edward jacobs what always tripped me out was guys like you and countless others and mainly James Brown's bass players could play the same song for 2000000000000000000000000000000000 hours and not get tired ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! much luv Mr Jacobs !!!!!
Charlotte NC 1967. Wilson and Sam and Dave…After the concert we followed the bus to his hotel and ask a guy what room…we went up knock on the door, my roommate was into record labels..he and Wilson sat on the bed for an hour and talked…they went out and got a record player to play S n D’s new album…..it was a night to remember!
'Wicked' Wilson Pickett, sung and danced with all his heart! The charged energy in his vibes, his scream loud, conspicuous and unmistakeable, left no doubt in the minds of his followers that he was the greatest soul singer of all time!
@@btexpress944The Black Keys have literally just dropped a cover of William Bell’s I Forgot To Be Your Lover which I initially mistook for a Wilson Pickett song so there’s somebody keeping that fire burning! 😁
Thanks kid, yes,, mo town,, record companies started selling rap,, same time people started shooting each other,,, hello,, my thought yes,, Africans wrote and played really good fun music,, "we" played this song in seven grade,,, "Mustang Sally" "99 and a half"mid nite hour" we loved Wilson Pickett and James Brown
So Much Talent in times of hardship... Today a 25 year old Black don't even know who Wilson Picket is, listening to rap. We Owe Thanks To Are Ancestors Before Us...
accidently bought a wilson picket cassette thinking it was gary Pucket and the union gap,happy mistake,also bought a Rhino album thinking it was Ringo,I really need to read these more closely
You have to hear the 2 songs he did with James Brown - though James could scream, Wilson was always the better singer! ruclips.net/video/24KKwn0iVhU/видео.html
@Sactical Bag ummm...I've got to disagree or let's say have some facts: back then off the top of my head: Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson add Pickett, whew! guess it's all what you like to look at, though heck, with these 3, it's a candy store. 🍭🍬🍫🍫🍫 Store owner: so this one, this one, or this one? ME; Yup! 🙋🏾♀️ lol 👍🏾
Ok. I'm a 70-year-old white guy who grew up in the 60's, in white suburbia no less, and just not getting R and B. I preferred psychedelia and blowing my mind. Eventually my love of strange and textured sounds led to a love of classical music. Today I stumbled upon Mr Pickett again. I have a confession to make. WTF was I thinking those 50 years ago? Vanilla Fudge and Electric Prunes, their self-indulgent musical excess, have melted into a soup bowl sitting under similar unwashed dishes in my kitchen sink. Wilson Pickett's excess is of a different variety. From the soul and just a f ing gift to everyone. My belated thanks to you, sir.
Lol, look up Muscle Shoals and the "Swampers". There is a documentary. Most of all the most memorable music of your era came from a small Alabama town to include this song.
@@dougshaffer5524The people who played the instruments on one or more than one albumns for Aretha F. we're in Muscles Scholes. They white guys and were fantastic in my opinion.
What an incredible performance. The energy shared between the band and the audience is pure magic. Btw Footage is from an independence day concert on March 6th, in Accra, Ghana 1971, from the documentary Soul to Soul.
In the audience at the start of the song, looks like Black Panthers up front as security…also a shot of uniformed officers (smiling). Did the Panthers travel with the touring bands?
I was there (Black Star Square) for the 12hrs concert. The crowd was waiting for Wilson Pickett to hit stage; it was total madness when he stepped out in the Black spotted jump suit. Crowd waited too long after Ike-Tina Turner, Santana, Voices of East Harlem etc. There was a THUNDEROUS CHEER to hail the Exciting Pickett that was heard 15miles away early hours of the morning. Picket came in at the Midnight Hour and opened set with same song. I appeared in the SOUL TO SOUL movie welcoming all the artistes at the Accra International Airport. I was with traditional drummers at the opening movie and still have a DVD copy in my collections. Seeing the act on YoutTube now brings back old memories. I later saw Roberta Flack and Picket at concerts in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1985.
