Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits is the best one-stop shop for his Atlantic Records hits.
Not only does it provide Pickett's best work, the listener is also given some songs prior to In The Midnight Hour that proves he was destined to be a soul music legend.
I held the double-vinyl copy of Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits in my hands sometime years ago.
The price was very reasonable for some that had no Wilson Pickett music in their collection to speak of or even play. I otherwise would have bought it but reason stepped in before I stepped to the cash register.
My reasoning was that I owned the CD copy of the album as well as practically every album from which the songs originally appear.
The Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits CD that made me the fan that I am only chose to feature 2 songs from Right On.
Ironically or coincidentally, You Keep Me Hangin' On & Sugar Sugar, are covers and the Sugar Sugar still managed to be an underwhelming Top 5 hit.
Fast forward to a summer a few years ago. I popped in the CD while doing chores in my apartment. The hits literally came fast and furious and one realizes Wilson Pickett was one of the soul greats.
Before the first quarter of the compilation is done. I wish I could have been able to see him perform live during his 1960s prime. The footage available to us makes us know what we missed.
