Wilson Pickett “Mustang Sally” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@donaldyoung9002]

I'm an old man, 71 years old, and this is a classic from my youth. Love this song!

[@joannmerver]

This song went through my head every time I would drive my dad’s ‘68 Mustang when I was in high school. ❤️👍

[@janetphillips2152]

We rocked out to this in jr. High

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love his "Land of 1,000 Dances" and "Funky Broadway"!!!

[@Markrealguy51]

Yes,for sure…also,try funky Broadway by Dyke and the Blazers

[@Cchan53]

All thru my life ,no matter where I lived ,this was covered by nearly every local band around! And how can you not get up and shake to that song !

[@dagmar.6954]

One of the great R&B soul singers in the 60's-70's. He had a lot of hits such as "In The Midnight Hour", "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)", "Land Of 1000 Dances", "Funky Broadway", "Engine No. 9", "Don't Knock My Love" etc.

This is one of the great historical songs that was recorded in a very historical place, muscle Shoals. It was a little studio in southern Alabama that just had a different sound not only from the actual recording properties, although that was one part of it, but they also had a group of studio musicians that were called the swamp men who played on most of the records that were recorded there. If you ever listen to the song, sweet home, Alabama, you might remember a line in that song that says “ in muscle Shoals, they have the swamp man”. They introduced some very significant songs from new artist that were unheard of at the time, but as other well-known musicians started hearing the records that were coming out of the studio they were wanting to do some recording down there themselves as many of them did. There was a sound that you got out of that studio that you could not replicate anywhere else. Paul Simon once called the studio and told them he wanted to come down there and record a few songs on his album with those black musicians you have in your studio. He was told that they would love to have him come down and record, however, the musicians are not black lol Aretha Franklin, the queen of soul herself was launched from the records she made in that studio before she recorded at muscle Shoals. She was having minimal success. Etta James also had a second career after recording at muscle Shoals coming off of quite a few years of time off. What is this song she recorded there was Tell Mama”. Muscle Shoals is a remarkable place with a remarkable story that I only initially learned about myself from watching a documentary on Netflix, which was very very good

[@luminiferous1960]

Several years ago when a friend of mine bought a red mustang convertible, I gave her an mp3 of this song. She loved it and played it for all of her friends and co-workers.

[@markb1114]

This has always been a favorite. Still loving it.

[@mamakat114]

Everytime I hear the background singers kick in, immediately my right hand rises up straight up in the air

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

This song always fills the dance floors then and now 🔥🔥❤️

[@michaellanning9396]

Love this , ole Wilson Pickett could sing jam with it 😊🎵✌️🔥

[@TZ61]

I had just learned Mr. Pickett had died on a Saturday shortly before the start of a radio show I did at a local college radio station, and, off the cuff, dedicated half of the show to him. Love his music going back to The Falcons, and I identified with the man and his struggles with substances. Thanks for the upload.

[@jamesburns8827]

And Wilson Pickett great at ad-libs and the scat stuff. I love his voice

[@dianel222]

Reminds me of Sally Ride, the first American woman to go to space. Muscle Shoals sound again!

[@tyrongreen9294]

On my way to Florence, AL, I drove through Muscle Shoals.

[@ronwilcox7716]

The Wicked Pickett lives on in stereo hi-fi! In The Midnight Hour - Land of a Thousand Dances - Hey Jude - Sugar Sugar - the man could do no wrong!

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Yes!!🔥Before Little Red Corvett, there was Mustang Sally!!🚗🔥

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Wilson Pickett aka Wickett Pickett

[@xnetshadowx]

This is why music is so lovely, im 45, and grew up with these songs, they hit the same way no matter how long time passes, it's a vibe!

[@joeday4293]

Recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, backed by the funkiest bunch of white country boys this side of Nowheresville, the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, also known as The Swampers. They were an absolute R&B machine. That's also them behind Aretha on "Respect," for instance, among many, MANY more. This particular song is such a classic, it has been part of a joke among bar band musicians for decades: the three songs a bar band never wants to be asked to play again as long as they live are "Mustang Sally," "Margaritaville," and "Brown Eyed Girl."

[@billyclifton5710]

Just imagine Wilson Pickett coming on American Idol as an unknown with this. He'd blow them out of their seats!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

One of the greatest records of all times! With the great Steve Cropper (The Blues Brothers) on guitar.