That's it! Real music! Real emotion! Pickett left too soon, a gifted voice. Just gives me chills down my spine watching him perform. And the audience was great! Pickett might have left us way too soon but real Soul Music never dies. You can't explain Soul Music, you just can feel and celebrate it. I miss those musicians these days very much.
@@adriennerobinson1180 Real music won't ever fade. We must face hard times now all over this world but music is still here. And I believe that music can heal. We should not go to war. We could party instead. And Pickett could one of the answers.Why can't we be as one?
As a white guy growing up in the 60s in New York I knew this was music that I loved. Songs that you could actually dance to. None of this shit music that they put out today. Wilson Pickett was an entertainer and had SOUL....Thanks for the memories.
I’m a fucking white 26 year old from Connecticut. I have zero reason to connect to this music. But for the love of Christ i cry like a fucking baby watching this. It heals me, it helps me. It’s magic. It’s perfect. I love you whoever’s reading this and do me a favor and get fucking jiggy to this joint. Like you never felt soul run thru ya hands before.
Talent has no race, color or nationality. I am a Chilean that gringos would call "Latino" and I still vibrate with this type of music (translated by Google). Note: "Latino" is not a race, it is just a language relationship.
@@ganymeade5151 that was about 1967 for me a year after his greatest hits was released. I was around 3 at the time. I later saw him in concert at the legendary Front Row near Akron, Ohio in 1982, opening up for The Godfather of Soul James Brown. What a great night of good good music that was watching two of my childhood Soul Music heroes!
1966 that song burned thru the music industry. It brings me joy to see the audience smiling;dancing,endless energy. I am so, so proud to live this generation. Dave
Unless I'm missing my guess, this might have been the birth of the mosh pit. To say the crowd went crazy is an understatement. You gotta love the guy dancing on stage who felt compelled to take his shoes off to really get his groove on. The whole thing, Wilson, the band, the crowd, on FIRE! I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Pickett back in the mid 80's, and it's still one of the most memorable experiences of my entire life!
Same here! Doing it right now while I am listening to him. Fascinating the looks in the faces of the audience members here. Seems most of them are young males. In Europe and North America it would be more females than males I think.

He had some type of positive feel-good magic. He wasn't just putting on a show he was feeling it down to his soul and sharing it with anyone and everyone, arms wide open with a great big smile. I don't know a great deal of history concerning his life, but I know he's always talked about with high regard and that his music was special. I know it's rock and roll/soul, but I'm pretty sure the prince of darkness wasn't doing this one because It's like he has angel's all around him all the time. The man was a blessing. R.I.P Mr. Pickett at least for a while. We shall see you again.
What a great perfomance and it was recorded live! There are no flaws and the audience is connected to Wilson Pickett, a great frontman. Thanks God it was filmed and we can watch it today.
I was born in December 1959. I got to hear all of the great soul music from the 50's to the 70's. Soul music is part of my earliest memories and struck a chord in me from as young as I can remember. What a great musical era to be alive!
1961 here my friend and I'm with you, remember my older brother and sisters playing the 45 records back then and dancing in the kitchen to these legends, Pickett, Brown, sledge, Conley, Otis Redding, times were good then I remember and I'd like to go back again for a little bit but I'd have to say goodbye all over again to Mom, Dad, my brother and 3 sisters again. Best wishes to you!
I saw this awesome soul man at three concerts and was always blown away by his music...One time he was starring with Jr Walker and the Allstars when we heard they would not make it to the concert.. The Awesome Mr Pickett played TWO sets and brought the house down.. His sound is in my soul now, and I will never forget him..
My Friend Doug loved Wilson so much he just bust into Wilson's intro: this is Wilson Pickett, welcoming all you hippies, yippies and rounders and bounders to San Francisco. " Wilson always been one of my favorite artists. Doug killed himself in the '80s and whenever I hear Wilson, I remember my Friend I have no more. I'm thankful for Wilson's songs bringing back memories.
I'm Mexican American and I love WilsonPickett he sang for al of us getting down to the heart of the soul.siempre lleno de canción y música del mero corazon.love you always my man!
