Wilson Pickett, the soul pioneer best known for the fiery hits "Mustang Sally" and "In The Midnight Hour," died of a heart attack Thursday, according to his management company. He was 64.

Chris Tuthill of the management company Talent Source said Pickett had been suffering from health problems for the past year.

A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Pickett — known as the "Wicked Pickett" — became a star with his soulful hits in the 1960s.

yeah i heard about this on the car ride home from work. It's a damned shame. For him I will now BLARE his cover of "Hey Jude" at top volume with Gregg Allman at his side once again.

I was playing his greatest hits just the other day. One of the greatest things about 'soul' in this vein: everyone pretty much likes it.