[@luminiferous1960]

In 1983, Sally Ride became the first and youngest American woman in space. I always wondered if anyone called her "Mustang Sally" based on the lyric in this song "Ride, Sally Ride."😉

[@reality1958]

This rock n roller has always liked me some Wilson Pickett

[@ML-un1oi]

Can not go wrong with Wicked Pickett. Great reaction as always. Appreciate you 🙏

[@dwain437]

All I can say is if you want everybody to dance . This is the one . I've seen so many local bands play this song . Rock on ..

[@sharrongrant6240]

Recorded at the fabulous Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals...all the musicians were "greasy white players" to quote Areath Franklin! Reminds me of the skating rink!!

[@stevenfriedman3670]

I am also 71 years old and still loving this song.

[@jerrybutler1336]

hey thanks for getting into the soul train , motown, philly sound stuff, they make it look so easy. seems very overlooked

[@richardmartin9565]

Sally Ride was also on the Space Shuttle crew in the 80s. Had fun with this song then.

[@patriciakeith6755]

Seems I remember NASA would play this as a wake up song when she was on the Space Shuttle. Now, I could be incorrect on this.

[@johnuskudarli2246]

Each time I hear this great song I get an earworm that lasts the whole day right on, " ride Salllyyyy riiiide "

[@Doc552]

On the Isley brothers, his name is David Isley, lead guitar

[@rubynelson8274]

He was a genius who could draw anybody into the song and get them rocking.

[@steviemccormick3762]

This song is timeless !!! Check out him and Duane Allman singing Hey Jude. Classic !!!!!

[@thomastimlin1724]

Love Wilson Pickett....Beatles like him a lot, he did a version of their Hey Jude.

[@gordonbulcock2043]

The most requested song ever if you play in a band!

[@Cchan53]

That's pretty much what my comment was...

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Yeah, cause even if you couldn't dance, this song you could fake it with (or at least in your head you could).

[@jamesburns8827]

I may have said this before, but when you listen to Wilson Pickett it makes you realize why Steven Tyler decided he wanted to be a singer. I feel like Steven Tyler Drew alot of influence from Wilson Pickett. I also saw an interview with Steve Tyler on joe Rogan podcast saying on that first album his voice was so different because he just wanted to sound like he was black. He loved those Soulful voices. Kind of like Elvis. But I've always heardd a lot of Wilson Pickett in Steven Tyler. Great tune and great singer

[@wendyw4487]

Absolutely the best version of this song EVER recorded!!!!!

[@vickihirsch8340]

If that base line don't make you move...you have no soul! I'm dancing along with BJ. Got to see WP once in his later years in New Orleans. He still had it!

[@monie2193]

My aunt was married to his brother. He made this song about his wife. He bought her a Mustang and she and my aunt used to tear up the country roads. There husbands were not impressed with their behavior! 😂 My aunt used to tell the greatest stories.

[@mrnobody9104]

You have to do Hey Jude by The Beatles covered by Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman, next level!

[@freeforever6971]

Thanks for this great song!

[@timskelton2325]

Still waiting to see a Clarence Carter reaction. Either Snatchin it Back or Strokin. The first song was done in Muscle Shoals in 1968, and is my favorite song of his. Strokin was done in the 80's somewhere else, but is probably the song that he is remembered the most for. I still say that BJ will eat it up and have fun while Asia blushes the entire song. Lol

[@ladonhilley461]

That is known as the Muscle Shoals sound. Many soulful songs were written and recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Especially at FAME recording studio. Watch the movie Muscle Shoals.

[@snackcakeman]

Sir Mack Rice wrote the song and first recorded it. Wilson Pickett is at a different level.

[@mdennis9496]

You can feel the funk on the floor with this scorcher! Filthy baseline accented by Wilson’s vocals. The pot is boiling……….

[@scuffco1868]

😂Was @ a Delta "loss baggage" in ATL, Rep told my boss."You look like Wilson Picket!"😮..I look @ her co-worker.. There's Jackie Wilson😅..Boss came in Monday haircut😂... Didn't tell co-workers about it tell he left

[@rickiatackett3934]

Music was just better back then. True musicians and singers

[@kathypriest95]

DANCE Yall! You're moving to it. DANCE!

[@lindamosley922]

I used to want to get a Mustang and get a license plate that had "Sally" on it , but never did. Now, Subaru Sally just don"t sound right,

[@laurab391]

One of my favorite Pickett songs.

