Farewell, Wicked

[BeemoKat]

Wilson Pickett, another one of the greats passed yesterday. Farewell Mr. Pickett, you'll be missed. IMHO, some of the greatest party music ever.

I was saddened by this. What made it sadder is that I am at NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Trade Show and no one seemed to know. :(

The story was on page THREE of the Oregonian, talk about insult!

I always think about S.E.A. and calling for some "Wilson Pickett" when it was time to light up or burn up something

Few could match the soul Wilson Pickett put into a song. Rest in peace Mr. Pickett.
