Wilson had rejected the song saying he didn't want to do it. During a lunch break, Duane convinced him that he needed to do it then proceeded to show him how he should do it. It was a BIG hit for Wilson. Skydog was a great influence to Wilson on this song.
When Eric Clapton heard this song he was amazed by the guitar at the end of the song and when he found out that it was Duane Allman he asked him to record with him on the Derek and the Dominoes Layla which he did.
Wow. I didn't know that inspired that.
The story behind this song is great! It was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, at Fame Studios. The 60's south didn't like Wilson for being "black," and they didn't like Duane even more because he was a white, "long hair hippie." One afternoon, the Swampers, the Fame Studio musicians, all went to lunch, so Duane and Wilson stayed behind. By the time the Swampers came back to the studio, Wilson and Duane had already laid out where they wanted to go with the song, so when the band joined them, it came together as this magical blend of Wilson's and Duane's incredible genius that we know today. When I hear songs like this, I think to myself how blessed the human race is to be able to enjoy such soul-touching music.
A lot of Great Music came from Muscle Shoals! Many Legends recorded there to get that swampy sound!
Well the rest of your close story. Eric Clapton heard that lead rip and hence LAYLA.
Actually Wilson didn't want to do this at first and Duane talked him into it. Wilson wanted his own music.. We are so glad he did. Awesome
@@Kachunk673 Nor did Rick Hall, but you're missing the point I was trying to make. The point is that, in spite of the prejudices of the time, Wilson and Duane cut the song that, as Jimmy Johnson describes it, was the birth of the Southern Rock genre. (Yes, as Gregg put it, that's like saying Rock-Rock, but you get the point) The genius of Duane and Wilson was nothing short of brilliant.
Didn't miss the point and totally agree.
This is the song that made Clapton aware of Duane. He was reported to have said Duane's ending solo was the best demonstration of rock guitar in history.
The allman brothers band wasn’t even together yet when Duane told Wilson he should record this song. Duane went to muscle shoals Alabama to the famous recording studio because big time talent was recording there. He pitched a tent out in the parking lot and just hung around. and Duane went in and talked Wilson Pickett into doing this song while all the studio musicians and producers were gone to lunch.
The reason they stayed behind was Duane was a long hair white boy and Wilson was Black. Then this happened!!!
Duane was just 24 years old, and riding his Harley Davidson Sportster, swerved to miss a truck that pulled out in front of him. The bike High sided, flipped him off, laned on top of him causing massive internal injuries. A year later Barry crashed his motorcycle into a bus, rode home, and later passed from a brain bleed. Our phone rang soon after, it was Duane and Gregory's mother Geri calling, and asked to speak to my mother. Lord Not Again! She cried, and I've cried many tears since.
They absolutely KILLED it. Duane suggested to Wilson that he should do this song.
Another great one..King Curtis and Duane Allman ..Games people play..
I love Wilson's voice, I don't like the Beatles I think he did it better than they did
"Loan me a Dime" with Duane Allman and Boz Scaggs is a must listen tune. They got the muscle shoals swampers backing them and it's pure fire.
YES INDEED !!!!!!
What a collaboration...
I grew up in the 60s listening to Wilson Pickett. I recently learned Tom Jones loved and admired him. Some of his songs include "Mustang Sally", "Land of a Thousand Dances", "Funky Broadway", and "Midnight Hour". Brilliant performance!
There’s video of Tom and Wilson singing together on Tom’s TV show!
OMG!! Incredible
Duane Allman also worked with jazz flutist Herbie Mann, "Push Push" is a very funky & groovy piece they did together...
Nice song w Herbie
Those guitar licks from Duane Allman at the beginning of the song are like chef's kiss. And the Wicked... wow. Just wow.
I never liked this song until these great guys did it..poured the soul into it ! Duane died in a motorcycle accident he was 23..then exactly 1 year later their Bass player Berry Oakley in yet another motorcycle accident a block away from where Duane died in Macon Georgia..so damn sad ..RIP to them all 💙
Wilson is one of the most distinct and soulful voices ever. Daaaaayum! That man could saaaang! 😉
Duane, in my opinion, is one of the three best guitarists ever. Jimi and Stevie Ray are the other two. It's incredibly bizarre that all three died so young. 🎸🐐
Hard to disagree with you.
