Description
Louella Pickett-New's memoir is a tribute to her famous big brother Wilson Pickett, legendary soul singer. Born "Lucy Coot", she shares memories of their time together in New York City during the 1960s, including his iconic party for her sweet sixteen and her attempts to teach him how to dance. In this book, Louella paints a portrait of the complex man behind the powerful voice that sang timeless soul classics like "In the Midnight Hour" and "Land of a Thousand Dances". She draws on her own experiences as well as those of their siblings and others close to him, offering a nuanced insight into his life. Louella Pickett-New is married with two adult children and works in a community action agency. When not managing accounts, she enjoys singing in the choir at her church and baking her famous peach cobbler from her grandmother's recipe.
