Wilson Pickett Dies of Heart Attack at 64
Wilson Pickett, the soul pioneer best known for the fiery hits “Mustang Sally” and “In The Midnight Hour,” died of a heart attack Thursday in a Reston, Va., hospital, according to his management company. He was 64.
I can't say I was the biggest
fan, having only 4 Pickett songs, plus the Commitments cover version of Mustang Sally, in my iTunes library, but still - the man could sing. I mean, really sing, and not in some fake, over-dubbed pansy-ass manner.
Note to self, buy more Wilson Pickett songs!
