More Pickett picks:  Wilson returning the favor to the Rascals (who covered "Midnite Hour") by doing his version of "Groovin"! And here's "Fire & Water", his last Pop Top 40 hit.

BTW, I was right, his "Hey Jude" is on Rubber Souled, a collection of R&B Beatle covers, along with such delights as Otis doing "Day Tripper", Al Green on "I want To Hold Your hand", and Ike & Tina's "Come Together" (which they were probably no longer doing by the time they got around to that one).
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

First dud of the night: "Mr Magic Man", Mr Pickett's debut single forRCA in 1974. No surprise that it flopped on the pop chart -- not even he could get away with lyrics like "ala-kazip-kazam". Yeesh.

Ah, but here's what I've been waiting for: "Sugar Sugar". Sublime.

OMG! Candi Staten Island, "Victim".