Dickie Betts was on that level, think about he was used to playing across the stage from Duane, then he's gone he had to play all the guitar parts, they picked up Chuck Leavelle , who was a brilliant piano player, and the band went on to great commercial success, true it can't be the same after losing Duane, not to mention Berry Oakley whose bass style was phenomenal, Berry really took Duanes death hard, but they carried on and still made great music, Duane and Dickey were both great just a little different from each other, but so great together, that's what was missing after they lost him
Legend.
Recorded at Muscle Shoals, Alabama with the in house rhythm section-the Swampers- others who recorded there include: Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Clarence Carter Wilson (he was somewhat local), Stones, Skynyrd, and others. Wilson's voice was great!! This is the best version of Hey Jude.
So happy Duane was able to convince Wilson to do this one during a break in the action at the studio. At first they thought he was crazy then this was the result, pure genius on all accounts!
The Beatles song always produced chills at the close out of Hey Jude and Pickett & Allman were able to produce the same chills to
close the song but in a completely different way! Amazing cover and great reaction!
Love Wilson Pickett. Legend. 👍❤🤙
This song was actually suggested by Duane Allman To Wilson Pickett at muscle shoals while the other musicians took a lunch break there ,just as the musicians were returning back to the studio
they walked into this and witness these two performing this incredible cover of HEY JUDE !
Oh and doesn't Wilson Pickett strongly resemble Eddie Murphys character on Saturday night live playing as James Brown 😅
when i was in the Army i saw Wilson at a club and he was not as well known yet. (1965)💚
Re Duane Allman's death, he was killed in a motorcycle wreck just as the band began to really hit big. Live at the Fillmore was out, they were working on Eat a Peach, then he was gone. Berry Oakley on bass also died on a motorcycle almost exactly a year later. Sad. So young.
The boys at muscle shoals, Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman hit a home run on this. A taste of gospel,soul and blues all rolled into one. They lay down that groove then in comes Wilson with the vocals and then the horns and organ, Good God! It takes balls of cast iron to try and cover a Beatles song, any Beatles song,cause how do you top perfection?? Especially Hey Jude ,just a few months after it came out and guess what it went right up the charts again ,I believe to #1. Pickett and Sky Dog owned this like it was theirs and in a way, it was!!! I never tire of hearing either version!
And this was the beginning of "Southern Rock!"
Duane was a studio musician at Muscle Shoals they did a quick collaboration. Cross over nit gold.
Lol😂 “I can see the sparkle in your eye”!
😂
This was just one of Duane’s sessions he did. I hope you read his resume. The people he played with were some of the greats. The guy was one hell of a guitarist……… I saw them in the seventies. Multiple times and Duane was the reason most of the time. I played the guitar also and I was absolutely spell bound with his talent. He was killed in a motorcycle accident. Then the bass player in the band, AB, Barry Oakley who was Duane’s best friend died from a motorcycle accident less then a mile from where Duane died almost a year to the day Duane died. They are buried side by side in the cemetery.
Two years ago I visited Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, where this all happened. Very nice people.
Duane talked Wilson into recording this song. Check out The Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally for some more of Wilson’s hits. They didn’t call him the Wicked Pickett for nothing. The band was the classic Muscle Shoals house band in Alabama.
Muscle Shoals is a must see for anyone who wants to be educated in American music,also The Wrecking Crew, Sound City,Hired Gun and there’s more but the musicians who created most of vocalists sound have to be acknowledged☮️👏👏👏👏👏👏
Also, the Funk Brothers out of Motown era.
Supposedly according to Wilson Pickett, Duane played on Mustang Sally and other f his tubes, 1965 recordings. Wilson said Duane came around real young skinny white kid and many rhythm and blues outfits used him, couldn't deny his playing no matter his age
Others have said this already, but thought I'd flesh it out a bit. Duane was killed in a motorcycle crash on October 29, 1971 at the age of 24. Just over a year and only three blocks away from Duane's crash site, bassist Berry Oakley was killed in a hauntingly similar motorcycle crash, on November 11, 1972. He was 24, as well.
Duane got a job as a session player in Muscle Shoals after his and Gregg's band Hourglass broke up. His session work was credited with getting The Allman Brothers a record contract again.
This recording came about by the suggestion of Duane Allman, Wilson thought Duane was joking when he suggested it. The song went on to enjoy success, peaking at #13 on the Billboard R&B singles chart in 1969 and #23 on the top 200. Wilson Pickett is probably most famous for the cover of Mac Rice's Mustang Sally in 1966, reaching #23 on the pop charts that year. What a voice Wilson Pickett had! This song was recorded at the infamous FAME studios in Muscle Shoals. Thanks for reacting guys. What a gem of a song!
