Rezension aus Deutschland vom 13. Januar 2017
Alles bestens, super schnell geliefert! Die Ware ist wie beschrieben! Danke und jederzeit wieder. Kann ich nur empfehlen! Zur Musik braucht man nichts zu sagen, ist eine gute Zusammenstellung aller "Klassiker" von Pickett!
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 17. Oktober 2013
Wunderbare Stimme, tolle Musiker, Wilson Pickett hat hervorrangende Nummern abgeliefert. Nummern, die als Coverversion das Original übertreffen, wie etwa Mustang Sally, oder neu interpretieren. Ist den Kauf jedenfalls wert.
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 28. Februar 2005
Wilson Pickett had only limited success in the UK singles charts but had far more success in his native America. His first success (I found a love) was as lead singer with the Falcons, but he soon split from them to go solo. Two promising singles (It's too late, If you need me) preceded his move to Atlantic, where he recorded the classic songs for which he is best remembered.
With Atlantic, Wilson recorded In the midnight hour (his most famous song), Don't fight it, 634-5789, Land of 1,000 dances, Mustang Sally, Funky Broadway and I'm a midnight mover among other songs, all between 1965 and 1968, establishing his reputation as one of great soul singers. He enhanced that reputation with an incredible cover of Hey Jude (the Beatles classic) and had further American hits with Engine number nine, Don't let the green grass fool you and Don't knock my love. Wilson left Atlantic in 1972 but his subsequent recordings failed to make an impact.
If you are interested in sixties soul music, you should enjoy Wilson's music. This compilation, focusing on his Atlantic music but also including his three earlier tracks (the last three tracks here), contains all the essential tracks.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 17. April 2009
One of all-time soul greats,Willson Pickett was sensational,passionate and explosive human dynamo who had recorded some of the best soul hits of 1960s. His original albums were mixed affairs so that is why CD compilation makes better sense as everything is cherry-picked and follows his best moments without having to go through everything (although there is a pleasure in discovering one's own favorites).
Everything is classic here: "In The Midnight Hour","Land of 1000 Dances","Mustang Sally","Funky Broadway",634-5789" - you name it,Pickett did it,really great tiger's roar that shakes the dance floors and works out fine even now,decades after initial release.
Some very interesting Pickett takes on other artists hits are also present ("Hey Jude","Sugar Sugar","You Keep Me Hangin' On") where its clear he could sink his teeth in any kind of material and bring soul to it,makes one wonder what could he do if backed by some really great rock band,for example.
For some reason Wilson Pickett never achieved same success later - some say its because music changed and his particular gospel-based style went out of fashion,giving way to slick Philadelphia soul and later disco but I am not convinced - he stayed concert attraction long after hits stopped coming so perhaps managers,producers and collaborators (or any outside reasons) pulled all in different directions,however he stayed beloved with certain audience who idolizes him even now.
He even appears as fictional character in "The Commitments" movie where everybody trembles because Willson Pickett arrives.
Pickett was one of the stars who performed at famous "Soul to Soul" concert in Ghana (1971.) and it is fascinating documentary (recently released on DVD) where Pickett clearly steals the show from everybody else, just watch local audience going wild over him and even jumping on a stage to join delighted singer in dancing.
With all these soul classic it is interesting that CD ends (almost like afterthought) with several of Pickett's first rare recordings from previous era when he was still young,up-and-coming singer with clearly audible passion and even a little bit of Little Richard is present in his singing approach. "I Found A Love" is that rare,superb moment when gospel turns into early soul and "It's Too Late" was Pickett's first solo hit,still preceding real soul explosion for several years showing that Pickett was there when it all started.
Closing song,"If You Need Me" is of course a soul classic now but bitter victory for Pickett who wrote song himself just to find it recorded by Solomon Burke who shooted to nr.2 with it,on this CD we have original version.
Those three early songs at the end are very interesting peeks at Pickett's early recordings and very suggestive for future research about where soul music actually comes from,probably my next purchase.