Me too, George, I ran away from my boarding house with a group of my classmates and made our way to the Black Star to experience this once in a lifetime thing!
Lord, have mercy! This is the best thing I have seen in a very long time. The synergy and energy were off the charts. The obvious joy he brought to those young people will last them a lifetime. May he rest in power.
Couldn't agree with you more. Cant tell you how many times I put this video on replay. Enjoyed seeing those young gentlemen doing their thing on stage without any interruptions. WILSON PICKETT AND HIS INCREDIBLE BAND .... SIMPLY AMAZING BEYOND WORDS!!!!!!!!!!
Wish the 3 gentleman on stage could talk about their experience on a Wilson Pickett documentary that's well over due because we need more than a 30 minute tribute in order to give MR. PICKETT his propers.
From the film soul to soul. I was getting down in the aisle of the Uptown Theatre in Chicago, while he was doing this. People just lost it. One of the best petformances ever filmed.
im a white man who grew up in that time frame. I wont debate James Brown as Godfather of doul. all I will say is that we were so lucky to hear from a bunch of great singers. There is a reason this performer was known as The Wicked Wilson Picktt! This video removes any doubt. love them all!
I love the part where he says "1,2,3" the first time and the guy in the white collared shirts facial expression looks mesmerized. It's like ''oh my gosh, what did I get my self in to"? I'm a younger guy and seen Gladys Knight and Al Green when they were older. Must of been something to see Wilson Pickett.
@Fiona Gold Thank you for asking. Let me start by saying people have told me I have an "old soul". In regards to that genre of music in my part of the country(midwest) Motown was the thing for listening to "oldies"...That being said, The Wicked Pickett didn't get alot of airtime but I've loved soul since I could turn a dial on a radio! Pushing 40 years ago now. My first intro. to him would have been his well known number Mustang Sally and Midnight hour...In my 20's I started collecting his Vinyl records. Then I fell hard for Otis Redding and artists from the Stax Label. The past 5 years its been mostly old school gospel. Good day 😃
@Fiona Gold Well, that's a tough one to answer. I was an Army man and have lived all over the country. But, I was born and raised in Omaha. Very cold on the plains and I have back injuries/arthritis. Currently, I call Southern Alabama my home...Back to the music: Do you like Otis Redding? Sam & Dave? Rufus Thomas? Been to any concerts? When I was a little boy Billy Joel was big, and my mother a huge fan. Seen him twice. In adulthood I seen Gladys Knight and Al Green. Had a chance to see BB King.(had to work unfortunately)
Wilson did so many great songs it's hard to pick one Land Of 1000 Dances was one of the best..Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, She's Lookin Good and on and on
Listening to and watching Wilson perform just makes me feel so good. As the great Sam Cooke would have said, it "sends me ".Dear God this is soul. Whether we are black, white, brown, yellow or fucking green why can't we harness this feeling and LOVE, instead of hate each other. Peace & love to all ❤.
Did I just witness one of the greatest live performances ever? that took awesome to levels unbeknownst to man!! And they say elvis is the king...LOL Wilson Picket the King of Rock and Soul!!!
when an entertainer is "in the zone" and the crowd loves him/her they could sling pudding and talk mush and it would be great.. but it takes greatness to make that happen.. and here we are seeing some, from a guy who was one of the monsters of greatness.
I was wilson pickett's bass player and band leader from 1964 to1970 and thats the gods honest truth eddy jacobs yeee!!!
Then you, my friend, are bad ass! God Bless you for making this sweet soul music!!! It makes life worth living!
Legendary!

I am 70 too. Wilson Picket, James Brown, Sam and Dave, Whew !!!! There was no obesity then LOL We danced all weekend long.
I thought I could do all the One Thousand Dances (age 18).
There was plenty of obesity then . The 300 pounders were just as light on their feet as the 125 pounders.
Make you shake what you brought with you. 😂
'Wicked' Wilson Pickett, sung and danced with all his heart! The charged energy in his vibes, his scream loud, conspicuous and unmistakeable, left no doubt in the minds of his followers that he was the greatest soul singer of all time!
