was I thinking those 50 years ago? Vanilla Fudge and Electric Prunes, their self-indulgent musical excess, have melted into a soup bowl sitting under similar unwashed dishes in my kitchen sink. Wilson Pickett's excess is of a different variety. From the soul and just a f ing gift to everyone. My belated thanks to you, sir.

    I saw this awesome soul man at three concerts and was always blown away by his music...One time he was starring with Jr Walker and the Allstars when we heard they would not make it to the concert.. The Awesome Mr Pickett played TWO sets and brought the house down.. His sound is in my soul now, and I will never forget him..

    Listening to and watching Wilson perform just makes me feel so good. As the great Sam Cooke would have said, it "sends me ".Dear God this is soul. Whether we are black, white, brown, yellow or fucking green why can't we harness this feeling and LOVE, instead of hate each other. Peace & love to all ❤.

    I was there (Black Star Square) for the 12hrs concert. The crowd was waiting for Wilson Pickett to hit stage; it was total madness when he stepped out in the Black spotted jump suit. Crowd waited too long after Ike-Tina Turner, Santana, Voices of East Harlem etc. There was a THUNDEROUS CHEER to hail the Exciting Pickett that was heard 15miles away early hours of the morning. Picket came in at the Midnight Hour and opened set with same song. I appeared in the SOUL TO SOUL movie welcoming all the artistes at the Accra International Airport. I was with traditional drummers at the opening movie and still have a DVD copy in my collections. Seeing the act on YoutTube now brings back old memories. I later saw Roberta Flack and Picket at concerts in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1985.
