Review
Wilson Pickett encountered a momentary slump in 1970, as this album was his first for Atlantic in many years that stayed locked in the bottom rungs of the pop Top 200 albums. Pickett did get a fluke novelty hit with "Sugar, Sugar," maybe his worst soul smash ever. The album wasn't a total disaster, but everyone forgot about it quickly when Atlantic rushed out Wilson Pickett in Philadelphia later that year. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi| Right On (196 Album by Sam Cooke) | |

Right On is the 1970 studio release by R&B and soul Wilson Pickett. The album is considered by many critics to be a valley in between the two peaks of the Hey Jude album in 1968 and the Gamble and Huff produced Wilson Picket In Philadelphia album that came later in 1970. Hit covers of The Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (#16 R&B, #92 Pop) and The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" (#4 R&B, #25 Pop), as well as the Pickett original "She Said Yes" (#20 R&B, #68 Pop) came from these sessions. The album, however, had dismal sales. It stayed in the bottom parts of the Billboard 200.