With the publication of Tom Fletcher’s In the Midnight Hour: The Life and Soul of Wilson Pickett (Oxford, 2017), this is a good time to look back at Pickett’s work as an r&b and soul performer. Greatest Hits focuses on the Stax Records years, from 1965 to 1967, when Pickett’s best recordings were made. Pickett co-wrote nine of the twenty-four songs, including “In the Midnight Hour” and “Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won’t Do)”, and all of them take advantage of Pickett’s rough-edged voice and charismatic performances. This is good stuff, there’s no doubt about that. But interestingly, though Pickett’s performances are good, indeed great, on the songs I’m most familiar with, I like the performances of other soul artists more. I think the Chambers Brothers’ recording of “In the Midnight Hour” has an edge on Pickett’s, mostly because of tempo –theirs moves more. Likewise, Etta James shines on “Ninety Nine and a Half” and Buddy Guy’s “Mustang Sally” is nonpareil. This is not to knock Pickett. Rather, it shows how rich and varied soul music could be in that golden era of r&b. I particularly admired Pickett’s take on the Beatles “Hey Jude,” which was suggested to him by Duane Allman, who plays on the record, and I love the later cuts on this album, which show Pickett moving toward a more James Brown funkified soul.

Kick It, Wicked
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 11. Januar 2007
Start with a heapin' helpin' of Otis Redding, fold in just enough James Brown, then add a soupcon of Little Richard, and you've got something approximating the Wicked One, Wilson Pickett - one of soul music's premier practitioners and standard bearers. Indeed, it would be hard to find an R&B/Soul singer with more raw authority and feeling. This music doesn't encourage you to get down, it commands you.
The hits you absolutely have-to-have are all here, and it's amazing how well they stand up. For a quick clinic in "The British Invasion," check out Everybody Needs Somebody To Love. The Rolling Stones may have gotten mileage from it, but Pickett's version lays the foundation, it's authentic and electrifying. Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, Land Of 1,000 Dances, Funky Broadway, and many others have all been covered by countless lesser practitioners and frat house bands - hearing the original "reference" versions is an unadulterated thrill.
Like many Greatest Hits CDs, some clunkers flew in under the radar. I could have lived without the cover of Hey Jude, a song that was bad even when the Beatles did it. The appearance of Sugar Sugar is a mystery, the Randy Newman classic, Mama Told Me Not To Come, is equally out of place. These missteps, from later in Wicked's career, do not mar what is truly a superb CD that would be cheap at twice the price.
One song in particular set-me-a-thinkin', (an expression nobody would have ever used where I'm from), A Man And A Half. This song has the endearing braggadocio we all came to love when practiced by Bo Diddley who "wore a cobra snake for a necktie." It contains the memorable line, "Shakespeare wrote poems about me even before I was born." Like Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett exuded an unapologetically powerful and charismatic male energy that is woefully out of fashion now. If you put Babyface and Pickett in the same room, Babyface would most likely die of fright.
Shame on me for skipping past the fantastic back-up bands, especially those funky horns! Required listening.

A Great Listening Pleasure
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 14. Juni 2016
Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American R&B, soul and rock and roll singer and songwriter.
A major figure in the development of American soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which made the US R&B charts, many of which crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100. Among his best-known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally", and "Funky Broadway" which all appear on this CD.
I think the version of "Hey Jude" on this CD was his original album version. It starts out and continues for quite some time by following the original Beattles lead. Near the end, he adds the Wilson Pickett screams, prolonging the series of screams a bit too long for me. I've heard another Wilson Pickett version of this song that I thought wandered so far from the original Beatles song that I found it far less enjoyable than this version.
The vast majority of these tracks are stereo, but there are eight or nine mono tracks, mostly at the beginning of the album. On all tracks, the audio is extremely good and clean. The songs are mostly soul or Rhythm and blues, but there is also a good collection of rock-n-roll tracks.
This album was a great pleasure to listen to. It brought back memories of the late sixties and early seventies. Wilson Pickett was a great performer that every rhythm and clues or soul music fan will greatly enjoy. Highly recommended.
