"Land Of 1000 Dances" #6 9/10/1966

Along with "Shotgun" this may be my favorite 60's dance record of them all! I have NEVER seen this fail to fill up a dance floor. Originally a minor hit by Chris Kenner out of New Orleans in 1963, it was covered in '65 by Cannibal and the Headhunters, still the best band name ever. Wilson Pickett went to Muscle Shoals to record this version full speed ahead as only he could. Positively smokin'. I dare you to stay in your seat!
