This looks like it was filmed at the Soul to Soul concert in Ghana, also called the "African Woodstock". In 1971 the government of Ghana invited several black American acts to perform in celebration of the nation's fourteenth year of independence. It's some of the most electrifying concert footage you'll ever see.

The "Na Na Na Na" verse or chorus of the song was not in the original song by Chris Kenner in 1962, but was added in 1966 by the East Los Angeles group Cannibal and the Headhunters because the lead singer forgot the lyrics during recording so he ad-libbed, it sounded so good that they kept it in the recording. the rest is music history. The Beatles asked the band to open for them in their 1966 tour.

Tom Jones recorded in Muscle Shoals, & that’s the Wilson Pickett connection. It would blow your mind to know who all recorded here!

Powerhouse voice... Wilson Pickett is a legend. For a real treat try Wilson Pickett singing The Beatles "Hey Jude" with legendary Duane Allman on guitar (from the Allman Brothers Band)

My son first heard Wilson Pickett at the age of 9....he's now 25. He's still a HUGE fan!! I'm so excited to pass on the music that I loved when I was younger!

This is one of the first songs I remember from my childhood. 4 years old and I knew this was a jam.
