every time we played that “land of 1000” we got the same atmosphere in the audience,as show above. True.
Na nana na… :laughing:

Pickett was one of the best

When I think about this time about 1965/67 there are many songs I remember.

One more Pickett

For me he is one of the greatest “soul men” ever.

His songs were published by ATLANTIC records.

I am thinking about what songs I could present.
We were playing a lot of “soul” stuff in the 1965/70.
This one I remember :

The rythmi is still great still more than 50 years!
