edward jacobs what always tripped me out was guys like you and countless others and mainly James Brown's bass players could play the same song for 2000000000000000000000000000000000 hours and not get tired ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! much luv Mr Jacobs !!!!!
'Wicked' Wilson Pickett, sung and danced with all his heart! The charged energy in his vibes, his scream loud, conspicuous and unmistakeable, left no doubt in the minds of his followers that he was the greatest soul singer of all time!
@@btexpress944The Black Keys have literally just dropped a cover of William Bell’s I Forgot To Be Your Lover which I initially mistook for a Wilson Pickett song so there’s somebody keeping that fire burning! 😁
I’m a fucking white 26 year old from Connecticut. I have zero reason to connect to this music. But for the love of Christ i cry like a fucking baby watching this. It heals me, it helps me. It’s magic. It’s perfect. I love you whoever’s reading this and do me a favor and get fucking jiggy to this joint. Like you never felt soul run thru ya hands before.
Talent has no race, color or nationality. I am a Chilean that gringos would call "Latino" and I still vibrate with this type of music (translated by Google). Note: "Latino" is not a race, it is just a language relationship.
What an incredible performance. The energy shared between the band and the audience is pure magic. Btw Footage is from an independence day concert on March 6th, in Accra, Ghana 1971, from the documentary Soul to Soul.
In the audience at the start of the song, looks like Black Panthers up front as security…also a shot of uniformed officers (smiling). Did the Panthers travel with the touring bands?
That's it! Real music! Real emotion! Pickett left too soon, a gifted voice. Just gives me chills down my spine watching him perform. And the audience was great! Pickett might have left us way too soon but real Soul Music never dies. You can't explain Soul Music, you just can feel and celebrate it. I miss those musicians these days very much.
@@adriennerobinson1180 Real music won't ever fade. We must face hard times now all over this world but music is still here. And I believe that music can heal. We should not go to war. We could party instead. And Pickett could one of the answers.Why can't we be as one?
You have to hear the 2 songs he did with James Brown - though James could scream, Wilson was always the better singer! th-cam.com/video/24KKwn0iVhU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks kid, yes,, mo town,, record companies started selling rap,, same time people started shooting each other,,, hello,, my thought yes,, Africans wrote and played really good fun music,, "we" played this song in seven grade,,, "Mustang Sally" "99 and a half"mid nite hour" we loved Wilson Pickett and James Brown
He had some type of positive feel-good magic. He wasn't just putting on a show he was feeling it down to his soul and sharing it with anyone and everyone, arms wide open with a great big smile. I don't know a great deal of history concerning his life, but I know he's always talked about with high regard and that his music was special. I know it's rock and roll/soul, but I'm pretty sure the prince of darkness wasn't doing this one because It's like he has angel's all around him all the time. The man was a blessing. R.I.P Mr. Pickett at least for a while. We shall see you again.
Same here! Doing it right now while I am listening to him. Fascinating the looks in the faces of the audience members here. Seems most of them are young males. In Europe and North America it would be more females than males I think.
@Sactical Bag ummm...I've got to disagree or let's say have some facts: back then off the top of my head: Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson add Pickett, whew! guess it's all what you like to look at, though heck, with these 3, it's a candy store. 🍭🍬🍫🍫🍫 Store owner: so this one, this one, or this one? ME; Yup! 🙋🏾♀️ lol 👍🏾
So Much Talent in times of hardship... Today a 25 year old Black don't even know who Wilson Picket is, listening to rap. We Owe Thanks To Are Ancestors Before Us...
Ok. I'm a 70-year-old white guy who grew up in the 60's, in white suburbia no less, and just not getting R and B. I preferred psychedelia and blowing my mind. Eventually my love of strange and textured sounds led to a love of classical music. Today I stumbled upon Mr Pickett again. I have a confession to make. WTF was I thinking those 50 years ago? Vanilla Fudge and Electric Prunes, their self-indulgent musical excess, have melted into a soup bowl sitting under similar unwashed dishes in my kitchen sink. Wilson Pickett's excess is of a different variety. From the soul and just a f ing gift to everyone. My belated thanks to you, sir.
Lol, look up Muscle Shoals and the "Swampers". There is a documentary. Most of all the most memorable music of your era came from a small Alabama town to include this song.
@@dougshaffer5524The people who played the instruments on one or more than one albumns for Aretha F. we're in Muscles Scholes. They white guys and were fantastic in my opinion.