Back in the day when bands had incredible talent. I miss those days.
One of the best that ever lived, listening to Pickett in 2023
Same here! I so wish we all could resurrect that SOUL in us. We need that feeling back.

As a 76 year old this is the best music from the best years of my life
Watch Tom Jones sing this. I'm sure Big Jim Sullivan is on the bass guitar. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You damn right.
I never get tired of watching this video of Wilson. 71 and dancing

But rap is all so from the sole just times have changed

Must have been so great!!!
"Pretty, smooth black, handsome the "wicked, wicked Pickett.
Sure right about that. I am now 72 remembering those times.
Yea thats an objectively beautiful man inside and out
Wilson took his live performances to another level, better yet to a different stratosphere and did it with ease. He was simply ELECTRIFYING!!!💯🎤💯
they called him mr personality for a reason :)
I'm 69 and this music still thrills my soul! It transcends races. Can still get me boogying in these troubled times!❤

Whooo...The Rev. Pickett just took us all to church... say AMEN! ;)
Amen
AMEN
Amen!
Amen, listening to “The Wicked Pickett” made you wonder if it was James Brown in a new life.
Dudes like Wilson Pickett, John Fogerty and Steve Marriott are absolute rock and roll gems.
Picketts really got the right touch with his audience
I was born in December 1959. I got to hear all of the great soul music from the 50's to the 70's. Soul music is part of my earliest memories and struck a chord in me from as young as I can remember. What a great musical era to be alive!
1961 here my friend and I'm with you, remember my older brother and sisters playing the 45 records back then and dancing in the kitchen to these legends, Pickett, Brown, sledge, Conley, Otis Redding, times were good then I remember and I'd like to go back again for a little bit but I'd have to say goodbye all over again to Mom, Dad, my brother and 3 sisters again.
Best wishes to you!
Truth Indeed
I'm whiter than Wonder Bread and their ain't wonder why
THE JOY! Love it! mr. Pickett, what a voice.
Great footage of the late great Wilson Wicked Pickett!!! Honorable mention for the kick azz band !!!!! Fantastic!!!
He's the "Wicked Pickett"!!! Lord have Mercy!!!! Love it!!! That was music 🎶!!!!SOUL LIVES ON!!!
it's impossible not to feel the joy and exuberance 50 years later.
I saw this awesome soul man at three concerts and was always blown away by his music...One time he was starring with Jr Walker and the Allstars when we heard they would not make it to the concert.. The Awesome Mr Pickett played TWO sets and brought the house down.. His sound is in my soul now, and I will never forget him..
"I'm feeling pretty good right now"
Yes, I totally hear you. Big respect.
This is just incredible. 200% energy.
We were so damn lucky to grow up in this era.
We lived in Cleveland and were able to get the Motown motor city music! CKLW. Windsor!
I say we were lucky to grow up then, everyday.
Now This Is A Man That Loves Performing!! He Looks So Happy!!!
What is soul? THIS is soul!
Soul is the ring around your bath tube. Soul is a ham hock in your cornflakes. Gorge Clinton
THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW......
Phil, you got that right. Wilson ROCKS !!!!!
brilliant soul master # 1. Sir James Brown
The Wicked wicked Wilson Pickett. Accept no substitutes. This is the Real Deal!!!
I was there at this Soul To Soul concert at the Black Star Square, Ghana.
The looks on the faces in the crowd when he said the first "1.2.3!" *Stunned and mesmerized*
Might be because they were all so drugged up
@@joshkouri6864 Nah. Stay mad though.
even the cops are lovin it...the power of music...just incredible...nobody can scream like Wicked Pickett...
Truly the best screamer. James Brown notwithstanding.
!!WILSON PICKETT!!
Wilson Pickett worked that crowd into a frenzy of joy.
Rudy edward, true that--nobody!
I was a vendor at many concerts of today where all the performers do is push buttons, front gangster and try to look hard. None perform like this.
