My grandfather, and Wilson Pickett are from the same area. Wilson Pickett was something else. He was very talented, but needed the Lord. God bless everyone!🙏💜

Saw Wilson Pickett at the Regal Theater in a 2:00 matinee show back in the day-also on the show was; The Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Contours w/Dennis Edwards, Kim Weston, The Volinaires, and Jerry Butler. 18:12

You became my favorite story teller bro

Loved your profile on Wilson Pickett! I hope that someone will do a movie or TV miniseries about him. He might be too old to play him, but ever since I saw the character that Eddie Murphy played in "Dreamgirls," he made me think of him playing Wilson Pickett.

Always grateful for the stories you share. This is such a cautionary tale. So often fame exacerbates deep seated issues not dealt with. Wilson was a great singer, and I love his Midnight Hour song. But he was also a horrible person who seemed to enjoy his high conflict personality. I wish he didn't hurt so many people, including himself.

Ayyyyyyyyyye Yoooo. AIGHT!!!!!!!💯💯💯!!! Been waiting for this one for a very long time!!!!! Wilson Pickett's story is a wild one!!!! He truly was in a league of his own!!! He did not trust banks at all😂😂😂😂. I ain't mad at em though!!! My evening just got much better. Thank you Mr CU!!!

Great story on Wilson Pickett

I remember when you talked about Wilson during the Bobby Womack video about him keeping his cash in the closet because he didn't believe in banks 🤣

I have been feeling like there does need to be a movie about this Man. He had some great hits. The ones you named, 6345789, In the Midnight Hour, Mustang Sally, and Engine #9. I would participate as an Actor if there is ever a Wilson Pickett biopic.

Funny his issues about Elvis but the Sweet Inspirations , who backed both Pickett and Aretha , left them to back up Elvis , whom they said paid generously, so much so that they made more backing Elvis than from royalties from their own recordings and all the other artists they backed treated them like employees whereas Elvis treated them like family . Btw James Brown was never jealous of Wilson cause he said Pickett couldn’t dance a lick and wasn’t the showman he was . Myrna Smith of the sweet inspirations said when she got married, she couldn’t except a Diamond ring as a gift that he gave all the Sweets because she was getting married, so Elvis sent her a powder blue Eldorado instead and gave her and fiancé the keys to his home in Beverly Hills that he wasn’t using for their honeymoon and made the cars in garage available to them.

Exactly Pickett was jealous of James Brown like many others of that era. Brown admitted the only singer that he was jealous of was Sam Cooke.

Thanks for sharing this, I really enjoyed it. I saw Wilson Pickett , at the Howard Theatre, in Washington, DC., back in the early sixty. I were 14 N my first time visiting the Big City ,from the low part of South Carolina. I fell in love with mr. Pickett then. Also, at that same time Wilson Pickett and some more singing artist were at the ,Howard Theater in DC., 😢Mr. Otis Redding and his groups, stop by (on their way somewhere) on Mr. Redding Bus, that had , " My Lovers Prayer ") written on it. Since then, Mr. Wilson Pickett and Mr. Otis. Redding , became my two favorite singers. I still have n play theirs songs today.

Great content as always and especially this one. Wilson Pickett is one of my favorite soul artists

Thank you for sharing ❤

Wicked Pickett another 💎 ❤❤

3:08: Grandfather beats Wilson Pickett over the head with a bible because he was caught singing secular music. 3:18: Wilson Pickett's mother hits him with a wooden stick and breaks his arm. This type of child abuse produces an adult who exhibits serious anger management and alcohol/drug abuse issues. I liked many Wilson Pickett songs. Though his life story is heartbreaking, thank you for sharing the man behind the music.
