I have a greaqt memory of stumbling into one of his concerts at a local night club in the late 80s / early 90s. I didn't expect a legend to be there,and didn't know him by name (but was familiar with his hits) but listening to him perform, I could just tell he was the real thing, the original, not just some talented local guy performing a bunch of popular soul tunes.
A terrible loss! Soul brother No.# 2 as he was often refered to. No one could do Mustang Sally like Wilson Pickett, not even the Young Rascals!
