Description

In The Midnight Hour’ is the calling card of none other than the great Wilson Pickett. Recorded in 1965 and written in collaboration with Stax soul guru Steve Cropper, the tune was Pickett’s first hit on Atlantic Records. A bit of trivia — the song was purportedly written by the duo at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis — the same hotel where Martin Luther King, Jr would later be assasinated in 1968. This driving soul classic has seen many covers over the years from Martha Reeves to Jackie Wilson and the Commitments, but there is something about the crisp, simple production of the original that can’t be beat.
