This is due to the above.

Awhile back I discovered, somewhat by accident, that some of Wilson Pickett's famous songs were actually covers. Not to discredit the man as in many cases his rendition boosted a song to much greater popularity/height than it had before. (Singing covers was once quite respectable, much of both Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday's work is covers)


YouTube - ‪mustang sally - wilson pickett‬‏ - It was originally recorded by a Mack Rice. (Rice's original is good too)


YouTube - ‪Wilson Pickett - Land Of 1000 Dances‬‏ - Originally Chris Kenner, first charted with the Mexican-American group "Cannibal & the Headhunters."


YouTube - ‪wilson pickett - funky broadway‬‏ - Originally Dyke & the Blazers.

Surprised I didn't do the following three as they really are some of my favorites. (At times above I was just going with "interesting covers I like." Still there's a bit of a theme here too)
