I worked at a Shakey's Pizza Parlor in the late 70's. When a person ordered their pizza, we handed them a number and we called them over the pa system when the order came up. When #9 was ready and if I was anywhere near the mic, I would say, #9 #9 #9 #9 #9. A few people got it.

Since 867 is the actual prefix here in Plano, Texas, I have to choose 867-5309.

As much as I love 80's nostalgia, Wilson Pickett is da man.

This is a good point.

Edit: Note the bass riff starting at 1:20. IMO, a horrible choice of notes - there's at least one passing note that sounds really off. Not uncommon back in those days. Carol Kaye, lead the way.

I'd go with the latter because Jimi!

Hendrix didn’t play on that, it was Steve Cropper(who co-wrote it with Eddie Floyd). In fact, I don’t think he recorded at all with Pickett, and was just in his live band. But Jimi is definitely on these…

There’s nothing wrong with that line, that’s the bridge, it’s all in E minor(until it resolves to C at the end, as a set up to go back to G7)and all the notes are in that scale(B,A,G,Gb,D,E). He might have flubbed a note at some point, but who cares? It’s classic garage rock.

I'm a STAX fanboy, so no contest for me.
Wilson Pickett, Steve Cropper, Duck, Al Jackson?
Hell yes please.

Same for me. I played 634-5789 when it first came out. Easy vote for me.

 

[Old gold]

Definitely Mr. Pickett.

It sounds off to me, and I think might be because his bass is not very well intonated.