This was recorded in Muscle Shoals and Dwayne was just hanging around as a house band player. He was the one to suggest Wilson do this song.
Airplay Beats! If you want to get into a little music history? Watch the documentary "Muscle Shoals", which is about "The Swampers"! A legendary rhythm section, who worked with the proverbial "Whos Who" of Rock and R&B artists! Also sadly Duane Allman died from injuries due to a motorcycle accident! One can only wonder how much more great music that he could've created had he lived? Peace!!!
Best music documentary I've ever seen 💯👍💞
Wilson Pickett (the Wicked Pickett) did songs like Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, Funky Broadway just to name a few off the top of my head.
Yes, this was done when Duane was a session musician in Muscle Shoals. Duane talked him into doing this song. Wilson Picket's best-known song was "In the Midnight Hour." Duane didn't sing background on anything at Muscle Shoals that I know of, but he played the fuck out of the guitar for Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Boz Scaggs and others. Duane's backup work was what Eric Clapton noticed about him before they worked on Layla.
Duane Allman stared Wilson Pickett in the eyes the whole time he played the solo. That was the birth of Southern Rock. He was killed in a motorcycle crash at 24 years old
Duane talked him into playing it while the other boys were out to lunch!!!!
I like Wilson Picket the way he sings this song. Hey Jude.
You should check out the live recordings of Wilson in Ghana! Astounding. This sounds like Duane's work with Derek & The Dominoes.
Absolutely killer Vocals by Wilson, horns, and Duane on guitar, how could you not love it. Eric Clapton heard this song on radio, contacted his manager/producer and informed them he needed to meet the guy playing guitar on Hey Jude with Wilson Picket. He dropped in on an ABB session and invited Duane to play and record with his band on the Derek and the Dominoes recordings of Layla and other assorted Love Songs. The rest is history as they say. EC invited Duane to play and tour with his band, but Duane wanted to create his own brand of music with the ABB. He died several months after recording with Eric Clapton. As the story goes, Duane, disillusioned after recording in CA, with studio execs trying to force a round peg to fit into a square hole, departed and heading down to Muscle Shoals, hoping to get a gig playing guitar. Studio execs there informed Duane that there brand of R&B didn't rely on guitar, but he could pitch a tent and stay on their property. Duane and Wilson Pickett apparently got along very well, and one afternoon when the producer and much the band went to lunch, Duane (long haired hippie types were not looked highly upon down south in those days, so Duane preferred staying in) convinced a reluctant Wilson that Hey Jude could be transformed into an R&B hit, and showed Wilson just how it could be done. Upon returning from lunch, the producer was shocked to find that Duane had taken over the session and arranged this smash hit and other tunes on the album. Duane was a force of nature, but as the proverb goes, "the candle that burns twice as bright, must also burn twice as short". He was like comet in the sky, a shooting star. But his impact is still being felt today 50+ years later, as has been the case with many of the greats.
The BROTHERS!!! LEGENDS!! Duane died in a motorcycle accident in Macon GA. Almost to the day a year later bassist Barry Oakley died the same way and almost the same spot. Crazy
This riff , right after the vamp was the start of The ALLMAN Brothers and southern rock. Duane did some incredible session work in Muscle Shoals.
You guys should check out The land of 1000 dances by Wilson Pickett.
Off of the same album, Duanne Allman Anthology..is a rare Gem..Aretha Franklin with Duanne ..remember kids Duanne was studio musician at legendary Muscle Shoals recording studio, before he and his brother Gregg decided to form Allman Brothers. The song is called It Ain't Fair to and it was Aretha in the very start of her career..
That was incredibly beautiful ,
I have never heard this version.
I'm familiar with Wilson Pickett but I have always been into rock since hs 78/81 still until this day.
However my son is more of a motown type oldies style music and is know appreciating rock music much more now.
I doubt that he has heard this version,
Sending it to him now.
I can't wait to here his reaction.
Let us know what he thinks.
This is at Muscle Shoals. Duane kept hanging around the studio and bugging Wilson to do this song. They say this is the beginning of Southern Rock. Wilson and James Brown...best screamers of all time!
This is for anyone that loves Duane's work and jazz. Check him out with legendary jazz flautist Herbie Mann.
Thanks for this!
One of the craziest things is that Duane had the idea to cover a Beatles song that was at the top of the charts, and completely reinvented. Not bad for a guy about to turn 22.
