RIP and thank you.

I'm guessing Ronnie probably knew him personally as Womack used play guitar for Wilson and we know RW was tight with him...

Might be a good occasion then to bring womack out for a tribute tune. He's someone who could actually use the recognition, unlike bob marley or otis redding.

RIP Wilson "Wicked" Pickett.

According to one of the reviews, they played part of Mustang Sally during Satisfaction. Nice gesture.

When Wilson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Bobby Brown made the induction speech. I think the idea is to have someone make the induction speech who is a big fan of, and has been heavily influenced by, the artist being inducted. When questioned afterwards, Bobby Brown admitted that, while he had heard of Wilson Pickett, and knew that he was called The Wickett Pickett, he was not really familiar with ANY of Wilson Pickett's music.
