Can anyone remember the name of the song and who it is by that reels off a list of names of Motown stars including Wilson Pickett. Its something like
'hats off to Wilson Pickett, yeah, hats off to....'etc except I dont think it is hats off to :lol:

Anyone know it?

No it mentions him and a load of other artists of the time as well but its not by him and doesn't come up in the search. Its bugging me now, no doubt I will remember at an inappropriate moment!

Here is a clue:

If you "like good music" you should be able to work it out.

Also, it's not "hats off to........"

It's "spot light on ............."

I know that song :D The Jam did a cover version of it ;-) Think (off the top of my somewhat balding head) that it was on the flip-side of This Is The Modern World (in case anyone was interested, which they probably aren't LOL).

I have a copy of that iirc somewhere. I was going to say it was a Mylo track.
