Originally done by Dyke and the Blazers, the Broadway referenced in this #1 R&B hit from Wilson Pickett isn't the one in NYC, but in Buffalo where Arlester "Dyke" Christian was from. It's also said to be about Broadway Road in Phoenix, where Mr. Christian and his band were broke and stranded once upon a time. This was recorded in Muscle Shoals and was Wilson's last Top 10 pop hit.
