Watch me now

Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall-of-Famer and soul artist Wilson Pickett, died of a heart attack yesterday at the age of 64. The whole story can be read here. The man was a true soul brother. He did “Land of 1000 Dances”, “Mustang Sally”, “In the Midnight Hour”… like a grittier, tougher Otis Redding.

Pickett had suffered from health problems for a while, so I suppose this didn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone. It’s always sad to lose another one of the greats, tho’. Pretty soon, they’ll all be gone and it’ll be tougher and tougher to convince the TRL-watching children of the world that music can be good without being idiotic.