This was before the Allman Brothers when Duane was a studio musician at the famous Fame Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Wilson had a famous song Mustang Sally in about 1965!
Duane died in a motorcycle accident and a year later Allmans bass player Berry Oakley also died in a motorcycle accident very close to the spot that Duane died.
When they recorded this The Beatles version was #1 on the charts, no one had ever covered a song while it was on the charts, this version went to #1 on the R&B charts
Skydog 🤘" Muscle Shoals have got the Swampers and they've been known to pick a song or two" Ronnie VanZant
Wilson’s band had 2 drummers and is where Duane got the idea for 2 drummers since this is BEFORE the Allman Brothers were formed!
Duane also played on the entire Hey Jude album and Aretha Franklin tracks as well.
During your reaction to "Not My Cross to Bear," you mentioned how much you loved Gregg's voice. Pickett recorded a song called "I Found A Love" when he was with a group called the Falcons. Gregg covered it later, and, let me tell you, he sang his HEART out! It's on youtube if you'd like to hear it.
There's an amazing Tv live duet with Wilson Pickett and Tom Jones, both dressed impeccably. Jones is hanging in there with Wilson, then towards the end Pickett goes into beast mode and his vocals explode. Poor ol' Tom Jones just has to keep going whilst pickett tears the house down. If you guy's havent already seen it, i'd recommend checking it out.
Duane died in a motorcycle wreck in Macon, GA at the age of 24. Less than 13 months later Allman Bros bass player Berry Oakley died in a motorcycle accident with a city bus about 3 blocks from where Duane died, also at the age of 24. They were buried in the same cemetery.
You guys should check out some live Wilson Pickett... he's a force of nature! 😳😎
For another great collaboration check out The Band and the Staple Singers doing The Weight from The Last Waltz filmed by Martin Scorsese! It’s one of the grandest things you’ll ever see. Mavis Staples is my vocal idol!
Duane also played with Clapton
I just saw this one guys! Just starting it but I’ve always loved this version and they both kill it to close out the song! Duane kills it!
In the Midnight hour...Wilson Pickett
I just love you guys. Mostly for just being smart😊
Duane Allman talked Wilson Pickett into doing this song while they were in Muscle Shoals Alabama
They r both singing! Duane and Wilson
Jerry Wexler of Atlantic records called to find out who the guitar player was. Also Eric Clapton was so interested in meeting diane he came up from southern Florida to see Allman brothers play. He invited diane to criterion studios and Duane played on every song but three on Derek and the dominos Layla and other love songs double album. Duane hit a peach truck on his motorcycle.
"Mustang Sally", "Land of a Thousand Dances" - Wilson Pickett
when you dig deeper you will learn about the teenage white boys of behind The Muscle Shoals Sound. I'm Thankful to have grown up along The Chitlin Circuit of the 1960's era. Back when my brothers would back up the performers at our local venue in Lake City, Fl., before our folks opened The Stable, for The Dark Horsemen band (my brothers, and friends). Duane, Greggory, and The Allman Joys drove up from Daytona Beach to play. We discussed how The Beatles were good, but Mae said they needed more Soul. Duane was the coolest. He made it happen, and So much more.
Thank y'all for your kind thoughts of this ole friend of mine.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chitlin' Circuit was a collection of performance venues throughout the eastern, southern, and upper Midwest areas of the United States that provided commercial and cultural acceptance for African American musicians, comedians, and other entertainers during the era of racial segregation in the United States through the 1960s.
The Chitlin' Circuit was considered to be by, for, and about black people. There is debate as to when the Chitlin' Circuit peaked. Some say its peak was in the 1930s, some say it was after World War II, and others say it was the time of the blues.
Good idea, Duane.
From the Muscle Shoals documentary, "...and Southern Rock was born!"
Duane also talked Aretha in to doing The Weight. Arguably one her biggest hits and this tune one of Wilson's biggest. As the story goes that Wilson shows up at the Swamp. Duane was a sessions musician. Duane tells Wilson that he should do this tune, Wilson replies, "why would the King of Soul want to do a POP tune ????"
Paul has a very good voice but the voices of the great R&B Soul Musicians touch and go through my soul so this version touches me much more
Dwayne died having fun playing on his motorcycle May rest in peace
A motorcycle accident...
Also Barry Oakley the bassist for the Allman Brothers died in a motorcycle accident not far from where Duane was killed. Crazy....
Wilson Pickett, Mustrang Sally!!
