Wicked Wilson Pickett, 1941-2006
Classic soul singer Wilson Pickett has passed away. He died Thursday of a heart attack at the age of 64.
While I was never one to go to a lot of live concerts of popular singers, I did see him perform once in the early 1970's at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater. Suffice it to say that those memories have lasted a lifetime, and Broadway will always be funky in large part because of him.
