I know we've all had to play "Mustang Sally" WAAAY too many
times, but man, I loved this guy's voice. He just had "it".

I don't know where he's been since 1970, but just thought I would
acknowledge his passing today...

Oh man that sucks!

Mustang Sally will always get the dance floor full at any of the gigs I play
with Probable Cause.

He will be missed!

Amen..

Personally, the talent that's being pushed today is a sad staement for the
music business at large. Yes,there are few good exceptions, but for the most
part, todays talents are less than..LAD

Indeed. Well, and simply, said.

One of my heroes. A great, great voice, one of the guiding lights of
20th-centruy music. The fact that he worked with the greatest studio band of
the rock era didn't hurt....

I was at Buddy Guy's Legends last night (Thursday) to see Buddy play.
He acknowledged Pickett's passing, and later on in the set, he invited
Jim Peterik (who's a good friend of his) to come up and jam with him
and the band on "Mustang Sally". It was Jim's idea, but oddly enough
Jim had come up with it a couple of days earlier, before Pickett died.

The whole house was rockin' to that one.

Ya know, for a 69-year-old dude, Guy still smokes. And I mean that in
a musical sense.

Buddy is terrific. I met him at the club years ago. Nice guy,
no attitude.

Wilson had tunes with much more grit than Sally. I like "99 1/2"
myself. What a voice...

great talent.
