"Ninety Nine And A Half (Won't Do)" 7/9/1966

Some more unadulterated R&B from "Wicked" Wilson Pickett. Supposedly the "Wicked" thing came about from a conversation between him and a secretary when he showed up for a meeting at Atlantic Records. The secretary was wearing quite the short miniskirt and Wilson made a remark about what he could see, to which she replied, "You is wicked!" It stuck. Creedence Clearwater Revival had a version of this on their first album.
