It's definitely on any decent anthology of his (didn't Rhino do one?) along with "Sugar Sugar" and the "Mama Told Me..." cover Annalisa played.  All 3 were on a double-LP GH that Atlantic put out in the '70s which I have on vinyl.

I'm pretty sure it's on that R&B Beatle covers CD that's floating around.

I meant to mention the only time I saw Mr Pickett live. Early '80s at the Palladium in NYC (a Warfield-type theater, a bit bigger). He opened for James Brown, the only time I've ever seen JB as well. He was wearing the tightest pair of tan leather pants you ever did see. he turned around to shake his butt for the crowd and on his left cheek was embroidered a "W", on his right a "P".  Great stuff.

ooo! KC, "Give It Up" his sorta-comeback record from '83/'84. A huge #1 hit in the UK, it struggled into the top 20 over here.

I've got to check my soul compilations before I go shopping--it may be on either of the Rhino 60s or 70s boxes that I bring up periodically here. Or, was WP on Stax? I've got one of the Stax-Volt boxes too, so that's a possibilty too.

Greg played the original Narada, and told a story of how he assumed it was pronounced Na-RA-da, until the man himself corrected him, "I pronounce it NARR-da".  "Pardon me," thought Greg -- "if it's prounounced that way, whythehell don'cha spell it that way?" LOL!

checkin' out JJ on KPOO: new En Vogue -- doin' a remake of "Do it Any Way You Wanna".

Followed by Slave, "Watchin ' You". with the naked eye, baby, whoa!

and here's Mr Pickett -- "you're the Love of my Life" (?), a new one on me, later-period Pickett perhaps.  Which reminds me, Brad Kava in his tribute today in the Merc mentioned a comeback album he made in 1999 that Kava says was quite good -- that one totally missed my radar. Anybody?

ooo! here's "I'm in Love", also done by Ree-Ree.

Mostly because of distribution problems, the challenge facing any independent release.  Had he been on a major with attention, it'd've gone Top 5.

I'm listening to JJ on KPOO, he's sprinkling his show with Pickett stuff -- right now I'm hearing a swingin', full orchestra cover of "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You" by the Spinners (!). Have no idea where it's from, but I like it.

JJ must be reading my mind tonite:  Freda Payne, "Bring the Boys Home", which I'd've preferred to "Band of Gold" Friday, and the Chi-Lites "Power to the People", which kicks ass compared to "Have You Seen Her?"

And now, continuing the Pickett parade: Marvin & Diana's version of "Don't Knock My Love", which I haven't heard since '74. Good God A'mighty, lawd!
