JGLB will always love: The Wicked Pickett

buy JGLB CDs / JGLB schedule

In the Midnight Hour, I'd call 634-5789. That's Mustang Sally's number. We'd go down to Funky Funky Broadway.

Now, he's gone on to the Land of 1000 Dances.

I really loved him. Now he's gone. We will pay tribute to him this weekend.

Please join us.

RIP WILSON PICKETT
