5.0 out of 5 stars No one sings it Better than Pickett...., Nov 6 2002

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I grew up hearing some of his songs being covered first by the Blues Brothers and then in the movie The Commitments and always loved the songs. Recently I've been adding to my cd collection, so I had to get this cd. Wilson Pickett put his heart and soul into every song he sang, which makes it all the more compelling to listen to. If I had heard Pickett's version first, I would realize that the rest were very poor imitations indeed. There's nothing like the original they say and in this case that would definitely be correct.

5.0 out of 5 stars All The Hits and Then Some, April 18 2004

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

If you buy this album for the well known classics-"Mustang Sally", "In The Midnight Hour", "634-5789", "Land Of A 1,000 Dances" and "Funky Broadway", you will not be disappointed as they are all here. But after you've heard them all a couple of dozen times, you will find yourself going crazy over his versions of late sixties hits like "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "You Keep Me Hangin'On" and even "Sugar, Sugar", the song made popular by the cartoon group The Archies. Damn if Wilson doesn't make this as soulful and alive as "A Man and A Half" or any of his other classic soul hits. That would be more than enough for most greatest hits albums, but this one doesn't stop there. It goes back to his early success with his vocal group The Falcons for "I Found A Love" and early solo songs like "It's Too Late" and "If You Need Me". There are 24 songs on this album, and it's a single disc!! If you want liner notes and pictures, get the Rhino compilation, but if you want the strongest single disc career retrospective available, then buy this one. You'll be glad you did!

This has some of Pickett's best songs. It's digitally re-mastered, so the music sounds clean and crisp. Great album.
