bra this man had the moves and the voice to go with the moves hardout we are blessed to see this man in action where would we be without this internet thing
PS: didn't mean to spoil the party's vibe with that reference to RS's lame omission of this true master from their list. What's cool -- and you can see it in the chatter on some of the other Pickett videos on this site -- is that UA-cam videos make true talent available to a whole new generation of viewers/listeners, provided they get an initial lead to it. Example: see Aho1412 above, whose Dad lent him the LP's that planted the seed to enjoy Pickett, Redding, Brown, Gaye, etc... :-)
Wow, this takes the recorded version we're all familiar with to a completely new level. The intensity and quality of this performance has floored me. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us all
I nterviewed Wilson Pickett in 1978 and he was great. Remarkably, this Grammy winner only reached #23 on the pop charts in 1966 but remains a stone classic. Whenver I hear it, though, I always think of an editorial cartoon which appeared in the paper the day after Wilson died (January 19, 2006). It showed a '65 Ford Mustang with a teenage girl in a weatshirt standing next to it. On her shirt was the name "Sally" -- and she was weeping.
Now I know I'm not the only guy who ever dated a Sally who drove a 1965 Mustang BUT I sure as hell did. Sally Elizabeth Arnold was her name and MAN could this wonderful lady dance! Geeeez. We were both our of the Class of 1965 (Santa Fe High School/Santa Fe Springs, Ca.) and when I got back from the war at the end of 1970 we started dating. We almost lived at the Golden Sails in Seal Beach, Ca. during 1971 ~ should have asked her to marry me but I didn't. She now lives in Lakeport, Ca.
Good Lord -- that is one stunning clip! ! ! Like this one even better than the recording itself (which is no small thing) -- the Wicked Pickett in top form, with terrific backing. Rolling Stone magazine put out a list of "100 Immortals" a few years back that somehow failed to list Wilson Pickett. Speaks volumes about the cranial-rectal inversion of those who drew up the list. Thanks a ton for posting...
This and "In the Midnight Hour" were really his 'signature' tunes -- rightbehind them were such classics as Funky Broadway, Land of 1,000 Dances, and Everybody Needs Somebody to Love. But his whole body of work was awesome. I guess it could just have easily been "Camaro Sally" if it weren't for the extra syllable... :-)
AbtLoveandPeace YOU CAN SAY THAT OVER AND OVER. I mc'd a show at HARA ARENA in DAYTON,OHIO in 1968 when I was working at W.I.N.G. radio. MITCH RYDER and the DETROIT WHEELS were there "AND" WILSON PICKETT I will never forget that night. THEMOJOMANdot COM
@macdelight but that aint 1965 bru... soul train wasnt even out yet! go check the catalog...........better yet go find an Ebony magzine from 1965! zero afros! that footage aint from 1965 !
Personally , I think Wilson Pickett is the greatest pure Soul Singer ever ... Stage presents , voice , songs and that EFEN million dollar smile .
bra this man had the moves and the voice to go with the moves hardout we are blessed to see this man in action where would we be without this internet thing

GREAT SONG 4EVER!!!!*****5+ Yeah....See you my guitar version!!!
Rhythm section is kickin'! And yeah, he does look like Eddie Murphy.

(he did gig with Pickett for a short while in mid sixties)

I see two guitar players but none of them is left handed so i guess it's not Hendrix playing on this one.....
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that Hendrix playing the guitar? Sounds like him and he did used to play with Wilson Picket
Have still got all of his L.Ps
WOW.. This is ART!
Thanks for sharing with us :o)
I have NEVER seen or heard the original WP from back in '65...
Thanks again!
Man that's quite a band! Six horns, two guitars, bass, drums. I'm not sure about organ. I can't hear or see one.
I wish we still had it! they looked fantastic, sharp and very attractive :) Men just look better in a good suit!
This is contagious!
Wow, and they buried him in my hometown, Louisville Ky.,. this is what they called Soul, or later Funk.
this really is in 1965?
ricky...........another great tune by a group that was and had so much soul added to their music
Good news folks Justin going to cover this song. He's going to add a whole lotta soul!
or Clifton Powell but i think Eddie would be better after seeing him in Dream Girls. LOL
