Also mentioned in the original Blues Brothers movie. After "Everybody Needs Somebody" and before "Sweet Home Chicago" (first and second songs performed at the Palace Hotel Ballroom) Jake dedicated the song to Magic Sam and Wilson Pickett.

Having worked in Memphis, his passing is making some headlines. The local paper has a guest-book for condolences:

It's too bad. It's a shame to see him go, and may he rest in peace.

The weekend before he died, I watched my copy of the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary performance, where he does "Land of 1000 Dances" with the Elwood Blues Revue (the version from the Great Outdoors Soundtrack), and I watched it again the weekend after he died. A little rememberence of him...... RIP Wicked Mr. Pickett
