IIL has the distinct honor of being the only album of Wilson Pickett's Atlantic Records discography that I don't own either in vinyl or CD form at this time.
I at least heard the album. the songs, title track.
From what I've learned, Bobby Womack's career was in jeopardy because he married Sam Cooke's widow.
It caused such an uproar that Womack had his songs sung by Wilson Pickett who was riding high with a string of hit singles at the time.
Bobby Womack’s songs appear on earlier Wilson Pickett albums but especially I`m IN Love and The Midnight Mover feature the most Womack compoisitnoins.
Unlike the few prior albums on Atlantic Records, Wilson Pickett did not have a 1 hit single with the IIL or TMM albums.
It appears that Pickett was guilty by association with Womack. There are top 10 charters on IIL