[@jackiebinns6205]

Wow a oldie but goodie this song is in many movies

[@christarpley6861]

This is real music clean lyrics and good beat

[@paulcrehan4710]

Funky Broadway is the way to go!

[@christaballerinarukavina6034]

Time to watch "The Commitments."

[@mrnobody9104]

great movie! and soundtrack.

[@richardmartin9565]

The Young Rascals also do a version.

[@stanleymyrick4068]

I never danced, unless it was a slow song back in the day. With one exception. This song. I didn't know he did Land of a 1000 dances too. That's funny because my parent had a record player in the hallway that anyone could use. We had the single Land of a 1000 dances and as a kneehigh to a grasshopper kid I'd dance up and down the hall to that one too.

[@denisepoole5838]

My parents gave me a 65 mustang when I graduated high school in 1970. My name isn't Sally, but all I wanted to do was RIDE AROUND with my best friend!! My husband traded it on a Chevelle a few years after we were married. Sure wish I had it now!!

[@blackwolf6082]

Such a great rhythm

[@UnclePengy]

Whenever I sit in on a jam session, this song always gets requested.

[@williamsmith2865]

That is what the music was about in that time was dancing.

[@Mymindseye8]

Now please react to mustang Sally by the commitments....the lead singer was around 17 when they started filming. He is amazing. And keep doing what you doing, i enjoy seeing you guys react.

[@timmiszkowski9222]

Love Wilson Pickett

[@garyarnett1220]

When this song came out a 65 was brand new.

[@debrabeck9630]

Oh, yeah. Some hot music from my youth. Love this, thanks!

[@classic-kool]

I was 5, and Gramps got me on 8mm film wigglin' my butt like there's no tomorrow to this 🤣👌..

[@nicamarie946]

So, that's Bobby Brown in the thumbnail pic.

[@jessied8585]

Great review as usual. You did however miss the part when he said, I bought you a brand new mustang, a 1965. So he bought one for her and she still was too stupid and fast to appreciate a good man that was good to her. He put her back to Bus Stop Sally!🤣🤣🤣

[@brianvernon249]

Timeless.

[@robertprice6830]

The wicked Pickett

[@Jules-um4yy]

Great funky song guys. Love it!💃💃

[@adriancozad8308]

"May,I have this dance"(Class of 71)

[@lindarumsey3109]

One of my favorites! Thanks for reacting!

[@eddiedaughertyjr94]

Asia and BJ you MUST listen to Wilson Pickett's Land Of 1000 Dances AND Funky Broadway!

[@stepomuk9783]

Oh Lord ❤ Funky Baby Give it to me

[@christineremmer5514]

[@eddiedaughertyjr94]

[@gailbrown4205]

[@labchic97]

Great oldie but a goodie! I love your reaction videos. ❤

[@LindaEll]

All the thumbs up! This is it!

[@digibbs7012]

You wore the appropriate shirt because this was made in Muscle Shoals

[@petestaint8312]

BJ was in the zone! 😎

[@channelthree9424]

In 1965, that Mustang wasn’t a classic yet.

[@Bennromansince1955]

aw man, it don't get better than that!!!

[@stellamartinez6636]

His nickname was Wicked Picked

[@SavedChampion]

This generation had nothing on us back in the day. ❤❤❤

[@sheldakrull1621]

You need to watch the movie The Commitments. It's a great movie with this type of music through the whole movie

[@stannis4667]

Watch the Commitments version (or better still the whole film) 😁

[@kurtadams3021]

Pure uncut Funk 🤘🏾

[@quincee3376]

Great one!!

[@rorybisson756]

The Commitment's lead singer who is incredibly white, sings this song just as amazing as Wilson does. sometimes I have a difficult time deciding which version I like more.

[@marthaz]

Classic 🔥 👍

[@patrickkaltner8554]

Riiiiiiiiide Sally Ride!!!!!

[@tannonwraith4692]

Always worth a listen, even though I don't like ford's.

[@oltcutdown]

Music played by a bunch of white county boys from Alabama!

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

This song was funk before funk was funk!

[@liftme225]

classic great.

[@richardmartin9565]

I think 1965 was the first year of the Mustang. Or was it 1964?

[@tomlafleche332]

1964 is both when it was first introduced and first went into production in the spring of that year. The 1965 mustang went into production in Oct. 1964.

[@billgatt7816]

Know as wiked Wilson Pickett

[@renafletcher6535]

Mustang Sally was a stripper song.😅👍

[@mrnobody9104]

8).

[@timmiszkowski9222]
