RESTON, Va. - 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.

Sad business. He was one of the all-time greats, bar none. Mustang Sally is the bomb. He was a stud, vocally. There were better R&B singers, but he was one of my favorites, because he brought some extra grit to the table...
