I'm In Love has the distinct honor of being the only album of Wilson Pickett's Atlantic Records discography that I didn't own either on vinyl or CD form at time of initially writing this.
I had at least heard the album. the songs and the 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 compositions.
There are some top 10 charters on the album but unlike the few prior ones on Atlantic Records, Wilson Pickett did not have a #1 hit single with the I'm In Love album.
It appears that Pickett was guilty by association with Womack.
