NEW YORK - Wilson Pickett, the soul pioneer best known for the fiery hits “Mustang Sally” and “In The Midnight Hour,” died of a heart attack Thursday in a Reston, Va., hospital, according to his management company. He was 64.

HE will be missed

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

What a man he was! That's sad news for music - I loved his voice, and all the stuff he and Steve Cropper did together ...

Sad news indeed. The man had a great voice - probably he'll always be remembered for "Midnight Hour" and "Mustang Sally" but I also loved "6345789" and his version of "Hey Jude" - Duane Allman played lead on that one.

RIP Wilson Pickett.

he will be missed. He has inspired many...

I'll only be down there (in the basement practicing) for a couple of minutes or so...
