    That VOICE!! Wilson Pickett was an icon, to be sure. "Mustang Sally" HAS to be your next one, it's a classic. Follow that up with "Stagger Lee", and "If You Need Me".

    This looks like it was filmed at the Soul to Soul concert in Ghana, also called the "African Woodstock". In 1971 the government of Ghana invited several black American acts to perform in celebration of the nation's fourteenth year of independence. It's some of the most electrifying concert footage you'll ever see.

      Soul to Soul concert filmed in Ghana is excellent. I had the video-VCR version at one point. I played it so much it just broke. It’s a must see. The scene of Wilson Pickett at the airport after they arrived - loved at. Also Ike & Tina Turner, Roberta Flack, Voices of East Harlem, Santana & some of the best performers & best performances ever!!! The Ghanaians loved it. Amazing footage.

    Wilson's cover of Hey Jude, with Duane Allman on lead guitar is a must. Jimmy Johnson, of the Muscle Shoals recording studio said that when wilson and Duane recorded that track, "and then there was Southern Rock".

    • @thebuzzman13

      Best of all to say that Mr. Picket was ambivalent about recording this song and the long haired hippie who suggested it would be an understatement.

      I'll have to watch that! Dan Aykyroid loves this stuff. He started House of Blues to promote African American music. I think it eventually became the second largest music promotion company in the world.
      And of course, the Blues Brothers movie was his love song to all these artists. I so want J&A to react to it when they start doing movies.

    Some other 60s dance favorites Spencer Davis Group - "Gimme Some Lovin'" or The Human Beinz - "Nobody But Me"... I use to dare my kids to count how many times they say "no" in the song.

    The "Na Na Na Na" verse or chorus of the song was not in the original song by Chris Kenner in 1962, but was added in 1966 by the East Los Angeles group Cannibal and the Headhunters because the lead singer forgot the lyrics during recording so he ad-libbed, it sounded so good that they kept it in the recording. the rest is music history. The Beatles asked the band to open for them in their 1966 tour.

    Such a great performance. PIckett had a huge hit with this in 1966, four years after Chris Kenner released the original (which didn't chart as high as Pickett's). The song was later referenced in the B52s' 1978-79 song, "Dance This Mess Around," which contains the line, "do all sixteen dances," the number of dances mentioned by Pickett in this song.

    Wilson Picket was the perfect example of the formula of, the more energy you put out to the audience, the more they give back. If everyone in the house is exhausted AND amped up a the end, it was a good show.

    MUSCLE SHOALS MUSIC! Woohoo! The studio version was recorded right down the street at FAME Recording Studios! And it is fire!
    But in my opinion, it’s nothing compared to Wilson’s cover of the Beatles’ Hey Jude!! Duane Allman talked him into recording it while Rick Hall & his musicians (The Swampers, as in Sweet Home Alabama) were gone to lunch! It’s unbelievable! SOOOO much better than the Beatles’ version.
    If y’all haven’t seen “Muscle Shoals,” you should check it out. It’s a documentary about Rick Hall & The Swampers & the Muscle Shoals Sound. You’d love it!
    Tom Jones recorded in Muscle Shoals, & that’s the Wilson Pickett connection. It would blow your mind to know who all recorded here! Aretha Franklin, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, Bobbie Gentry, The Osmonds, Paul Simon, Bob Seger, Etta James, Candi Staton, Alabama, Clarence Carter, Arthur Alexander, Julian Lennon….

    More soul please! Otis Redding is one of my favourites: "I Can't Stop Loving You", "Try a Little Tenderness" are great songs to start with. And as many have commented below, "Mustang Sally" is probably the most iconic Wilson Pickett song of all. So many more artists that this leads into and that you would love; Jackie Wilson, Sam and Dave and the list goes on and on. As you are realizing, an amazing thing happened starting in the late 50's and continuing into the early 70's. It was an explosion of incredible music and artists like we've never seen before or after.

    I've never heard a live performance of this before, but a studio performance by him was always a live show in the early days. And the story/sermon reminds me of a couple of things: Bobby Womack's intro to "The Preacher/More than I Can Stand"; and a story song I first heard back in the 8-track days called "Soul," by a _band_ called S.O.U.L. (it was *very* hard to find on UA-cam 😄). Um, he *stayed* fired up, which is all I'm gonna say about that.

Wilson Pickett is a true legend. This is real Rock and Roll In this great song he is singing all the dances that were big at the time. This could possibly be the start of a mosh pit. Only in a good way. On the 45 there are alot more na, na. na's

  • @channelthree9424
    @channelthree9424 2 роки тому +1

    This is actually a cover of a cover but it’s the most popular version.
    “The song is famous for its "na na na na na" hook, which Cannibal & the Headhunters added in their 1965 version, which reached number 30 on the Billboard chart.[1] The hook gave the song further notoriety. The "na na na na na" hook happened by accident when Frankie "Cannibal" Garcia, lead singer of Cannibal and the Headhunters, forgot the lyrics.[2] The melody to this section was also created spontaneously, as it is not in Chris Kenner's original track.”

    The drummer Willie Leacox from the band 'America' passed away this past week. He was the drummer for the band for 41 years. He did retire from the band in 2014. He had started with the band in 1974. The best song to hear him play his drums is a song called "Tin Man". "Tin Man" became the band's fourth top-ten hit in the US. The band has been around since 1970. America won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist and was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Group at the 15th Annual Grammy Awards in 1973. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2006 and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012. They still tour to this day. February 24, 2022 the band America will be playing LIVE at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, OK.