WoW I was just sitting back here saying to myself he's the Godfather of soul in my opinion then talked myself out of it and gave it to Brown and decided If Brown is the Godfather of soul then Mr. Pickett is most definitely the King of it.
Yes...yes... yes! Like the Saturn 5 booster rocket, that scream, back then, as I sat in that '70s movie theater, propelled me to today: 12.21.19! Thanks, Pickett! Thanks, Ghana! Thanks, Flora!
Charlotte NC 1967. Wilson and Sam and Dave…After the concert we followed the bus to his hotel and ask a guy what room…we went up knock on the door, my roommate was into record labels..he and Wilson sat on the bed for an hour and talked…they went out and got a record player to play S n D’s new album…..it was a night to remember!
@@ganymeade5151 that was about 1967 for me a year after his greatest hits was released. I was around 3 at the time. I later saw him in concert at the legendary Front Row near Akron, Ohio in 1982, opening up for The Godfather of Soul James Brown. What a great night of good good music that was watching two of my childhood Soul Music heroes!
2 minutes into the video and Pickett's already done things none of those guys ever could. Charisma, vocal talent... Just on a whole 'nother level as a vocalist from any of the Beatles. Beatles did a lot of stuff most folks can sing along to. Pickett does things that people just need to shut up, listen, and appreciate. Beatles were one in a million in their way, but Pickett's just straight-up world class performer. People used to tell me I should cover some of his stuff, because I sang with conviction and power, but I just never felt I could do it justice.
Even though it seemed that most Americans accepted The Beatles as rock and roll musicians, it’s nice to know that they knew they needed help from real rock and roll to continue their pathetic imitation of rock a billy junk.Americans(White Americans) are sometimes so gullible for hype! The Beatles-DonaldTrump.
accidently bought a wilson picket cassette thinking it was gary Pucket and the union gap,happy mistake,also bought a Rhino album thinking it was Ringo,I really need to read these more closely
What a great perfomance and it was recorded live! There are no flaws and the audience is connected to Wilson Pickett, a great frontman. Thanks God it was filmed and we can watch it today.
Unless I'm missing my guess, this might have been the birth of the mosh pit. To say the crowd went crazy is an understatement. You gotta love the guy dancing on stage who felt compelled to take his shoes off to really get his groove on. The whole thing, Wilson, the band, the crowd, on FIRE! I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Pickett back in the mid 80's, and it's still one of the most memorable experiences of my entire life!
Wilson is very remarkable and all his songs are so lovely 💕 my mom and dad used to play his songs every day before there both pay a visit to heaven. Wilson is the greatest of all time I will always play his songs. Have been listening to Wilson's songs since I was born, what about you since when have you been listening to Wilson’s songs?
I grew up on the 'Wicked Pickett's' music in the 60's - I danced alot to his music but was never lucky enough to see him - bless 'The Commitments' for honoring the spirit in his music. What an unbelievably electric performance captured here. - thank God we have it.
Me too, George, I ran away from my boarding house with a group of my classmates and made our way to the Black Star to experience this once in a lifetime thing!
I saw this awesome soul man at three concerts and was always blown away by his music...One time he was starring with Jr Walker and the Allstars when we heard they would not make it to the concert.. The Awesome Mr Pickett played TWO sets and brought the house down.. His sound is in my soul now, and I will never forget him..
1966 that song burned thru the music industry. It brings me joy to see the audience smiling;dancing,endless energy. I am so, so proud to live this generation. Dave
Listening to and watching Wilson perform just makes me feel so good. As the great Sam Cooke would have said, it "sends me ".Dear God this is soul. Whether we are black, white, brown, yellow or fucking green why can't we harness this feeling and LOVE, instead of hate each other. Peace & love to all ❤.
My Friend Doug loved Wilson so much he just bust into Wilson's intro: this is Wilson Pickett, welcoming all you hippies, yippies and rounders and bounders to San Francisco. " Wilson always been one of my favorite artists. Doug killed himself in the '80s and whenever I hear Wilson, I remember my Friend I have no more. I'm thankful for Wilson's songs bringing back memories.
I was born in December 1959. I got to hear all of the great soul music from the 50's to the 70's. Soul music is part of my earliest memories and struck a chord in me from as young as I can remember. What a great musical era to be alive!
1961 here my friend and I'm with you, remember my older brother and sisters playing the 45 records back then and dancing in the kitchen to these legends, Pickett, Brown, sledge, Conley, Otis Redding, times were good then I remember and I'd like to go back again for a little bit but I'd have to say goodbye all over again to Mom, Dad, my brother and 3 sisters again. Best wishes to you!