Ya'll have to watch Muscle Shoals Documentary, they cover how this session came about...and Southern Rock was born
Recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals Al.Rick Hall of Fame played the song for Adam Wexler at Atlantic Records He loved it but he loved Duane more.. He told Rick to get Duane get a band together ...The Allman Brothers and Southern Rock was born. By the way Mustang Sally and Land of a 1000 dances were big for Wilson Pickett
Wilson Pickett's big hits were "In the Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally. One of the best Genre crossing duos ever IMO !!!
Totally Duane's idea to do this song nobody bought him in.... he was already there recording other artists like Aretha....Check out Duane Allman an Anthology....2 Double albums....incredible all the different songs and artists he played on.
Clapton heard this and had to know who was the dude playing that killer guitar!
Shake for Me by John Hammond Feat. Duane Allman is a great tune...
If I remember correctly Aretha recorded with Duane too.
The Weight by the Band! Great cover as well....
Oh, sorry - one more thing: The "Remember Duane Allman" isn't a mural. A group of guys carved it into the side of the highway - I can't remember which interstate it was. Again, those letters are hand-carved into Georgia red clay.
And how did Duane die? He was in a motorcycle accident. It's so hard to type about, even all these years later.
At the time, FM wasn't big - AM still ruled the airwaves. FM was more underground.
There was an underground DJ called Father Tree.
He was the way I found out about Skydog's accident.
Father Tree was on the air and broke into a song he was playing and said, "Duane Allman just died." And he walked out and never came back - at least not under the name "Father Tree."
This is the song that got Duane a record deal. Remember, Duane didn’t sing, he didn’t write songs, he didn’t have a band, he played guitar. They heard the solo at the end and signed him.
Duane could sing and he wrote that arrangement, undeniably he wrote the guitar part, I had a cassette of Duane and he sung "Dimples" and Greg did "Sweet Little Angel" .
@@tommyreid2317 yeah, everyone can sing, yet he didn’t sing, he didn’t write songs, and he didn’t have a band. My point is, he got a record deal on his ability to play guitar.
Y’all should watch the documentary Muscle Shoals!! That’s where so many folks did their best work! Including Aretha, Wilson n others.
One of the players in the house band, the Swampers, n later a producer said that ending guitar break was “the birth of Southern Rock”!!
Died in motorcycle accident. I think that picture is from where he died
Gregg Allman said "Duane only knew two speeds on his motorcycle-Wide open and parked" He died in a motorcycle accident ...
Gregg said Duane only ever knew 2 speeds, that's how he broke his arm causing him to learn slide guitar, he was going fast and fell off a horse
he went ahead on on his motorcycle with a peach truck. Hence the Allman Bros Eat a Peach album.
Duane Allman, recorded with a lot of different artist back in the day
Duane Allman with Aretha Franklin doing “The Weight” check it ✌️
Muscle Shoals, baby! The funkiest white boys on the planet, the Swampers, at the time! This is the greatest collaboration on a “cover” song, ever! Muscle Shoals was the epitome of inter-racial music making in the 60’s!
Peace
Paul McCartney wrote this song for Julian Lennon. John's child from first marriage. He got shuffled to tge side when John and Yoko had Sean.
Duane wasn’t “brought in” for this. At the time, he was the house guitar player for the studio, he just happened to be the guy on the clock for the session. The result of the session wasn’t just this amazing song, but also it lead to the formation of the Allman Brothers. Otis Redding had recently passed away and his manager, Phil Walden, was looking for his next act. After hearing this single, Walden sought Allman out and signed him to a contract and told him to put a band together. The band Duane put together was what became the Allman Brothers’ Band. The initial idea was that it was supposed to be a power trio in the vein of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but Duane kept adding people until they were at six instead of three.
And there was NO body there that didn't need to be there, what a lineup!
New to me! I appreciate thee
Duane Allman died in a Motorcycle accident at only 25 years of age. If he had been waring a helmet that night he may have still been with us today. Tragically however that was not the case.
Midnight Hour- Wilson Pickett
Muscle Shoals studio players mostly white guys.......they also backed up Aretha Franklin......Duane was a guitar player there before forming the Allman Brothers Band
Although he was more of a performer singer, it was probably Pickett who originally nudged me deeper into real soul vibration. Southern rock nudged me but from a slightly different angle. But nowhere better nudges sound so real! While this is nowhere near a famous as Pickett's hit, this reminded me that hits don't mean a thang without a bang and my friends, this one continuously bangs!
The Swampers!
