"Love it, love it, love it. Wilson Pickett was one of the greatest R&B vocalists of our time. Of course, being a label mate, I heard all of his music. He could sing off the melody, but it was still on. He would go into what you call a ‘squall,’ a scream that might not be in the key of the song, but it worked. He did that on ‘In the Midnight Hour.’ Now, how much are you going to pay me for these trade secrets? How ‘bout ten cover issues?"

"This is another classic record that shaped a lot of what we did, I guess. You get those songs sometimes where you hear the sound of it and think something has happened here. Whether it's the glue or whatever that's given it this sound - and I get that with 'Crosseyed And Painless'. Whether it's loops or samples I don't know but it comes across like a soundscape with everything working off everything else. That one track does so much in terms of hearing how records can be made."
