4.0 out of 5 stars A Compromise Between "Essential" and "Comprehensive", August 8, 2002

The Essentials lives up to its name in that you get 12 of the Wicked Pickett's 16 Top 40 smash hits. Pickett was one of the defining voices of the Sixties. Who else could take a bubblegum hit like "Sugar Sugar" and make it soulful? While not as thorough as a couple of Rhino's earlier compilations, this is a concise collection of some of the best soul music ever recorded. Anyone who claims to be a fan of Sixties music in general--or soul music in particular--needs this music in their collection. RECOMMENDED
