Hey, did you notice there are instruments on this track? Good ones too, huge swaggering horns and a wicked beat. No, no, none of it really matters. That voice. That fucking voice. Dirty-awesome soul R&B on that. So gritty, no-nonsense, letting you know it's business time. Everything else up in there rolls underneath that vocal, that blend of expression, gruffness and sweetness. You know what's happening "in the midnight hour," and it ain't just someone "love tumbling down."

Serious Contenders: Wilson Pickett, "In The Midnight Hour"
Hey, did you notice there are instruments on this track? Good ones too, huge swaggering horns and a wicked beat. No, no, none of it really matters. That voice. That fucking voice. Dirty-awesome soul R&B on that. So gritty, no-nonsense, letting you know it's business time. Everything else up in there rolls underneath that vocal, that blend of expression, gruffness and sweetness. You know what's happening "in the midnight hour," and it ain't just someone "love tumbling down."
