yep. this was a '65 single from Stax. also, Mr. Pickett cowrote it with Steve Cropper, who was the lead guitar in Booker T and the MGs, and cowrote and played session music on MANY Stax songs and albums. Wilson Pickett did eventually do some work with motown, but i don't believe it was until much later. Motown's great and i'm not knocking it but Stax and Memphis don't get all due credit often enough.

What can you say? This is just the very best. Its been around for fifty years, and will still be played in another fifty.

I love that motown sound. Too bad black music wasn't still good like that, instead of rap & hip-hop.