My Friend Doug loved Wilson so much he just bust into Wilson's intro: this is Wilson Pickett, welcoming all you hippies, yippies and rounders and bounders to San Francisco. " Wilson always been one of my favorite artists. Doug killed himself in the '80s and whenever I hear Wilson, I remember my Friend I have no more. I'm thankful for Wilson's songs bringing back memories.
Am I the only one that thinks Eddie Murphy could be him in a movie they look so much alike it is freaky!
There are definitely some similarities, but I don't think I would have any problem distinguishing between the two face to face.
Really look like!
Yes indeed .
Yeah,yeah,123
It's the mustache. Lookalike? Hardly! Nope. Even if there would have been a movie on him, Eddie would have to have done that 35-40 years ago. Not now.
One HELL OF A TALENT. The people in the audience were so damn lucky to witness this great singer LIVE! Damn wished i could have. Great stuff.
One of the greatest entertainers in the business.! Plus eye candy.! 😌😏😊
Africa 🇬🇭 Ghana, 1971 Accra Sports Stadium
Nobody like the Wicked Pickett. Always loved his music & unbelievable energy.
Thats the happiest concert I ever saw in my entire life..
It's beautiful.
I'm Mexican American and I love WilsonPickett he sang for al of us getting down to the heart of the soul.siempre lleno de canción y música del mero corazon.love you always my man!
No lip syncing here just Pickett doing his thing. Have mercy!
Canadian here! The Great Outdoors!! End scene is this song/ vibe. ❤
Love how some random kid can jump on stage and dance right alongside Pickett!!!
yeah the kid was great, wonder how he learned to dance like that, wonder what he's doing now?
Some dumbass always wants to be the center of attention
@@DrVonNostrand Seriously? They were having fun! Everyone!
Those were the days, B4 9-11 and all the security measures we have now. I miss those days.
Yep back in the day it was like that unlike all these nowadays prima Donas with security bigger than potus.
I Was Brought Up In The Area Of "Wicked Mr. Pickett" And He Always Put On A Tantalizing Show, His Moves Were Great Back Then, And He Was Great Dancer!
Wilson Pickett had the tightest band my wife and I ever were blessed to have heard live, bar none. Unbelievably talented man. We miss you.
Did he die ?
Yeah, Doshia, we lost him in double aught six. He is missed.
in Accra, Ghana - Soul to Soul concert,1971
Morton Marks I
I was there,run away from shool that day to be at the BLACK STAR SQUARE
Me too, George, I ran away from my boarding house with a group of my classmates and made our way to the Black Star to experience this once in a lifetime thing!
@@george46995 What happen later?? Got an ass whipping?!
George Lutterodt, you were at the concert! Or the movie theater...
What a performance and a talent. There won't be another one like him, that's for sure.
Lord, have mercy! This is the best thing I have seen in a very long time. The synergy and energy were off the charts. The obvious joy he brought to those young people will last them a lifetime. May he rest in power.
Yes, so so true.
Couldn't agree with you more. Cant tell you how many times I put this video on replay. Enjoyed seeing those young gentlemen doing their thing on stage without any interruptions.
WILSON PICKETT AND HIS INCREDIBLE BAND .... SIMPLY AMAZING BEYOND WORDS!!!!!!!!!!
The crowds frenzy-engagement sent it 🚀!!! 🎶💃♥️
Wish the 3 gentleman on stage could talk about their experience on a Wilson Pickett documentary that's well over due because we need more than a 30 minute tribute in order to give MR. PICKETT his propers.
Where can I get a jumpsuit like Wilson's? I would pay a lot of $$$.
How can anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me
Pure soul...nice tunes
Some suckers
Ain't got no soul
No soul
There are a holes everywhere. Good music will never die.
567 ppl need a soul transplant
From the film soul to soul. I was getting down in the aisle of the Uptown Theatre in Chicago, while he was doing this. People just lost it. One of the best petformances ever filmed.
im a white man who grew up in that time frame. I wont debate James Brown as Godfather of doul. all I will say is that we were so lucky to hear from a bunch of great singers. There is a reason this performer was known as The Wicked Wilson Picktt! This video removes any doubt. love them all!
