RIP Wilson Pickett

[Wynonie Harris]

...who has died of a heart attack at the age of 64. One of the last of the old school soul singers with a voice that could strip paint. In The Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, Land Of 1000 Dances and Funky Broadway were just some of his hits from the 60's. A mighty singer and a mighty man.

A man worthy of those sentiments and more. Rest in Peace.
