He had a unique style (complete with yells) combined with a very nice voice that made him a pleasure to listen to. Although he hadn't come out with anything new in a long time his classics will live forever. R.I.P. Wilson .

I am really only familiar with the two songs mentioned, and think I have "Mustang Sally" 45 somewhere. Loved that song. Boy, you know you're getting old when all these singers you grew up with and sang along with start passing away. Too bad. RIP TIS "Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

He was also famous for "Land of 1,000 Dances" originally recorded by Cannibal and the Headhunters, but Wilson's version was waaaay better. In the mid and late 60's every garage band, high school dance band, club band was doing "Midnight Hour". Thanks for the memories Wilson - that wicked, wicked - Pickett. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted - Matthew 23:12

I suppose I was never really familiar with him as an individual artist, but I've heard "Mustang Sally" and "In the Midnight Hour" many times on an oldies radio station that I've listened to for years. Actually, my family used to have an old mustang, so we would always sing Mustang Sally because of that. I also realized (or remembered...) that he was in Blues Brothers 2000. Not the best movie, as many BB fans know, but some of the people in it, such as Wilson Pickett, made up for it. He sang the song, "634-5789" with Eddie Floyd, and I just took a look back at that scene to see him in it - I'll always think about that, now.

Wilson Pickett took an R&B classic from the Rev. Solomon Burke and punched it up another notch. Gone too soon, but such a legacy! tony b. "Kid, these are my f**kin' work clothes."