Absolutely brilliant! Brings tears to my eyes!
I love the part where he says "1,2,3" the first time and the guy in the white collared shirts facial expression looks mesmerized. It's like ''oh my gosh, what did I get my self in to"? I'm a younger guy and seen Gladys Knight and Al Green when they were older. Must of been something to see Wilson Pickett.
@Fiona Gold Thank you for asking. Let me start by saying people have told me I have an "old soul". In regards to that genre of music in my part of the country(midwest) Motown was the thing for listening to "oldies"...That being said, The Wicked Pickett didn't get alot of airtime but I've loved soul since I could turn a dial on a radio! Pushing 40 years ago now. My first intro. to him would have been his well known number Mustang Sally and Midnight hour...In my 20's I started collecting his Vinyl records. Then I fell hard for Otis Redding and artists from the Stax Label. The past 5 years its been mostly old school gospel. Good day 😃
@Fiona Gold I'm in love, I found the one, danger zone, 99 1/2 won't do, Hey Jude, If you need me, jealous love, funky Broadway, etc.
@Fiona Gold Well, that's a tough one to answer. I was an Army man and have lived all over the country. But, I was born and raised in Omaha. Very cold on the plains and I have back injuries/arthritis. Currently, I call Southern Alabama my home...Back to the music: Do you like Otis Redding? Sam & Dave? Rufus Thomas? Been to any concerts? When I was a little boy Billy Joel was big, and my mother a huge fan. Seen him twice. In adulthood I seen Gladys Knight and Al Green. Had a chance to see BB King.(had to work unfortunately)
@Fiona Gold Well, I don't do Facebook or any social media if that is what you were meaning by "chat aside".
Nothing like this stuff today's music needs a lesson
James Brown may have been The Godfather of soul but Wilson Picket was a soul singer
More like gospel. He brought the church "feeling" to the stage.
Gospel and soul! And it was FUNKY !
@@kellywillis8091 u
Otis Redding wasn't no slouch, either..
Amen.
Wilson did so many great songs it's hard to pick one Land Of 1000 Dances was one of the best..Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, She's Lookin Good and on and on
One of the greatest live performances ever!!!
Listening to and watching Wilson perform just makes me feel so good. As the great Sam Cooke would have said, it "sends me ".Dear God this is soul. Whether we are black, white, brown, yellow or fucking green why can't we harness this feeling and LOVE, instead of hate each other. Peace & love to all ❤.
Google advice, my friend.
Watching those guys dancing at the end, just makes my heart want to burst with joy! I wonder where they all are, now? ❤
Did I just witness one of the greatest live performances
ever?
that took awesome to levels unbeknownst to man!!
And they say elvis is the king...LOL
Wilson Picket the King of Rock and Soul!!!
Koolazz Fred
Yes you did.
yes
when an entertainer is "in the zone" and the crowd loves him/her they could sling pudding and talk mush and it would be great.. but it takes greatness to make that happen.. and here we are seeing some, from a guy who was one of the monsters of greatness.
You did Fred :-)
Yes.
I love it!!! The Soulful Wicked Wilson Pickett!!! Got me dancing on the couch at 2:00 in the morning! Wicked Wicked Wicked Get It Y’all!!!
Omg what an amazin piece of footage - epic.
what an amazing showman he has been. cant get enough out of this man. RIP King!!!!
Wow what a live performance! And what a band!
this is just GREATNESS! One of the greatest soul singers in front of an all-black audience. And that band can GO!!!! Shake what you brought wit ya!!!
I was the only white guy on Wilson's 1971 tour thru Dixie. I was his babe contracter. Some people are born with soul in their voice.
Hey, your a part of a legend in our hearts!
Those were the days. I know what you mean.
The wicked pickett,
Just loved his connection with the audience, and how happy he looks, what a voice, what a man.
Rip Soul brother
