Reply to comment by zerofuxgivn420 in TIL When soul legend Wilson Picket recorded his iconic version of "Mustang Sally," he & his band rushed to hear the playback. The tape machine broke, cutting the tape into 30-40 tiny pieces. The engineer Tom Dowd carefully spliced them all back together, & that's the famous album version by wowbobwow

That’s amazing!! I can only imagine the stories he could’ve told…

Yeah, he's actually still alive and kicking lol. He also played with James Brown for a bit, and was a door gunner in 'Nam.
We used to just chat after our gigs and damn the crazy stories he told.
