Wilson Pickett

Legendary Southern soul man Wilson Pickett cranked out an impressive amount of R&B singles, actively recording for nearly 40 years. Known for his rugged vocal style, he recorded at the famous Stax studios and with Philly producers Gamble & Huff. This compilation features all of his signature tracks, including "Mustang Sally" and "In the Midnight Hour."

Packaging the magnificent Best of (still using fake stereo on ten cuts) with a modification of the excellent Best of Vol. II (trading "Hey Joe," "Cole, Cooke and Redding," and "Born to Be Wild" for "Don't Knock My Love--Pt. 1" and "Mama Told Me Not to Come" even up). A must-own for the benighted. (Grade - A)
