It appears that Mr. Pickett was fueled by feud. I knew about the others but Billy Ward/Clyde McPhatter was news...though it should not have been--see para. 4 & 5 in this Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Ward...s_Dominoes

legend has it that billy was a hard taskmaster and clyde wasn't having it, so billy fired him.

I'm pretty sure no one was as hard a taskmaster as Ian Anderson with Jethro Tull....he demanded perfection in playing and I read somewhere once that anyone who played with him could basically name their own price when working with other artists because who they worked with after JT/IA knew they'd get perfection out of than so....
There's nothing wrong with being a perfectionist in your occupational field, its all about setting standards and maintaining them.

Paul has always been a perfectionist from The Beatles right up to his current touring band!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

I have to disagree with you SteveO....
By his own admissions he has released a lot of half finished songs because he couldn't be bothered adding final touches to them. Also several albums were released unfinished..... Most notably "McCartney", "ram", "mccartney2", "press to play", "back to the egg".

SteveO Wrote:Paul has always been a perfectionist from The Beatles right up to his current touring band! Well and good, but there is such a thing as over-rehearsing. I like Ringo's All-Starr Band doings and some of that is downright sloppy (in a good way).
