Mack Rice’s composition became a hit when it was covered by Wilson Pickett in 1966. Since then, everyone has covered it. Including those of us in this global virtual collab.
Our collab was based on a recording by Jimmy Barnes, who had a tight horn section on board for his cover version. My transcription is based on that, which I think is “more Wilson Pickett and less The Commitments”.
Our cover also marks the first time I was brave enough to play trombone in public!
