Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman just proved that blacks and whites can make beautiful music together. They've also proven that we can work together for a better world. Just look at what you're typing on, a white empty background that says absolutely nothing without the black letters that make up the words. Now you have something. These 2 men are truly gifted and I thank them for this beautiful music that I can enjoy for as long as I live.

This song is the reason Eric Clapton had Duane play on Layla. The ending riff blew him away. Wilson said to Duane “we can’t cover this song. It’s number #1”. Duane said, “That’s why we can”.❤

This song, just like many other Beatles covers that have been made, is only further proofs to how the Fab Four were as much the greatest composers of their and of all time as arid and mechanical performers of their own songs. This song is quite simply better than original, not just "different". Just pour a soulful fluid into their irreproachable pop engine and you'll dramatically increase the song value.

[@celestewessman4605]

You made me think of this; did you know, it's said that Ray Charles' voice had a rare perfect pitch? That's' so true, they had no help from electronics as today. When I play guitar with music, like the old Rolling Stones, they weren't always in tune. Back then to tune a guitar you used a piano, and hoped it was in tune😆. I used a metel tuning fork for E and we had tuning pipe, ( I think it was called ) you blew into to it, like a whistle and it played each note. I'm such a dinosaur 🤭~

What made this such an unusual recording was Duanes guitar solo. Soul solos were mostly reserved for the saxophone. Duanes underlying solo with Picketts voice at the end.. was inspiring. Duane had a feel for accompanying a voice with his guitar that doesnt intrude on the singer. He would add just enough to round out the sound and raw emotion. Check out his work on Aretha Franklin's "It ain't fair". Another perfect example.

[@brt-jn7kg]

This was recorded in Mussle Shoals Alabama. When the recording engineers went to lunch Dwayne Allman set up and recorded this song. this was a time when the South was still pretty much segregatedand Duane Allman did not want Wilson Pickett to fill out of place at some place to eat.

Radio had a strict three minutes or less if you wanted to get your record on the air. However the Muscle Shoals players had a habit of jamming on long after the cut mark. Boz Scaggs said Duane and the Swampers went into overdrive while recording Somebody Loan Me A Dime at the former casket factory, better known as Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. He said somewhere in Sheffield, Alabama, there's a can with about 45 minutes of Loan. Can you imagine? Duane, Eddie Hinton and Boz were own fire. Esteemed drummer Roger Hawkins was leading the group everywhere, one of the best session keyboard wizards ever, Barry Becket was on top and Duane, due to the tiny size of the studio, was locked in a 3 foot by 3 foot toilet with his amp, blowing shingles off the building! Of course that wasn't a first. A few months earlier, the Rolling Stones showed up for a secret recording session. They were to record three songs. The first was an old blues tune called You Gotta Move. Next up was a song that wasn't finished. Keith Richards went to Florence for some Minie Pearl's Fried chicken, came back to the studio and locked himself in the John and finished writing..... Wild Horses. The toilet seat has been replaced by a new one but, not to worry. If you make the trip to tour the studios and thousands come every year since they've been opened to the public, the original toilet seat hangs on a studio wall. During the sessions for a song called Brown Sugar, they were revved and ready. The Stones record with every thing cranked to high! I think it was Swamper David Hood who was standing outside whenthey let it fly. He said he had never seen a building shake like that! Keith said they had intended to come back the following year to record Exile on Main street but they had been barred from coming into the country for obvious reasons. Oh well.

Thank you Mr.El. I grew up in the 60's and was already a Wilson Pickett fan. He had a unique voice. I didn't learn about Duane til' the mid 80's. THIS is what a collabaration should sound like.

[@philipclaasen1957]

Such great music to encourage a sad world. I have always loved people, including Duane and Wilson. Stay strong. Old Hippy from Cape Town.

[@Creativemnds]

Wilson Pickett absolutely nails this

[@Jevezy]

Paul McCartney wrote this song for Julian Lennon ( John’s son.)

[@matthewb77780]

This song is just pure, pedal to medal power. It’s a force!!

[@dkmiller8420]

As much as I love and respect the Beatles, two of The Beatles songs were taken away from them by men who did them better. Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman with Hey Jude and Joe Cocker with I get by with a little help from my friends. Just no denying that they own those songs now!

[@maryexstroughtonaire4244]

Elton John's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was great also. He took it to number 1.

[@rothotborski]

Also: "Help" by Tina Turner. This is the way it's meant to be. John Farnham did a great redention of this song too.

[@gordeauxd]

Great? Yes. Different? Yes. Better? No. I'll take The Beatles' version of those songs any day.

[@ieshastephens3891]

This song needs to be played weekly.....FAITHFULLY!!!! Prayers for the 🌎 🗺 🌏 🌐 🌍

Atheist here, but you early got me going. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ilyedtou]

Ain’t nothing to say other than, that’s some good $h!t!!! Thank You Wilson and Duane!!

