This must be in honor of Kalamandalam Hemaletha: According to a report in the Washington Post Express for 2011.01.07 (page 6):

7,395: The number of minutes danced nonstop by a 37-year old Indian woman to earn the Guinness record for the longest dance, Guinness World Record officials confirmed Thursday. Kalamandalam Hemaletha practiced for 10 hours a day and ran 28 miles to build stamina, and then performed in September her record-setting 123-hour, 15-minute Mohiniyattam, one of the eight Indian classical dance forms.

You're preferring a glorified (albeit great) bar band to one of the foremost R&B/ Soul singers ever?

I got a chance to see him in NYC in '98 and he could STILL shred his voice up like this. He sounded AWESOME.

I'm not quite sure if the subject/image Hitler is O.K. to use for that kind of humor. Germans used to make fun of him (more and more in secret, as the years dragged on) - 'till the downfall! After the war he was he-who-must-not-be-named. Later he was just the Antichrist. Jewish humor seems to have the balance right.

Love those horns!

American Bandstand's "Spotlight Dance" and the Soul Train line even though I can't dance a lick. Never stopped me from trying though.

God yes. I hated it but it wouldn't leave my brain. It's like the audio equivalent of monosodium glutamate.

thanks RP ! i don't think i knew before we all met that what i loved was called 'soul' - helps clear up that R&B confusion
unparalled.. the best soulman ever...
brilliant soulman, unparrelled This is the ONLY Wilson Picket on the playlist? Try a little tenderness, mustang sally, more, more, more
WICKED! You know, this song (music & lyrics) really isn't that great on its own merits. But you don't realize that because Wilson Pickett is raw power embodied. What a man. Come on y'all, let's say it one more time NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
the intro to this one will forever remind me of the audition scene from The Full Monty...
I like it like that! \:D/
Pickett, Wilson!
:D i miss john candy (is that how you spell his name?) damn he was funny
Do the mash potato, dammit. I'm bookmarking this for the next time I need to get my schwerve on and am having a hard time doing so.