I like the way 1960s Soul Music took the call-and-response ( preacher/choir) theme from gospel and turned it into the lead singer and brass section version of that.
When Wilson Pickett would say Lord Have Mercy somethinggood was getting ready to happy 😊 he was getting ready to tear the junt down it was hitting the floor time. The brother was bad. DPitts😎😎😎😍😍
As a white guy growing up in the 60s in New York I knew this was music that I loved. Songs that you could actually dance to. None of this shit music that they put out today. Wilson Pickett was an entertainer and had SOUL....Thanks for the memories.
Thank you so much for posting this ... great music and the most amazing performers-audience interaction ... makes me want to go to a concert in Africa 🌍
I was there (Black Star Square) for the 12hrs concert. The crowd was waiting for Wilson Pickett to hit stage; it was total madness when he stepped out in the Black spotted jump suit. Crowd waited too long after Ike-Tina Turner, Santana, Voices of East Harlem etc. There was a THUNDEROUS CHEER to hail the Exciting Pickett that was heard 15miles away early hours of the morning. Picket came in at the Midnight Hour and opened set with same song. I appeared in the SOUL TO SOUL movie welcoming all the artistes at the Accra International Airport. I was with traditional drummers at the opening movie and still have a DVD copy in my collections. Seeing the act on YoutTube now brings back old memories. I later saw Roberta Flack and Picket at concerts in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1985.
The term soul comes directly out of the black church. If you want to know what soul is, go to a black church. What you see here is nothing more than an extension get down song sung in a black church. Don't believe me, Check out Aretha singing gospel.
I'm Mexican American and I love WilsonPickett he sang for al of us getting down to the heart of the soul.siempre lleno de canción y música del mero corazon.love you always my man!
Did I just witness one of the greatest live performances ever? that took awesome to levels unbeknownst to man!! And they say elvis is the king...LOL Wilson Picket the King of Rock and Soul!!!
when an entertainer is "in the zone" and the crowd loves him/her they could sling pudding and talk mush and it would be great.. but it takes greatness to make that happen.. and here we are seeing some, from a guy who was one of the monsters of greatness.
I was wilson pickett's bass player and band leader from 1964 to1970 and thats the gods honest truth eddy jacobs yeee!!!
Then you, my friend, are bad ass! God Bless you for making this sweet soul music!!! It makes life worth living!
Legendary!

Wilson took his live performances to another level, better yet to a different stratosphere and did it with ease. He was simply ELECTRIFYING!!!💯🎤💯
they called him mr personality for a reason :)
Such a frenzy is only witnessed at a cult.
What an ecstatic performance.
The era when being a celebrity was earned ,now it's awarded or demanded.
AMEN My BROTHER😎
👏🏻👏🏻Amen, amen 👏🏻👏🏻
I saw him live in 1995 and he was still as good. I remember almost passing out just because it was so awesome and I almost forgot to breath
Truth
danced this pace all night. Thought those times would never end. Still dancing to him in my kitchen in the a.m.
just go on...forever! We can't do any better for body and soul...
you'll never lose the groove
Amen

There are definitely some similarities, but I don't think I would have any problem distinguishing between the two face to face.
Really look like!
Yes indeed .
Yeah,yeah,123
It's the mustache. Lookalike? Hardly! Nope. Even if there would have been a movie on him, Eddie would have to have done that 35-40 years ago. Not now.

I was a vendor at many concerts of today where all the performers do is push buttons, front gangster and try to look hard. None perform like this.
He's the "Wicked Pickett"!!! Lord have Mercy!!!! Love it!!! That was music 🎶!!!!SOUL LIVES ON!!!
I grew up on the 'Wicked Pickett's' music in the 60's - I danced alot to his music but was never lucky enough to see him - bless 'The Commitments' for honoring the spirit in his music. What an unbelievably electric performance captured here. - thank God we have it.
This is just incredible. 200% energy.
And Justin Bieber is up for a Grammy? What the hell happened?
The kids don'-t know what they're missing.
His grammy is more of an award for marketing.
B Buccaneer Damn shame
Wilson died
Aliens I think?
Rock music is BLACK MUSIC.
BLACK MUSIC IS AMERICAN CULTURE.
in Accra, Ghana - Soul to Soul concert,1971
Morton Marks I
I was there,run away from shool that day to be at the BLACK STAR SQUARE
Me too, George, I ran away from my boarding house with a group of my classmates and made our way to the Black Star to experience this once in a lifetime thing!
@@george46995 What happen later?? Got an ass whipping?!
