4.0 out of 5 stars ****1/2- a fine career overview with all the main highlights, 13 Oct 2004
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Wilson Pickett's gritty soul was tougher than that of most 60s contemporaries, and his singles especially were of consistently high quality.

Even casual soul fans ought to have a collection of Wilson Pickett's music...just check out the track list on this 1985 hits compilation: "In The Midnight Hour", "Mustang Sally", "Ninety Nine And A Half (Won't Do)", "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love", "634-5678"....

A few of the covers ("Sugar Sugar" in particular) are forgettable at best, but most of what's here is really good, and a lot of it is great. The liner notes are not, but that's 80s compilations for you, and this is still an excellent place to start - or for casual listeners to end up.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great sixties soul singers, 28 Feb 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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.