[@thewonderfulkushite9472]

Wilson and Duane made terrific team, wow!! The Beatles wrote it, but darn it, Wilson owns it. He made sure that no one could ever do it better.

[@codywhite96]

As good as Wilson and Duane mesh together on this track nothing is ever mentioned to the excellent groove that Roger Hawkins and Jerry Jemmott lay down here. The bass line in this song gives it such a groove. It locks so well with the drums.

[@ericgarner9055]

David Hood on bass

[@sl5932]

roger and jerry !!!!

[@TheNelsonmonteiro]

Just finished watching the documentary called Muscle Shoals about a couple music studios in Alabama that made history producing great music and they said that from these sessions between Wilson Picket and Duane Allman was born the southern rock style.

[@skydogduane]

Wilson lends that heart felt soul, Duane Allman throws gas on the fire and just burns !

[@ireneruthfox]

Duane just had the touch!!!!!! Amazing guitar playing.

[@jiricirtek9596]

I get cancer everytime i hear that, so much overused phrase.

[@shellywatson2784]

Yes, Skydog will always be my favorite guitar player!

[@missnic1825]

Mine too, without a doubt., So, does "overstating" the truth, change it? Nah, don't think so!

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Good gawd! I'd forgotten about this song for decades! Idk how... Why isn't this played everywhere all the time? I remember one Saturday or Sunday afternoon when I was a kid...my dad would often be the accompanying dj for the soundtrack of cleaning day at our little house in the Midwest in the late 70s/early 80s....my mom with a doo rag in her hair ...singing along to the Beatles full voiced with the windows open, fresh spring breeze blowing thru and the smell if Lemon Pledge hanging endlessly in the air, the Vantage Menthol 120 hang from her lips like it was just a part of her... But pops would switch songs around, playing everything you could imagine from his TEAC reel to reel purchase from some PX somewhere over seas and at some point when he had t been around me or prior to my memories, he'd recorded countless hours of music...and drawn mildly disturbing drawings and sayings and unit patches and jump wings and foul language and obscenities I recognized from etched zippos and photos of his tours in vietnam...and his reels may have hippie peace and love music on the tapes but in the outside it says "kill for peace" and has drawings of a soldier apparently named Sgt badmotherfucker who was doing some horribly violent shit to some guy named Charlie for some reason. But anyway it was on one of these Sunday family lemon pledge sessions that mom was singing along to her Beatles and dad hit the button that sound the tape real fast but it's still playing... And yelled something derogatory about a couple of the Beatles and questioned their sexuality...and he said this is how that song is played...and it hit me when I heard this...I hadn't thought of that day in decades...and the time in life...seems like it was another lifetime that's separated from my current endeavor by a couple more lifetimes...all much better than the one currently in effect ..but it didn't feel so bad when I heard this song again...and smelled the lemon pledge. And almost felt like my mom was around again ..

[@davecoker2354]

Soul OVERLOAD! DUANE is untouchable. Mr. Pickett is the man. That bass line, that horn section...don't get no better.

[@montanamornings8526]

I loved Wilson Pickett and his music. What a voice!

[@Alan-71351]

My man!

[@luciopoli1902]

The greatest soul scream in history. An absolute Soul Legend.

[@wymellwilliams1543]

Some people to recognize now this is so soul

[@charliewilliams6615]

Those two couldn't go to lunch with the other guy cause one was Black and the other has Long hair. They stayed & Duane suggested Hey Jude.

[@samiam5557]

Duane jammin on a Stratocaster too, it was Duane's suggestion to Wilson Pickett to record this cover version, we are so lucky he thought it was good idea! BEST cover version for sure.

[@ws_odysseus]

Duane Allman a genius guitarist & a naturally gifted voice of Wilson Pickett lifts you up to the high heavens

[@celestewessman4605]

Wilson Pickett had SO many hits in the 60's in just a few years. When I was growing up. He was always coming out of my little transistor radio🎶. An excellent voice. I have to wonder if he, like so many of the amazing black voices come from the churches😌. I went daily for a week to a Baptist Revival, their rockin for God😊! 😍 this song and arrangement with the crescendo from start to finish with the girls and Daune & everyone wrappin it up WOW!!👏👏

[@badcoach2000]

The sad part, no videos back then. A classic rock guitarist with a classic soul singer. I would have loved to have seen this session. Wow!

[@vinniemoran7362]

Recorded at Fame Studios, Muscle Shoals. Picket, Allman, Wexler, Hall and the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. A bunch of geniuses gathered in one place.

[@robinboyd2397]

A must see doc imo!!

[@timhughes9855]

No Wexler in this case. The first he ever heard of Duane was when Rick Hall played the song for him over the phone. He bought Duane's contract right then!

[@franklatona2667]

Wilson Pickett, a voice for the ages, glad I got to hear him.

[@MyCleverHandle]

Some have said that music knows no color. I say it knows ALL the colors, and we are the lucky ones who recognize that.
