as far as covers go, i can think of : Ken Boothe's Mustang Sally and You Keep Me Hanging On Silvertones : in the midnight hour (heard other ones i can't point at, wasn't Cornell Campbell one of them  ) Austin faithful : 634-5789 i wonder if there wasn't a Keith Poppin tune Delroy Wilson covered Hey Jude, just like Wilson P and i can hear the nananana gimmick of Land of 1000 dances on Ini Kamoze 's Hot Stepper. that's what comes to my mind without further research. any more ideas thanks |

The Silvertones seemed to be very keen on Wilson Pickett's tunes. In The Midnight Hour, Tear Drops Will Fall & Take A Little Love. First three tracks on 1966 In The Midnight Hour album  |

Slivertones recut Midnight Hour in the 70s for Winston Riley. Respect Gordy ...didn't they also re-cut this for Duke Reid - the version on "Hottest Hits Volume 1" isn't the same recording... ...or please correct me...  ...and I prefer Wilson's "634-5789" to Otis's  |

since then i have found : Don't Fight It under the name of Feel Good by Ken Boothe.the Wailing Souls also have a tune by the same name : is it a coincidence?
and Delroy Wilson recorded a version of Hey Jude , just like WP.
I am In Love and Funky Broadway seem to have been covered too but can't remebember by whom.thanks

lankou2 - Cornel Campbell did "I'm In Love" though I don't know if it's the same as Pickett's - I have both, but only Wilson's to hand, so can't compare... Delroy Wilson covered "Funky Broadway" |

thanks Zap, i have Delroy 's cover somewhere but couldn't remember it (though he is one of my fave singers, shame on me!!!!).
i have the same problems with comparing tunes as i don't know where i put my WP records (not that i have too many, but the classic hits!)

Hmmm! The Cornel Campbell "I'm In Love" doesn't sound like the same song as WP's...  Delroy's "Funky Broadway" (on Soul Jazz Studio One Funk) owes itself more to Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" than WP's "Funky Broadway" ...and includes references to "Mustang Sally" |

I always thought Dave Barker was the Wilson Pickett of reggae.