George Lutterodt, you were at the concert! Or the movie theater...
it's impossible not to feel the joy and exuberance 50 years later.
I love it!!! The Soulful Wicked Wilson Pickett!!! Got me dancing on the couch at 2:00 in the morning! Wicked Wicked Wicked Get It Y’all!!!
I'm a music teacher, I just had one of my 8th graders sing and play Mustang Sally for their awards ceremony. It was so much fun!!!!
Well done. XXXXXX
Very cool teacher u must b for sure❤
Whooo...The Rev. Pickett just took us all to church... say AMEN! ;)
Amen
AMEN
Amen!
Amen, listening to “The Wicked Pickett” made you wonder if it was James Brown in a new life.
No matter how many times i watch this my hair stands on end 😁
He's drop dead gorgeous with a voice like no other❤
I saw this awesome soul man at three concerts and was always blown away by his music...One time he was starring with Jr Walker and the Allstars when we heard they would not make it to the concert.. The Awesome Mr Pickett played TWO sets and brought the house down.. His sound is in my soul now, and I will never forget him..
How can anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me
Pure soul...nice tunes
Some suckers
Ain't got no soul
No soul
There are a holes everywhere. Good music will never die.
567 ppl need a soul transplant
1966 that song burned thru the music industry.
It brings me joy to see the audience smiling;dancing,endless energy.
I am so, so proud to live this generation.
Dave
So am I...our generation had some fantastic music. I grew up in the 60's 70's...I am 71. Love it!!!!
Looks like Ringo Starr got his answer... Rest on Mr. Pickett!!!
Listening to and watching Wilson perform just makes me feel so good. As the great Sam Cooke would have said, it "sends me ".Dear God this is soul. Whether we are black, white, brown, yellow or fucking green why can't we harness this feeling and LOVE, instead of hate each other. Peace & love to all ❤.
Google advice, my friend.
Just thinking of Prince Harry and Meghan ,and their Fab dancing at their wedding reception, must have been a great fun wedding ❤🎉😅
THIS is black music, not modern hip hop, rap, and trap. This is from the soul!! Talent
I always thought Eddie Murphy could have played Wilson in a movie, this era needs to be honored.
But rap is all so from the sole just times have changed
To me this is art at it's best
I such a joy to see those happy black faces full of love for Mr.Pickett or any other soul singer bringing it strong.
Spelling and grammar give me trouble
Thanks
The Wicked Pickett !! The Master Soul Vocalist !!
Now This Is A Man That Loves Performing!! He Looks So Happy!!!
My Friend Doug loved Wilson so much he just bust into Wilson's intro: this is Wilson Pickett, welcoming all you hippies, yippies and rounders and bounders to San Francisco. " Wilson always been one of my favorite artists. Doug killed himself in the '80s and whenever I hear Wilson, I remember my Friend I have no more. I'm thankful for Wilson's songs bringing back memories.
I was born in December 1959. I got to hear all of the great soul music from the 50's to the 70's. Soul music is part of my earliest memories and struck a chord in me from as young as I can remember. What a great musical era to be alive!
1961 here my friend and I'm with you, remember my older brother and sisters playing the 45 records back then and dancing in the kitchen to these legends, Pickett, Brown, sledge, Conley, Otis Redding, times were good then I remember and I'd like to go back again for a little bit but I'd have to say goodbye all over again to Mom, Dad, my brother and 3 sisters again.
Best wishes to you!
Truth Indeed
I'm whiter than Wonder Bread and their ain't wonder why
Wilson Pickett is my all time favorite soul singer!!!!
those times were joy music and soul , today with the "rap" thing is only ,murder ,hate ,gangs,and selling drugs,
The looks on the faces in the crowd when he said the first "1.2.3!" *Stunned and mesmerized*
Might be because they were all so drugged up
@@joshkouri6864 Nah. Stay mad though.
What did Aretha say.. "Don't be so wicked, Pickett." Of course she meant it in a loving way.
"I'm feeling pretty good right now"
Yes, I totally hear you. Big respect.
Watching those guys dancing at the end, just makes my heart want to burst with joy! I wonder where they all are, now? ❤
Love how some random kid can jump on stage and dance right alongside Pickett!!!
yeah the kid was great, wonder how he learned to dance like that, wonder what he's doing now?
Some dumbass always wants to be the center of attention
@@DrVonNostrand Seriously? They were having fun! Everyone!
Those were the days, B4 9-11 and all the security measures we have now. I miss those days.
Yep back in the day it was like that unlike all these nowadays prima Donas with security bigger than potus.
