    On this day in 2006 the music world lost legendary vocalist Wilson Pickett. Let’s remember the power and soul of his voice with this classic song.

    “I’m gonna wait 'til the stars come out
    And see the sweet look in your eyes
    I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
    That's when my love begins to shine”
