Soul singer 'Wicked' Wilson Pickett dead at 64 of a heart attack. Made famous for songs such as "Mustang Sally" "In the Midnight Hour", and "Land of 1,000 Dances".

I hope that he RIP.


I remember him from when i played tuba in band and we played "Land of 1,000 Dances" a lot for football games....Naaah nah nah naah naaah, nah nah na na na na na na na naaahhh.............................well you get my point!

Anyone needs me, I'll be taking one last ride down Funky Broadway with Mustang Sally...of course I'm gonna wait till the Midnight Hour (that's when my love comes tumblin' down)...

RIP, there'll never be another quite like The Wicked...I suspect Otis Redding will be waiting for him for that duet they never got around to...

Great music. He definitely left his mark.