I like the way 1960s Soul Music took the call-and-response ( preacher/choir) theme from gospel and turned it into the lead singer and brass section version of that.
Great footage of the late great Wilson Wicked Pickett!!! Honorable mention for the kick azz band !!!!! Fantastic!!!
Official instructions; at my funeral, play Amazing Grace; then this. It's all thanksgiving to the great and wild creator!
In those days Otis and Pickett were the top, still are!
Yea Otis, Wilson, Sam and Dave
@@charlesrichardson2655 And Aretha
Sounds like a black baptist preacher in his intro!
Hahahaha. You got that right! 😀
Dont know about your preacher, but we danced to his, Arethas, Temps. Beatles, Rollingstones music around the pool &we loved it.
well, where do you think most of the top artists of that era got their influence?
YOU SAID IT! HE'S STRAIGHT FROM THE CHURCH. BLACK PENTACOSTAL STYLE TO BE EXACT
You ain't never lied!!!
I'm a proud native of Prattville, Alabama.
I love WILSON.
I love every Pickett I know.
Nobody like the Wicked Pickett. Always loved his music & unbelievable energy.
When Wilson Pickett would say Lord Have Mercy somethinggood was getting ready to happy 😊 he was getting ready to tear the junt down it was hitting the floor time. The brother was bad. DPitts😎😎😎😍😍
what an amazing showman he has been. cant get enough out of this man. RIP King!!!!
We were so damn lucky to grow up in this era.
We lived in Cleveland and were able to get the Motown motor city music! CKLW. Windsor!
I say we were lucky to grow up then, everyday.
As a white guy growing up in the 60s in New York I knew this was music that I loved. Songs that you could actually dance to. None of this shit music that they put out today. Wilson Pickett was an entertainer and had SOUL....Thanks for the memories.
I totally agree and you can still listen and dance to this music from earlier times and enjoy it
now as in the past.
Once in England in Tom Jones home, a fellow named Ringo asked me what's Soul...That's it!
Who comes close to this in 2022?
I was the only white guy on Wilson's 1971 tour thru Dixie. I was his babe contracter. Some people are born with soul in their voice.
Hey, your a part of a legend in our hearts!
Those were the days. I know what you mean.
The wicked pickett,
Just loved his connection with the audience, and how happy he looks, what a voice, what a man.
Rip Soul brother
Absolutely brilliant! Brings tears to my eyes!
Watching this is almost a religious experience. God bless you Wilson Pickett ❤️
This looks like it was from Wilson Pickett's 1971 concert in Ghana, taken from the documentary "Soul to Soul."
Yep and not one woman in the audience.
@@gypsyskyy9451 nonsense. There are quite a few, just not in the mosh pit.
Thank you so much for posting this ... great music and the most amazing performers-audience interaction ... makes me want to go to a concert in Africa 🌍
I was there (Black Star Square) for the 12hrs concert. The crowd was waiting for Wilson Pickett to hit stage; it was total madness when he stepped out in the Black spotted jump suit. Crowd waited too long after Ike-Tina Turner, Santana, Voices of East Harlem etc. There was a THUNDEROUS CHEER to hail the Exciting Pickett that was heard 15miles away early hours of the morning. Picket came in at the Midnight Hour and opened set with same song. I appeared in the SOUL TO SOUL movie welcoming all the artistes at the Accra International Airport. I was with traditional drummers at the opening movie and still have a DVD copy in my collections. Seeing the act on YoutTube now brings back old memories. I later saw Roberta Flack and Picket at concerts in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1985.
Great memories for you 😊😊😊
That's so cool and looks like it was a great time!!! What an awesome memory ❤
The term soul comes directly out of the black church. If you want to know what soul is, go to a black church. What you see here is nothing more than an extension get down song sung in a black church. Don't believe me, Check out Aretha singing gospel.
he sings a story better than most can sing ... genius
I'm Mexican American and I love WilsonPickett he sang for al of us getting down to the heart of the soul.siempre lleno de canción y música del mero corazon.love you always my man!
Did I just witness one of the greatest live performances
ever?
that took awesome to levels unbeknownst to man!!
And they say elvis is the king...LOL
Wilson Picket the King of Rock and Soul!!!
Koolazz Fred
Yes you did.
yes
when an entertainer is "in the zone" and the crowd loves him/her they could sling pudding and talk mush and it would be great.. but it takes greatness to make that happen.. and here we are seeing some, from a guy who was one of the monsters of greatness.
You did Fred :-)
Yes.
