Wilson Pickett was born in Prattville, Alabama, and grew up in Detroit. Little Richard preached a message at his funeral.

Check out Little Richard too.

He allowed them to bring me in to watch his show, but then I had to leave. My first time ever watching a performer who I absolutely loved and bought his albums… I was in hog heaven. I was very grateful. He sang this song and others, including “Don’t let the green grass fool you”, another of my favorites

According to Wikipedia, Wilson Pickett was born in Prattville, Alabama. He started out singing in a Gospel choir, and sang with a Gospel vocal group in the early-1950s. In 1959, Pickett joined the R & B vocal group, The Falcons. In the early-1960s, Wilson Pickett started to record some solo singles. Around 1963, he signed up with the Atlantic Records label. "In The Midnight Hour" was released as a single in 1965. Other hit recordings by Wilson Pickett are "Land Of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally" (a cover of a Mack Rice song), and "Funky Broadway" (a cover of a song originally recorded by Dyke And The Blazers). Wilson Pickett is an inductee in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He passed away in 2006 of a heart attack (he was in the hospital for the previous year with various health problems), at the age of 64.

Pickett was born March 18, 1941 in Alabama, and sang in Baptist church choirs. He was the fourth of 11 children and called his mother "the baddest woman in my book. Pickett eventually left to live with his father in Detroit in 1955. After singing for four years in the popular gospel-harmony group, Pickett, lured too success of gospel singers who had moved to the lucrative music market, and joined the Falcons in 1959. Pickett's first success as a solo artist came with "It's Too Late," an original composition. Entering the charts on July, 1963, it peaked at No. 7 on the R&B chart; the same title as Pickett's debut album, released in the same year. The single's success persuaded Atlantic to buy Pickett's recording contract from Double L in 1964.

'Wicked' Wilson Pickett ... "Gravely" I think is the word you're looking for

....and I second that Hey Jude suggestion. Don't get no betta'. Wilson had his greatest success at studios in Memphis, TN and Muscle Shoals, AL ... He was 60's and into the 70's

This is also the perfect recording to show the differences between the two leading R&B record labels of the time, Motown and Stax. Motown is smooth and polished; Stax is raw and gritty. 1

This was one of my dad's favorite singers. 'Wicked Pickett' was the name of one of his albums and is what my dad called him. Loved your reaction and might I suggest 'Mustang Sally' as your next Pickett reaction?

The wicked wicked Pickett. He was wicked good. Melissa Ward. Loved his music. Such a distinctive soulful voice. Miss hearing his voice so much. Mid to late 60s era.if my memory serves me..Alabama born I think.

Great to see you listening to something many other 'Reaction Channels' aren't reacting too. The world is full of so many more songs/music than what is being viewed on every other reaction channel here. I enjoyed this one guys. Can I suggest Etta James singing 'At Last' or 'Stormy Weather', she has a fantastic voice.

Suggestions: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father,’ and last but not least ... Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.’

Eddie Holman singing "This Can't be True" early in his career is also a great performance.
