This is one of the funkiest tracks ever laid down by anyone, anywhere. Pickett, one of the greatest hard soul singers ever, deserves all the credit we can give him - but so do the guys in the studio, the arrangers and the band. The bass track alone is like a composition all its own, and the menacing lead guitar with wah and fuzz is unbelievable. Like Wilson says, "I'm gonna let the boys cook this a little bit..." can't blame him - this is about as hot as it gets.
@ltinsley2: Yeah, those guys were the real deal, all right. At the very end of the song as it fades, Pickett screams one final note, and you can hear the guys in the band celebrating... they knew they had laid down a monster of a track!
Pickett died from a heart attack on January 19, 2006 in Reston, Virginia. He was aged 64.[10] He was buried in Louisville, Kentucky. The eulogy was delivered by Pastor Steve Owens of Decatur, Georgia. Little Richard, a long-time friend of Pickett's, spoke about him and preached briefly at the funeral.

@franz909: With all due respect to those guys, they don't even deserve to mentioned in the same sentence as the "Wicked One" and his bandmates.

If you like funky, y'all should check out his version of "Funk Factory" - shoulda been a big crossover hit, but only did so so on the charts.
